Glazed Gourmet Opened Today!!

We now have a gourmet doughnut shop in Charleston- I am beyond excited! Glazed Gourmet (www.glazedgourmet.com) opened on Upper King Street, and I hear they have a pumpkin doughnut that is extremely tasty.  Can’t wait to check it out for myself! Will post with a picture and an update when I make it there. 

Cattle, Football, and Petit Fours

I am back from a trip to Oklahoma and Arkansas, and what a trip it was- I saw the sunrise three out of the four days we were gone! We spent two days in Oklahoma at the Drummond Ranch, where Corby’s oldest friend, Ladd and his wife, The Pioneer Woman (www.thepioneerwoman.com) Ree, and their four […]

Heading to visit the Pioneer Woman!

I am about to head off for a long weekend in Oklahoma and Arkansas- two states I have never been to.  We are headed to Oklahoma this afternoon to spend two nights with the Pioneer Woman (www.thepioneerwoman.com)  and her husband.  Corby and the Pioneer Woman’s husband have been friends since they were 4, which is […]

Mississippi Mud Pie

On top of working with the Lee Brothers last week, which was the best experience ever, I also moved.  As all of you know, moving is not fun- at all!  However, I now have a much bigger kitchen, and I also got some old Pyrex mixing bowls from ebay.com which are fantastic.  My son asked […]

The Lee Brothers Cookbook Photo Shoot

It is so amazing to watch all the […]

Gouda Grits and Seafood Goodness

We spent a long weekend down on Wadmalaw Island, just 30 minutes south of Charleston, SC.  The weather couldn’t have been more beautiful, and we ate some good food!  Here are two of the best things we had.  First- the crabs!  I am not actually going to write a recipe for this as we caught […]
