I am so, so, so excited for Callie’s Biscuits and Southern Traditions cookbook to come out on October 15th. Callie’s is a staple at parties in Charleston, from her amazing biscuits to the delicious pimento cheese- everything she makes is fantastic, and I am thrilled that she is putting out a cookbook! I am also […]
Walker spent four days out at Camp St. Christopher on Seabrook Island with his grade- 75 10 year olds. I don’t think you could have paid me to be a chaperone for that field trip. They had a ball playing in the mud pit and learning more about the lowcountry natural life. They had to […]
We spent a glorious day on Saturday with friends on a dock. The light at the end of the day was so beautiful, and watching Walker and his friend jumping in the water and swimming, it really was a golden afternoon. It reminded me of a soup I had a while ago called Golden Cream […]
It is one of the all time great debates- how to make the perfect Bloody Mary. Of course, this is all dependent on people’s tastes etc, but what I think makes the perfect Bloody Mary for me is what leads up to drinking it. This past weekend we went to visit my sister in New […]
We are taking a house party up to Linville in about a month, and I am so excited for it that I have already started planning the menu. I was going to have traditional spaghetti sauce, homemade bread, and salad for dinner one night because it is what we always have for house parties in […]

I feel like we had our last real summer weekend this past weekend. My brother and his wife invited us out to a beach house they had rented on Folly Beach for Friday night. We went to Taco Boy for dinner and then sat around talking and listening to the ocean. Saturday morning I got […]
A new Italian restaurant opened in Charleston a couple of months ago, and I had dinner there yet again last night, and again, it was fabulous! I was there with some girhttps://thesouthwillrise.com/wp-admin/post-new.phplfriends, and we started out with the butter bean puree, Castelvetrano olives, and the 24-month aged American Iberico prosciutto. All of it was amazing- […]
It is Friday of Labor Day weekend which to me officially is the end of summer. One last weekend at the beach before we hope the weather turns a bit cooler. However, as sad as I am about summer being over, it also means that college football has started again. South Carolina kicked off the […]
We have survived the first week back to school- it actually was relatively easy. Walker came home the first day saying that he had the best group of teachers which is always good, and more importantly, he has not had too much trouble waking up in the morning. The main change in school this year […]
