Our Fourth of July may have been rained out, but I pressed on with trying a new recipe to go with our brats... and it was a fresh summertime winner that's only fueled my desire for a kitchen garden. :) I spotted this recipe in my June issue of BHG and dog-earred the page to try it out. So glad I did and now you can, too. This was simple to prepare and soooo tasty! Sorry for the bright light in the photos -- it was, of course, … [Read more...]

Ours looks like a wash out for outdoor fun, so we'll be having dinner with friends indoors later on... That's okay, though... we'll still be thanking God for our blessings and our troops for protecting our freedoms. Hope you have a safe and blessed Fourth! … [Read more...]

I'm having a hard time believing we're in July now! My summer is flying by... and I really want it to just sllllooooowwww down a bit!

Happy Friday, everyone! I can't believe we're already wrapping up June... *sigh*... why do the summer weeks seem to fly by the fastest?

Y'all I am scattered, smothered, and covered. Maybe it's all the short trips out of town on the heels of a crazy month of May. Maybe it's just summertime with a houseful. Maybe I just can't get my act together. When I sat down to write a post for y'all, my brain was all over the place. So I decided to take you down the rabbit hole of my thoughts... 1. I want a vegetable garden. Not sure I want all the work that comes with one, … [Read more...]

Happy Friday, friends! I've had a good week and it's finally starting to feel like summer... I even slept until 9 a.m. one morning -- total decadence, people. :) So today I'm sharing some "happies" -- just because. Monday night, my daughter and two friends of ours went to a book launch party for one of my favorite local authors, Mary Kay Andrews, and her new book Ladies Night! What a great party in a newly opened antique mall (!) where we … [Read more...]

Plus, with blueberries at the height of their season, this is an economical crowd pleaser to whip up for your next gathering. Try it with chips or as a garnish for fresh fish off the grill.
