A long time ago on a blog, far, far, away…. It was a dark time for the the dinner table. No one knew the Dry Pot Roast had been destroyed, “Cool People” had driven all pot roasts from their kitchens deeming them to only be fit for their mothers’ slow-cooker. Determined to usher in a new era for…

Corn & Bacon Muffins
Corn? Again? Yup but this time is has some bacon and honey tossed into it. You can never go wrong with bacon, it is loved by all! I was recently asked to make some cupcakes for a 1 year old’s birthday and in the process of researching what cupcakes I was going to make I…
Canoas de Platanos Maduros (Sweet Plantain Canoes)
Guess what? I had a canoe for dinner last night! This is when you say in your head, “What? She had a canoe for dinner last night?” and I say, “Why yes! Yes I did!” It’s not the kind of canoe your thinking of. You cannot sit in this canoe and float in the water….
Sour Cream Corn Pancakes
I am not a lover of pancakes, except for The Pioneer Woman’s Sour Cream Pancakes. I don’t hate them, I just don’t love them. I don’t know what it is, I find that most pancakes are too heavy in the morning and if given the choice between pancakes and french toast, french toast will win…
Tomato & Butter Sauce
Things around here got a little crazy for a bit with crazy margins, dropping sidebars and font so light in color it might as well have been invisible. Thanks for putting up with me and my crazyness, you guys rock the house. *Doing crazy 80’s rock hand gesture while teasing hair and gassing myself with…
Apple Graham Crisp
About a week ago I got the idea to make an apple crisp with a graham cracker crumble crust. You really can’t go wrong, bubbly apples and crispy sweet graham cracker topping. The only problem that I ran into was that the topping was browning way before the apple filling had set. The first time…
DIY Stone Sconces
This is a super easy project that anyone can do on the super cheap. I wanted some nice sconces for my guest bath downstairs. I looked high and low and couldn’t find anything I wanted and the ones I did like were about $20 a piece….story of my life. I couldn’t bring myself to spend…
Awesome Figgy Sandwich
Earlier in the week when I was at Whole Food on the hunt for some green tomatoes I stumbled upon some fresh figs. I was so excited I practically snatched them out of the hands of the stock boy and quickly followed up with a happy dance. Both Obed and the stock boy looked at…
Fried Green Tomatoes
Many of you don’t know this but when I was a Air Force brat my family was stationed in Warner Robins, GA. I spent most of my childhood in Georgia. Even though I spent many years in Georgia I have never been a big fan of southern food. Don’t get me wrong I appreciate it…
Shaved Zucchini Salad with Parmesan & Pine Nuts
It’s hot outside and after roasting a pork shoulder earlier this week at 1 million degrees, I felt like something with no heat required would be best. Not to mention, many of you have zucchini coming out your ears this time of the year. When Obed asked me what was for dinner yesterday and I told…
