Growing up the words grits and hominy were interchangeable. There was no difference between the two, and it has only been recently that I found out there actually was a difference. It was actually brought up last night as a topic of conversation preceding dinner. What is the difference between grits and hominy. The answer […]
I am always on the hunt for new recipes- especially ones that involve cheese or chocolate. This is the first time I have come across one that has both, and while that might be a little intimidating at first, these chocolate cheese layered bars are fantastic! It is cream cheese which is maybe better than […]
We spent this past weekend in Savannah, GA. Having never been there, I really didn’t know what to expect, and I was wonderfully surprised. Of course I had heard Savannah was beautiful, but being from Charleston I am of course biased. It really is a beautiful city. We had perfect weather for walking around, and […]
The wedding is done, and we had a fantastic weekend! And the cake turned out well which I could not have done without the help of my dear college friend Lance!! Thanks to her secret icing recipe and talking me through some basics, it all came together! She is a fantastic baker, and if you […]
I am getting married in 8 days. It is amazing how fast this has gone- granted I didn’t want much time between engagement and wedding, and everything is all done- except that I still have to make the wedding cake. This is the only thing that I am feeling at all stressed about, but I […]
I just read that over 362 billion Oreos have been sold since they first came out in 1912.

However, it just proves that there are many […]
I came across Bayou Bakery located in Washington, DC while searching for new recipes and places I want to visit, and I think a stop here on my yearly drive to New York this summer is going to be a must!! Not only that, I think I need to own this cookbook DamGoodSweet – Desserts […]
I used to not like quiche. Most likely the reason for this is that I thought all quiche contained spinach because when my mother made quiche it was spinach quiche. I am still not a huge fan of cooked spinach- will eat it in my salad all day long. I like it fresh. Of course […]
There is probably a reason why bunnies and eggs have come to represent Easter, but I don’t know what it is. I have seen some pretty funny comedy sketches talking about it though, so at least the randomness provides a lot of humor. I am not a huge deviled egg fan- it is the texture […]
This past Friday, Walker, Corby and I rode our bicycles over to Carolinas, a local restaurant that has been around forever. My father’s office building is right across the street, and literally, he goes there every day for lunch. And much to their enjoyment/chagrin, he has the same thing every day. He orders a chopped […]
