The very first thing that I ever learned how to bake was brownies. I remember one of us always was begging to make a batch at some point over the course of the weekend. It was so easy that we were able to do all the baking ourselves, minus the oven part. My younger sister, …
Georgia is famous for its peaches, and perhaps one of the state’s most famous recipes is peach cobbler. Making peach cobbler from scratch is really the best way to enjoy the dish, and besides, it’s super easy to make and absolutely heavenly to eat. We don’t need to special order peaches from Georgia in order …
This recipe has been on my “to-do” list every Fall for the past two years, I swear…and now I have finally gotten around to making it! Ever since I tried Giada’s Butternut Squash Tortellini with Brown Butter Sauce, (which was TO-DIE-FOR) I knew I had to try her lasagna. My Husband is not a big fan …
It is a little morbid to think about, but if you had to decide right now, what would be your very last meal on Earth? As Blair and I drove to the Shake Shack a few weekends ago, I claimed mine would definitely be a cheeseburger and milkshake. This week I decided that yes that …

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is less than 10 days away? It seems like it was just Labor Day, and now before we know it we’ll be opening Christmas presents and making New Year’s resolutions. This past year seemed to just fly by! If you’re hosting Thanksgiving this year, I’m sure you are well under way …
I am so not a morning person. I wish I was. I envy people who can get up at the crack of dawn, run 5 miles, fold a few loads of laundry, clear their e-mail inbox and make a gourmet breakfast for their family – all before 7 am. For me, I carefully calculate exactly …
Hard to believe that we close on our new house in just about 2 weeks. It seemed like forever away when we set our closing date, and now it seems I’m scrambling packing boxes, picking out paint colors, and arranging for our new appliances to be delivered. Even though we’re only moving about 10 miles …
Peanut butter blossoms are a Christmas classic. They were always a Christmas tradition in my house growing up, and my sister and I were always given the task of unwrapping all the kisses.
