Bacon. Wrapped. Sweet. Potatoes. I should just stop writing and give you the recipe. But let me prove their worth. I have taken these things to no less than 4 holiday parties over the past two weeks. They never last. They always please. What more do we need? The best part is how simple they are. […]

Fall is officially here. As in last week we celebrated the first week of fall. Also as in, I practically went from sandals and tank tops to scarves and cute coats overnight. I quickly realized the err of my ways when we went to Charleston this past weekend for the Southern Living Taste of Charleston […]

Someone asked me this week why I love my 30s so much. I had a lot to say about that. But I think Ann Quindlen really said it, “Failure is so terrifying to the young. So is unpredictability. They’re afraid they’ll get it wrong. You have to use cookbooks for a long time before you realize that […]

Whew – this post. ALL THE RESEARCH went into this post. All the questions I wanted to know about why and how to make chicken broth is in here. I hope this becomes your one stop guide for broth. Ever since stepping into the kitchen and starting to learn a little bit more about cooking […]

I’m pretty sure I blinked and July found it acceptable to make her way out the door. Where did did you go July?! All of a sudden I’m turning 31 and seeing lots of FB posts about kids going back to school. It feels a little wild and a whole lot rushed. My time in […]

I don’t think it’s a secret that my idea of breakfast is a good, strong pour of heavy whipping cream melting into the darkest blend of freshly brewed coffee.

These homemade paleo chicken sausage patties are going to change your weekly routine. I want to talk to you about last Monday night’s dinner for a moment. It was a “grab what you want” free for all. I believe I had a cheese stick and some popcorn. Popcorn that I shared with the bear. Now, because […]

It’s Friday! Which only means one thing in the McKoy house, it’s pizza night. We don’t even try to pretend like we want to go out and see people. We want to stay in. Close our blinds. Get in our pjs (promptly at 5:01pm). And eat pizza. We always have the ingredients on hand for […]

Last weekend it was so cold in South Carolina. It even snowed in some parts of the state. Which really messed with this Colorado girl. I discovered a few things about me. One, at the first sighting of a chill I will pull out winter clothes like I’m preparing for negative degree temperatures.  Two, despite living in […]

Spring, it’s your time. Do your thing. You see, it’s been cold around here. I mean, it snowed. In South Carolina. Where it does not snow. So, I am all giddy and ready for spring to make her appearance. Jeremy on the other hand is wearing gloves and beanies and sweaters like cold weather is […]
