I did not grow up with Nutella, and I actually only tried it about two years ago. It was ok, but I didn’t love it. I have never bought Nutella nor made anything with Nutella and to be honest, I don’t really get it. Is it healthy chocolate because friends I know who are real […]
I can’t believe it is Thanksgiving week already!! We are headed up to the mountains tomorrow, and thanks to Mother Nature, it looks like it will be absolutely freezing up there with hopefully some snow. My sister and her family are driving down from New York, and Walker can’t wait to see his cousins. He […]
I am not sure what Thanksgiving is like in your family, but we usually eat our meal in the late afternoon. I like this because it gives everyone plenty of time to do what they need/want to do beforehand. Corby has a tradition of going for a Thanksgiving day bicycle ride which is usually 40-50 […]
My entire family is spending Thanksgiving together up in the mountains. Granted there are only 11 of us, so it is not that huge, but we did want to make Thanksgiving as easy as possible- especially on my mother who usually does everything. So take the load off of her for a year, my brother […]

While we don’t really have apple picking down here as such, I do love living vicariously through my friends who live further north. Fortunately, my Yahoo.com home page seems to read my mind occasionally, […]
This just might be heaven. This recipe popped up on my Yahoo.com home page, and this might be the perfect adult Halloween treat. I would definitely be in an apple bobbing contest for these- so fun. Red Wine Caramel Apples Ingredients: 8 small McIntosh apples, stemmed, washed well, and dried 1 1/2 cups red wine […]

Here is the description from the website. “Cook It Raw BBQ Perspectives will feature more than 40 local and internationally acclaimed chefs preparing their interpretation of Lowcountry BBQ. This event will be a celebration of all things BBQ with a […]
Even though it was a short week, I am so glad it is Friday. We don’t have much planned for this weekend other than some school projects due next week and of course Walker’s football game bright and early on Saturday morning. I was trying to think what would be a good breakfast for him […]
We just spent a wonderful long weekend up in Western North Carolina with friends, and the leaves could not have been better. We sat by the fire, we hiked, and we ate a ton. I hated for it to end. Here is a picture from on of our hikes from the top of Hawksbill. The […]
