Loveless Cafe Pumpkin Cheesecake Cookies

I know that I have posted a bunch of recipes using pumpkin, but it is such a great fall ingredient and it tastes so good, so here is one more.  I made these this past weekend, and they are amazing.  Thank you to the Loveless Cafe in Nashville for another great recipe.  I will say […]

Skirt Steak with a Chimichurri Sauce

We had a few people over for dinner this past Friday night, and while I have heard that you are never supposed to serve something new at a dinner party, these were my best friends, so I thought that I could experiment on them.  Everything I made was a first time attempt.  It was a […]

Bourbon Chili

My dad has this saying that everything is good at the Waffle House except the waffles.  It is a big joke in our family, and I feel like this saying is apropos when I go to oyster roasts and say that my favorite thing is the chili.  However, since I can’t eat oysters and my […]

My New Braiser

I hope everyone had a great Halloween and has transitioned into it getting dark at 6:00pm well- I am not quite down with it, and we spent the better part of the weekend arguing over why Daylight Savings Time exists.  It is not for the farmers as I previously thought but was suggested by a […]

Happy Halloween!

The day is finally here!!  Tunnel construction has begun, and according to Walker and my dad- it is going to be a 22nd Century Scare.  The 21st century is way to passee- obviously!  The ideas that they have and are trying to institute this year are maybe beyond ridiculous, but as long as they are […]

Halloween Costumes and Pumpkin Cheese Puffs

Halloween has always been Walker’s favorite holiday especially since we have moved back to Charleston.  He loves the carnival at school and of course the candy is great, but Walker actually doesn’t go in for trick or treating. Every year, Walker and my dad build a haunted tunnel up the front steps of my parents house, […]

Weekend Reading and Blackberry Farm Pumpkin Pudding

Most weekends, outside of Walker’s football or other various sporting activities, we try to keep our days pretty free since we are usually so busy during the week.  A lot of this free time, Corby designates to reading time.  He can spend hours and hours reading the Wall Street Journal Weekend Edition or various magazines […]

Charleston- Best City in the World!

Conde Nast Traveler just named Charleston, SC the best city in the world (http://www.cntraveler.com/readers-choice-awards/top-cities-in-the-world-charleston-cape-town-bangkok-vancouver-photos#slide=1). Pretty impressive, and I completely agree, and I am not surprised.  Where else could my sweet Walker play on Civil War cannons looking out over the harbor- this city is amazing.  It is actually surprising how long it has taken for […]

Lowcountry Local First Field Feast- Food is Good

We went to the 4th annual Lowcountry Local First Field Feast on Sunday, and it was as expected- AMAZING!! The setting was spectacular out at Rosebank Farm on Wadmalaw Island.  The tent  was set up by the river, we enjoyed cocktails on the lawn with Long Miles played, and then we moseyed down to the […]

The Whole Pig

I have eaten a lot of pulled pork in the last two weekends.  It has been pretty awesome.  What I have been amazed at is the different ways said pork has been prepared and how tasty each different one is.  The first round of BBQ sandwiches was last weekend when we spent the day on […]
