Nearly every single night during summer and fall, y’all can find me in the same spot. Grilling outside is one of those things that I look forward to every winter, counting down the days to when I can tolerate being outside enough to light up the grill again. I love to try to change up…

S’mores Crêpe Cake
Bringing the campfire fav into the kitchen, this S’mores Crepe Cake recipe has chocolate crepe layers topped with 30-layers of marshmallow buttercream, topped with chocolate ganache and toasted marshmallows. I feel like I’ve totally become that old man that just talks and whines about the weather every day. So, with that said, it’s so damn…
Panama City Beach: Sights & Adventures
A little (or a lot) of sun for a quick getaway can be the perfect cure to the need-to-getaway blues. What better way to relax than on the beach? I’m taking you all along my long weekend in Panama City Beach, Florida, to show you how I enjoy the sugar-white sand beaches, parks and endless…
Panama City Beach: Eats & Treats
Few things in life are better than taking a long weekend for some fun in the sun at the beach. For as long as I can remember, every summer growing up meant trips to explore the always sunny Eastern coastline. I’ve just returned (with a toasty nice tan, I may add) from the sugar-white sand…
Blueberry Streusel Kolache
After finding a bakery within walking distance from my house, I quickly because hooked on kolache. This recipe is for a sweet yeast roll kolache with fresh blueberry filling, topped with streusel crumbles and pearl sugar. Perfect for brunch or a sweet tooth snack. Kolache aren’t something that I have grown up with, or probably…
Goat Cheese Prosciutto Stuffed Peppadews
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…
Aperol Spritz Elderflower Sorbet
Every summer needs a star sipper, and the Aperol Spritz has been it in my house for a solid two years. It is completely worthy of a repeat appearance for a second year. I’ve spun the spritz into an incredibly smooth sorbet, alongside an elderflower addition for this Aperol Spritz Elderflower Sorbet recipe. Maybe it’s…
Strawberry Basil Donuts
Do y’all ever find yourselves just kinda zoned out, thinking about donuts during a layover in a stuffy airport? I thought so. — I found myself doing exact that when I was on my way back home from a quick trip to Seattle a couple weeks ago. I think I ended up with a list…
Whiskey Salted Caramel Ice Cream Sandwich
This past weekend, I drove back to my home state of Kentucky for the first of many warmer weather lake weekends. It was finally warm enough to feel like that dreadful winter blaaaah had left us for good. It seems only appropriate to celebrate spring and summer finally showing it’s pretty little face with a twist…
Peanut Butter Cup S’mores Cupcakes
I know that I yap on a lot about “it’s SUMMER and this is what you should be eating!”, but…. IT’S SUMMER and this is PERFECT, y’all! — If there is a single iconic summer backyard treat that immediately sets the summer scene in my mind, it’s a s’more. I’ve made Fall S’mores with pumpkin…
