I am officially finished with the summer heat, y’all. Nashville is hawwwwwt in one of those uncomfortable, sticky kinda ways. The only saving grace right now is that I really do love all of the summer minglings with friends. Weekend and evening drinks and laughs almost make me forget that fall is just around the corner…

Fried Mashed Potato Balls
When I was a kid, I can remember going to a University of Kentucky football game. If any of you know anything about Kentucky, you’ll know how horrible of an idea that even is. When we got there, it started to snow. It continued to snow. Eventually, someone in my family was able to pry…
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.
Everything Bagel Focaccia Bread

I have something to get off my chest. This may be difficult for some of you to hear, but I am told that admission is the first step to recovery. I am… Oh, geez… Ok. I am. I am a condiment queen (actually a phrase kids use these days…). There. I said it! Mac sauce…
Pesto Three Ways
One of the most simple, delicious sauces is a classic pesto. Traditionally, pesto genovese, which is named after it’s originating home in Genoa, Italy, is a simple sauce made from nuts, cheese, garlic, basil, olive oil and salt. While pine nuts are usually the culprit of choice, many other nuts can be used to give…
Garlic Sautéed Skillet Zucchini
SO… I realize I’ve been on a major sugar kick recently. I’ve had a few people ask me…”Do you post regular food on your blog, too?”. I’ll do my best to ignore that fact that sugar and butter are as naturally enjoyable as can be, and give it a go. You can cook healthy food…
