Barbados ¦ Part One – Deep Seeded Love

January 31, 2012

Once upon a time there was a young, redheaded little girl. Fresh from the majestic blue mountains in which she had grown up, she was now unceremoniously plopped down into the lowlands. Surrounded by gritty sand, thundering waves and spandex wearing Olivia Newton John wannabe’s. She felt terribly lost and alone. Suffering from culture shock […]

Heirloom Tomato & Leek {Egg White} Frittata

January 30, 2012

Whenever I bake certain desserts I’m left with some lonely little egg whites with nowhere to go. Do you ever run into this dilemma? Left over egg whites need some love as well don’t you think? Not tossed to the side or simply scrambled. They need to shine beautifully and bask in their own rays […]

Foggy Coastal Morning

January 23, 2012

I was going to start this week off talking about surferboy’s trip to the Caribbean but I just had to share our foggy morning with y’all first. Early coastal foggy mornings happen to be one of our favorite times of the day. As we were driving to school this morning M2 and I were engrossed […]

Greek Rubbed Pork Tenderloin

January 13, 2012

By chance do y’all like pork? We happen to live in pork country guys. NC is synonymous with pork. I grew up with pork chops making an appearance on the table quite often. Personally I like pork tenderloin. There are so many different ways that you can be creative with it and still have dinner […]

Greek Seasoning Mix

January 13, 2012

Spicing up our lives is always fun, but do you actually play with spices very often? Do you ever wonder if you mix a little bit of paprika with a little bit of garlic salt what you will get? Or are you like me? Discovering precious spices in the pantry long forgotten and neglected. I […]

Mountain Biking Adventures

January 9, 2012

This past weekend the weather here was AMAZING and lovely. There was absolutely no way that we were going to stay cooped up in the house so we opted to do something that we haven’t done together in a while. Okay, something that I haven’t done with the guys in a while. We pulled out […]

Tuscan Baked Beans

January 6, 2012

This past week it has been cold. Let me say that again. BRRRRR…chatter, shiver…BRRRRR! I am not built for cold weather guys. My simple theoretical equation for this short coming is as follows. Melanin = Blood Flow. Therefore, negative 1 million on the pigment scale = zero blood flow and ice running through the veins […]

Welcome 2012! {Looking Ahead}

January 2, 2012

I am about as bouncy and happy as can be today! I know being perky on a Monday is slightly annoying, but I am truly enthusiastic about the New Year. It feels fresh and full of boundless possibilities. It seems as if the light today is infused with the golden glow of new beginnings. The […]

Hot Cocoa Ice Cream with {Peppermint Chocolate Chips & Marshmallows}

December 22, 2011

Some years we wake up to a brisk, chilly Christmas and other years we’re in tank tops with flip flops. This Christmas is on the warm and humid side, and I love it! It would be nice to have fluffy white snow for Christmas. It would definitely feel more nostalgic and cozy, but by now […]

Fun & Games During School Break!

December 21, 2011

It never fails, no matter how many toys or outdoor activities we plan, the guys will inevitably get bored during school break. When I say guys I mean all three…big, teenage and little. I’m sure that I am not the only one who’s bombarded with huffs, puffs and dramatic sighs during school break. So I […]
