Broccoli Salad
Broccoli is one of those vegetables you can find year round. (It is important to use fresh broccoli for this recipe, the frozen stuff just doesn’t work). This a great side or snack year round. It is also considerably cheaper (and tastes better) to make it yourself. In my local grocery this stuff costs around $6 for a tiny little bowl. You can make a … Continue reading Broccoli Salad
What Foodies Don’t Share on Social Media
I really like finding inspiration for new recipes on social media. The beautiful pictures of perfectly prepared dishes on Pinterest and Instagram make my mouth water. I’m sure you’ve seen some picture of a gorgeous seven layer cake that made you just want to lick the screen. I spend a lot of time staging photos for blog posts. Picking the plates, arranging the the shots, … Continue reading What Foodies Don’t Share on Social Media

Missing South Carolina Fried Okra
I love visiting Charleston, SC (and my friends in Goose Creek). The wonderful company, great weather and beautiful ocean views are hard to beat. And the food! Low country comfort food, fresh seafood and some mighty fine “Q” are abundant. When I’m really missing it all I whip up a batch of fried okra, close my eyes and imagine I’m back for just a moment. … Continue reading Missing South Carolina Fried Okra
A Tale of two strawberry pies
Grandma’s Recipe Box Series. For more about grandma’s recipes read my post here. (Disclosure: I work for the J.M. Smucker Company, which owned Crisco, but sold the brand in 2019. They don’t pay me to talk about it, I just believe it makes a superior crust from personal experience. All thoughts and opinions are my own.) My grandmother made a great strawberry pie, and I’ll share … Continue reading A Tale of two strawberry pies

This is my personal blog and I received no compensation from any brands mentioned on this post. Updated 11/23/18 – This was one of my first blog posts and … Continue reading My Take on Amish Bread
