Oprah are you reading this?

January 3, 2010

Okay, before you go believing that I have lost my mind or that I have a massive ego, let me stress that I do not believe Oprah is in any way, shape or fashion reading my little blog. I have a plan for someone close to me. That being said let me explain the title. […]

A Tale of Two Corn Breads

January 1, 2010

What do you do on New Years Day? Are you recovering all day from the parties that you attended the night before? Have you already begun working on your resolutions for the new year or are you putting them off for just one more day? Especially those of you with diet resolutions, since ya know […]

Blue Day before a New Year.

December 31, 2009

This year, in order to usher in the New Year, we decided to have some fun at the beach and then relax at home just the four of us. The weather today was absolutely perfect. It was not too chilly, nor was it too hot. It was oh so blue. Carolina Blue. It was a […]

Coffee Cake to test the mixer.

December 28, 2009

One of my favorite cook books of all time is Commander’s Kitchen by Ti Adelaide Martin and Chef Jamie Shannon. It is filled with some of the fabulous, unique recipes from the famed restaurant Commander’s Palace in New Orleans. It gives you a wonderful peek into the rich history and diverse life of N’awlins as […]

They get me :)

December 26, 2009

Let me just say, if you have not read some of my earlier posts, that I love my three guys more than lazy Sundays, coffee, expensive cheese, artisan bread, nature or Irish breezes. I love all of those things with a near obsessive quality, but my three guys are my sun, moon and stars. That […]

Christmas Eve Wishes…

December 24, 2009

We just spent a wonderful night with family, eating pasta, seafood and watching the monkeys squirt each other with silly string and water (I wish that I could share the pictures, but I left the card out of the camera). It has been a great Christmas Eve, just the way it should be. Full of […]

Sharing Traditions

December 23, 2009

Traditions are what I look forward to most during the holidays. Whether it is Christmas, Hanukkah or Kwanzaa, our traditions are what make the holidays indelible and everlasting. Everything that was passed down from our grandparents that we now teach our children, is a part of us and our various cultural backgrounds. I also adore […]

Christmas Past…

December 22, 2009

I thought that I would share some words and images of Christmas’ long past. Something light and easy tonight for you to just peruse while you take a break from all of your holiday preparations. An Old Christmas Greeting Sing Hey! Sing Hey! For Christmas Day Twine mistletoe and holly For friendship glows In winter […]

Buckeyes’ and Yeti balls for the holidays.

December 20, 2009

Yippee!! I am pretty much done with my shopping. After all of my running around today and attending a very nice Christmas open house, I was still able to finish these desserts today. In the south we just love Buckeyes for the holidays. If you are not sure what Buckeyes are I will explain. Buckeyes’ […]
