This summer we visited some family in Georgia. It was my first trip to the south, unless you count a layover in the Atlanta airport. As we were planning what we would do on our trip, I said the the only things I cared about was visiting a plantation and eating southern food. Luckily, we got to experience both of these and much more. It was such a great trip. The southern food ...
There are some nights when I am really excited about making dinner and I want to spend extra time making something nice.

The list of ingredients is long, but don't ...

I also love to throw in fresh tomatoes from the garden, sadly these are store bought because our cherry tomato plants are dead. :( This pasta salad is light and loaded with flavor. The chicken really makes it substantial ...

I got this delicious recipe from Husband's brother and his wife, the same ones who gave us the secrets of cake mix peach cobbler. Although I call this my fancy ...
This has become one of my favorite week night dinners. It is super yummy and I almost always have all the ingredients on hand. I inherited this recipe from my sister, an amazing cook, but it originates from Alton Brown on the Food Network. I have to admit Alton is not my favorite Food Network guy, but this mac and cheese is delicious, so I have to give him credit. I've made ...
I am the mother of two amazing kids and I am married to an incredibly sweet and smokin' hot guy. I taught elementary school and preschool before leaving to become a stay at home mom. Now I'm embarking on the adventure of a lifetime and learning how to be a mom.
