Today, I have a cold and a sore throat. I have big plans to spend most of the day curled up with a book under the covers. But, this weekend I’ll be ready to get out and enjoy the day.
Rain or shine.
Though, I’m hoping […]

Wandering around the back yard, I wanted to grab a few quick shots of my new peach blossoms. They were beautiful. Again. Every year the sight of these blossoms has made the effort of these peach trees worthwhile… even though we’ve only been able to enjoy a couple handfuls of […]
My favorite lunch of the week… One White Oak Pastures egg makes this simple dish something special. Rich, savory, spicy rice blended with plenty of vegetables, that’s a rice dish I want to eat. Emphasis on rich, this could be slimmed down a bit by substituting low fat […]
Chocolate Snack Cake With Dark Chocolate Ganache Double chocolate-y glossy goodness… This chocolate snack cake is tender, but quite dense. It’s a bit of a cross between a dense cake and a cake-y brownie. With a rich cake like this, a small square or wedge works […]

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 […]
For me and my honey, the key to a perfect grilled cheese sandwich is a scant amount of butter on the griddle. So little, in fact that the bread appears to simply be toasted on the griddle. And, we like to toast the bread to a deep golden brown. The […]
Who has time to mess around in the kitchen first thing in the morning? I don’t. That’s for sure. So, the best weekday breakfast is a quick and easy breakfast. This fits the bill. And, it’s so satisfying and delicious it feels like a treat. The only way to make […] |
