I am not from Louisiana, nor have I ever lived there. I do, however, have some Louisiana ties (my mama’s mama’s people are from Shreveport), and I grew up drinking ...

Can You Hear Me Now? {Garlic Ginger Chicken with Brussels Sprouts}
Remember the Telephone Game from when we were kids? The one where a bunch of people sit in a circle, and one person starts by whispering a message into the ear of their neighbor, and that person turns and whispers (what is supposed to be) the same message into their neighbor’s ear, and so on […]
Giving Thanks {Pear & Pistachio Cake}
Wishing everyone who’s celebrating today a peaceful and bountiful Thanksgiving. In our house, we have a tradition of going around the table before the Thanksgiving meal and sharing something for which we are thankful. So, in the spirit of tradition, I thought I’d give a little thanks here, as well. I’m thankful for family, near […]
Hello, November {Roasted Pumpkin Seeds}
November. It’s always been one of my favorite months of the year. The weather is cooler, the sky is clear and impossibly blue. It’s a month of celebrations in our house: my youngest’s birthday, my birthday, Thanksgiving. Lots of opportunities to consume ridiculous quantities of delicious food. And cake. And pie. November is a good […]
Thinking of You {Molten Dulce de Leche Cakes}
I’d like to tell you I was thinking of you when I made this recipe. I really would, because then, somehow, I could justify having eaten as many as I did. The truth of the matter is, I haven’t thought about much of anything lately except these cakes. And maybe (perhaps?) the fall/Halloween festival at […]
The Bitten Word Cover to Cover Challenge {Beet Salad}
If you worry that Autumn signals the end of bright, colorful salads, then you clearly haven’t tried this one. The boys over at The Bitten Word brought this salad to my attention. A couple of weeks ago, they decided to include their readers in an October food magazine cover to cover challenge. They had a […]
Metro Atlanta Urban Farm {Shrimp & Grits with Bacon, Corn, Asparagus and Chardonnay}
This week has been a bit of a whirlwind. For someone who is happily content to exist within a 3-mile radius, I have traveled outside my usual stomping grounds on more than one occasion in the last seven days. And I’m exhausted. But also enlightened and inspired. On September 20, I had the privilege of […]
Let’s Talk About Running {And Fig Cake}
This title may seem incongruous at first glance. And possibly at second glance, too. The truth is, I don’t care. I want to talk about both, and this here is my blog, so I’m gonna do what I want to do. So there. Back in January, I made a commitment publicly – right here in […]
Where Have You Been All My Life? {Cast Iron Roast Chicken}
Kids, I’ve had a revelation. An absolute epiphany. I’ve seen the light. Today, I discovered the secret to fast, perfectly roasted chicken. Two and a half years into this blogging experience, and I’ve finally found a roast chicken recipe I feel confident sharing. That just seems wrong somehow. Do you ever feel like you’re doing […]
Honey, Cake {Honey Cake}
First, let me just say that we’re not big on terms of endearment in our house. We don’t call each other Sweetheart or Babycakes or Darlin’. Or, god forbid, Lover (I think I just threw up in my mouth a little). Sometimes I’ll call my husband stinky, but that’s mostly a descriptor and not so […]
Worth Sharing {Roasted Potatoes}
Listen, y’all. I know it’s been over a month since I last posted. It’s not like I haven’t been trying. I have at least three posts in various stages of completion that I just haven’t been able to bring myself to publish. I’m sorry. I guess I just haven’t felt like sharing much lately. Until […]
