Two years before The Husband and I left North Carolina I met a woman who has become a great friend. Some of my favorite memories of North Carolina are of our weekly Tuesday night dinner dates to cook a nice meal and share a bottle (or two) of wine while we, along with our husbands watched American [...]

It’s Barefoot time again! This week’s pick is from the lovely Anne of Anne Strawberry.
The Husband actually likes goat cheese but like a mean wife, I deny him the opportunity to eat it in our house. I’m not really being mean… I’m being safe. For some reason I have an insane allergy to [...]
When I was a child I was terrified of thunderstorms. The first sight of rain would prompt me to search the house frantically until I found The Brother then proceed to cry and shake with worry. The Brother and I would cower in his bedroom under the blanket shivering with fear.

Today is officially the first day of spring. Although spring is not my favorite season of the year (I tend to be biased… I love autumn), spring brings hope of renewal, new life, and fresh beginnings.

For every problem life sends,
A faithful friend to share,
For every sigh, a sweet song,
And an answer for each prayer.

I don’t know what it is about this dinner that excites The Husband so much. It’s the simplest thing in the world to make. Since it’s also an Irish dish, I thought I’d include it as my final St. Patty’s Day blowout here. Honestly, I just love the man and wanted to make [...]
A few months ago I saw a book flash over Kristen’s bookshelf called Eat Cake. I don’t know what it was about the book that drew me in, but I immediately put it on my Amazon list to purchase. Finally, I bought it a few weeks ago and tore through it.
