This past Saturday, if you haven’t already figured out, I went to Pepper Place Farmer’s Market. Farmer’s Markets are obviously an addiction for me. I could be a Farmer’s Market Hoarder. Because I want everything. And I mean EVERYTHING. I’ve bought cutting boards, bowls, jewelry, fruits, vegetables, cheeses, BBQ…pretty much anything I’m in the mood…

A Fresh, Beautiful, Sinful & Sweet…Homemade Strawberry Cake!
Fresh Strawberries. Is there a fruit much better than fresh Strawberries? No…no there isn’t. Unless it’s Peach Season. And then…there is no better fruit than Peaches. Well…until Watermelon Season…and then…well you get my point. I am a lover of all fruit. But as of right now…my favorite fruit is Strawberries! After my latest trip to…
Chipotle & Honey Pork Tacos with a Lime Radish Slaw
This weekend was the Memphis in May World BBQ Championship in Memphis, TN. And if you’ve been following me…then you know I love a good BBQ! Can’t you imagine all of that WONDERFUL BBQ pork smoke swirling through the air?!?! Gah…what a fun weekend that would be! My friend, Chris Lilly, and the Big Bob…
Sweet Tea Brined, Buttermilk Fried Chicken with a Sriracha, Honey Sauce
Fried Chicken. Not much more to say than those 2 words…. I’m just kidding (not really). Fried chicken is one of my all time favorite foods. Picnics, Family Reunions, Tailgates, Sunday lunches, Breakfast…. 🙂 I can remember years ago as a kid always devouring the fried chicken at our Lexington family reunions. And there was…
I Can’t Grill–But Here’s a Fabulous Roasted (or Grilled) Potato Salad!
It is finally May here in the South. And May usually means sunny days, warmer temps (humidity), flowers blooming…and barbecue’s! The smell of food cooking on a grill makes me SO happy. Charcoal Grills, Gas Grills, Big Green Eggs, Big Blue Eggs, Polka Dot Eggs…doesn’t matter to me what kind it is…as long as it’s…
Maple & Orange Baked Ham…Perfect for Easter Dinner!
Easter is finally in a few days. And this is one of those Holidays that I ABSOLUTELY love. There is just so much meaning in Easter Sunday! Church Services, Easter Dresses, Bunnies, Easter Egg Hunts, Families Gathering Everywhere…and Ham. Lots and Lots of Ham. Yep! I admit it. Ham is one of my favorite things…
Oven Roasted, Flavored Bacon! My Mouth is Already Watering….
I. Love. Bacon. Let me say that again. I. Love. Bacon. I mean who DOESN’T?!?! Well…those crazy kids that don’t eat meat dislike bacon. And I just feel sorry for them. Because bacon just makes EVERYTHING better! And there are so many different ways to use bacon! Chocolate-covered, maple-glazed, pepper-crusted, in a drink, crumbled, sliced,…
Updated…But Still Old-Fashioned…Strawberry Pie
Springtime weather is FINALLY just around the corner! Thankfully! And during the winter of 2014, the South has certainly experienced some very bi-polar weather!! 74 degrees one day…24 degrees the next. Rain & thunder showers…followed up with 3 inches of snow & ice!!! So tiring. So long. So…OVER. When I went to the grocery store…
Sunday Brunch with a Sausage, Potato, Onion & Italian Cheese Frittata
Weekends. I LOVE the weekends! But…I REALLY, REALLY love the weekends when SUNDAY BRUNCH is involved!! Brunch is one of my absolute favorite meals especially in the Spring & Summer! And since the weather is starting to warm up…I’m really getting the fever for my favorite times of year!! Hundreds of different egg dishes, french…
Sunday Skillet Chicken Dinner! Or a Monday…a Tuesday…or a Wednesday Dinner!
Let’s be honest. There are a MILLION ways to cook chicken. And with that being said, I’ll admit…I don’t LOVE chicken anymore! It’s just SO predictable. So much of the same all of the time. So blah. Yep, I’m a bitter chicken cooking, recipe ignoring, non-lover of the bird. Or so I thought…. For the…
