Sweet & Savory Carrot Salad

Pimento Cheese — Super Bowl 2016

Seriously, this was the best pimento cheese I’ve ever made. It’s all about finding the best cheddar. Or, more accurately, it’s about finding the cheddar that you consider to taste the best… to you. For us, the 5 year organic sharp white cheddar (From Your Dekalb Farmers Market) was the […]

Camille’s Cocktail

We wanted to watch dusky dawn break into a bright new day. But, that happens before 7am and we’re just not early risers. So, we couldn’t make that happen. We were still tucked into a downy bed nibbling on pieces […]

Maple Leaf Sundae
