Southern Love

Blue Cheddar Cornbread and Granny

September 29, 2011

As far back as I can remember there has always been a cake of warm buttery cornbread ready and waiting. My parents made it at least twice a week, if not more. It’s simply one of those southern staples that we can’t live without. Most people get concerned when the sandwich bread runs out, my […]

Easy Getaways-New Zealand Sangria

August 10, 2011

Some days we need to kick back and relax a little. Other days we feel the need to be transported to another land entirely. A place where we can lose ourselves in an atmosphere of wonder, immersed in exotic flavors and leave our worries behind. As much as we may like to, we can’t always […]

Carolina Summers and BBQ Fries

July 20, 2011

Carolina summers bring to mind endless hours of fun played out under the sun. Children frolicking along our shores surrounded by blue skies, while giggling at the rolling waves. Surfers paddling out into the ocean, expressing their joy by throwing buckets of water or dancing across their boards. Afternoons devouring ice cream and Italian ice […]

Honey Peaches & Cream

July 8, 2011

As you all know my darlin’ surfer was off playing in the waves for the last three weeks. During that time you may have noticed that there hasn’t been many, if any recipes coming out of my kitchen. If you’ve been keeping up with my shenanigans you know why. So when my good friend Paula of Bellalimento invited me to […]

Sausage & Cheese Pinwheels

November 24, 2010

How can you not fall in love with crispy little bites of delicious homemade biscuit dough filled with maple sausage and cheddar cheese? Trust me no one other than M2 can resist them in my house. My boys have weird palates, I get that. Pinwheels have been around for eons. Some brilliant woman back in the day probably had her husband spring […]

Oyster Dressing

November 21, 2010

There will always be dishes during the holidays that have been passed down through the generations and are forever a part of your family’s traditional fare. Then there are those recipes you’ve always wanted try and possibly include in your menu. For me that recipe has been oyster dressing. I wish I could tell you […]

Pumpkin Beignets

October 26, 2010

Welcome to my little corner of bliss. Most people adore a good donut, myself included but there is something about a beignet that brings out my hidden smile. You know what I mean. One of those sly devils hidden just so in the corner of your mouth, waiting for that perfect something to set it free. […]

Rum Bread Pudding w/ White Chocolate Drizzle

October 14, 2010

Did any of you out there guess what the slice of decadence is up there? If you guessed bread pudding pat your self on the back and treat yourself to something sweet. I would send you a slice but it’s all gone. Don’t ask me! I came home and all that was left of my bread pudding […]

If…

October 13, 2010

If I wasn’t half asleep I would have that ready for breakfast this morning, but I’m sleep typing so enjoy the cereal guys. If I wasn’t such a tease this would be an actual post, then again I like messing with y’all just a little. If you like it I will make more…I promise. I […]
