As I mentioned, my good friend Melissa visited recently from Toronto. Melissa grew up in Atlanta, and we went to University of Georgia together, so we obviously had to have a Southern-themed football brunch for the Georgia-LSU game while she was here. These cheesy grits were the first thing I put on my list. If […]
Biscuits can seem tricky, if you’ve never made them before. You have to cut butter into small pieces, you have to be careful not to put too much liquid into the dough and you don’t want to over-stir or over-knead it. But it really isn’t as hard as it looks. You don’t have to have […]
Football is kind of a big deal around here. Between my need to watch Georgia games and Toby’s desire to watch every other football game ever played… it can get a little excessive. And while I’m on board with lot of football on TV, I wasn’t super excited when I realized that moving to the […]
It has been far, far too long since I’ve posted a recipe here. I’m sorry, and I’m going to make it up to you, starting today. I just hope you like bacon. Unlike the entire Internet, I am actually not head-over-heels for bacon. I know, I’m a weirdo. It’s cool. But, as you might imagine, […]
So, I think y’all know that I’m semi-obsessed with this fruit salad with mint sugar. But it’s nice to switch things up occasionally, and for the Fourth of July I wanted something without added sugar, since we were going to have dessert (and since fruit has natural sugar anyway). What I think you’ll love about […]
The Fourth of July is all about grilled meat and watermelon and cold beer… but you still need something to eat for breakfast. Hence, cherry-blueberry muffins. And I even lightened them up a bit by using nonfat Greek yogurt in place of some of the butter. Don’t worry, though. You can use all butter if […]
Hey! How are y’all? I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve blogged, but we are currently up to our eyeballs in boxes, getting ready for our big move to California. Anyway, I’m sorry I have neglected you. Will some moist, cheesy cornbread with just a bit of jalapeño kick help? I thought so. […]
I know it’s only Thursday, but if you’re looking forward to a lazy weekend at home and don’t anticipate wanting to change out of your pajamas for brunch… you’re in luck. You can make some amazing, flaky and beautiful scones with very little effort. Scramble some eggs and pour a pitcher of mimosas, and viola! […]
Fruit salad: It doesn’t sound very exciting, because it normally isn’t. But that’s because most fruit salad contains cantaloupe (gross) and doesn’t include mint sugar. This version is super easy (you literally just cut a few things up and stir) and is so good that every time I make it, someone asks me for the […]
So, Christmas is over. We braved the mall and ran in the snow and tried (and failed) to work off all that Christmas ham and macaroni and cheese and cranberry sauce (3 miles in the pool so far this week). But the holidays aren’t done yet! Even if you had to go back to work […]
