It may surprise all of you that I was never the kid that just begged for more greens on my plate. I would qualify a couple (literally) green beans as having my share of vegetables that I was required. Logically, I still think I was in the right. I still prefer a plate of monotoned…
Sides / Appetizers
Double Vanilla Sage Biscuits
B-b-b-b-biscuits, y’all! If there is anything sacred here in the South, it’s the biscuits. Every family has their own secret recipe, special way of preparing it, or twist on the classic favorite. Mine is no exception to that standard. A good biscuit can be transformed into a savory side for dinner or even a sweet…
Grilled Mustard BBQ Slaw
Fall is for grilling. Plain and simple. Grilling at home, at a friends’, or at your favorite team’s tailgating events. People often have slaw as a side during BBQ celebrations, but hardly ever is it focused on as the main squeeze. We’re about to change all of that. Grilled Mustard BBQ Slaw is the name…
Blackberry Goat Cheese Focaccia
I’ve been in a bread-making mood for quite some time now. Something about homemade bread just screams comfort to me. Once you get the basics of bread making down, you can venture into just about anything– savory or sweet. Trying to grasp onto the very last of summer (even though it has strangely been the hottest…

Southern Creamed Spinach
I’m going to share my favorite way to eat all of my veggies with you all. A pretty simple, but insanely comforting side dish that goes with just about everything. Southern-style Creamed Spinach is where it’s at.
Cajun Fried Okra
Okra, okra, okra, okraaaaa! I think if I were to go to prison for some food crime (like hating rhubarb, probably), fried okra would be part of my last meal. Growing up, I preferred this stuff over McD’s fries any day. Turns out, nothing has really changed with regard to that. Since we are all…
Everything Bagel Focaccia Bread
If you’ve been following my Instagram, you’ll know how insanely obsessed with the classic favorite Everything Bagel [ahhhhh *angels sing*] that I currently am. Something about that garlic, onion, poppy, sesame, salt blend that just hits the spot. I decided to bump things up a bit and see what else would taste amazing…
Blood Orange Biscuits
It’s always interesting to me to watch what fads come in and out of the food scene. Cronuts™ to cupcakes to kale everything. Blood oranges are now one of the most flashed around photos on the scene. Citrus always makes a strong appearance during the winter months, but this juicy jewel has taken the…
