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 […]

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 […]

Chicken Pot Pie has a way of filling up the home with warm greetings. It’s the guest that was ever grateful you invited it. The one you never want to leave. This recipe is magical. Like walking into another land. Where the scenery is warmth and safe, all introduced by the aroma of deep green […]
