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…

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…
“Healthy-(Er)” Chicken & Broccoli Casserole…Maybe
Casseroles. If you are from the South, “almost” everyone loves them. And I mean loves ALL kinds of casseroles. They are easy, one pot, comfort foods, main meals, side dishes, desserts, breakfasts…ANYTHING you want them to be! In fact…we like to just turn ordinary, plain dishes into some sort of casserole. For no reason other…
Maple & Orange Baked Ham…Perfect for Easter Dinner!

Pasta is one of those foods that is so easy to keep handy in the pantry. So many different shapes, sizes and uses! Homemade or dried, it’s so versatile and quick to…
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…
Super Bowl Party! Or Just a Reason to Get Together….
Ahhh the Super Bowl. That Sunday every year where 2 NFL teams duke it out for the Championship and 364 days of bragging rights. Or for me…that Sunday every year to attend our friend Phil’s annual cookout, watch the best commercials of the year, and of course the half-time show (I think I’m a Bruno…
