I was out of town this past weekend and last week was super crazy so I've been out of the kitchen, so I thought I'd go ahead and share the fun attractions we visited in Vegas. We had such a great time and there is SO much to do in Vegas! When we arrived we headed to Mandalay Bay and visited the shark reef. It was a really good aquarium with a variety of exhibits, from sharks to jelly … Read More
I mentioned a few weeks ago on here that we were in Vegas for my 30th birthday. We had such a fabulous time! I'll tell you more about all that we did attraction wise soon, but I thought I would share with you all the delicious food we ate while we were there! We started out the trip with lunch at Burger Bar in Mandalay Bay. This is a Hubert Keller restaurant who has been on Top Chef … Read More
Are you loving all these fresh summer veggies and fruit this summer as much as I am?!? There's nothing quite like fresh food from local farms or gardens. I've been looking for some new ways to make them other than just roasting them or grilling them to mix it up a little, though they are delicious that way. I was wracking my brain yesterday and remembered this recipe I saw on Pinterest and … Read More
"Hey Baby, I think I wanna marry you!" So these cookies are so good that they are supposed bring about a marriage proposal. I'm already married, so I'm not sure about that, but maybe they will elicit a promotion or just bribe your significant other to buy you that designer wallet/purse, ring, clothes, etc. that you've been eyeing!;) These cookies also have a neat method that gives them a … Read More
So I've been putting off getting a donut pan as I thought it would take up too much room in my townhouse and limited cabinet space. But, my longing for donuts outweighed that skepticism about where I would put it and so I asked for one for my birthday. I'm so glad I did! The pan didn't take up much space and it was so fun to make my own donuts without having to worry about frying! This was … Read More
I was hoping to bring another recipe your way today, but I've been a tad under the weather this week and haven't gotten in the kitchen much. So I thought I would share with you some of the amazing food we had on our trip to St. John (check out our beach and resort pics here). The above picture is our gorgeous view each morning from breakfast. So every morning, I pretty much ate the same … Read More
I've had these on my list to make for quite a while now and I just now got around to making them. I'm so sad of all that time lost with this deliciousness by waiting this long to make it! With each bite, I seemed to keep saying "These are SO good!" They have such a deep flavor of sweet and savory that just makes the meat melt in your mouth. Combined with the bit of crunch and zest from the … Read More
Hope you all have had a great week! I can't believe it's the last day of June, and it's also my birthday today! I'm the big 3-0!!! I'm actually very excited to turn thirty and feel much more adjusted than I did in my early twenties. So excited for what God has in store for my thirties! We are actually in Vegas right now celebrating and I can't wait to share our trip with you when we get … Read More
So I've mentioned my mother-in-law on here several times and have made several of her recipes. Ya'll, she should have her own southern restaurant. She's such an amazing cook & baker and I've learned so much from her! I never even really realized you could have banana pudding from scratch until I had her's. I've always just had the kind with the store bought pudding and wafers, and it is … Read More
I came across this recipe a couple of years ago and hung onto it for a special occasion where I would make banana pudding from scratch. I kind of forgot about it until recently when I was thinking of some recipes that would be great for the Fourth of July. I immediately thought of my mother-in-law's banana pudding, which I'll be sharing with you later this week. I then, remembered this … Read More
