Don’t forget, today is the last day to enter the BBQ giveaway contest. The picture does not do this soup justice. I had found that soup is just a great standby, even once the chill thaws a bit. I kept seeing recipes for tortilla soup and finally decided to give it a try. I have…
I found the tastiest new vinaigrette to share with you. Cooking for my blog has added a few more pounds I really did not need. A few photographs made me rethink what I am serving up. I decided to put my cooking skills to good use and mix up some healthier and lighter meals. You…
Happy Easter! I am looking forward to a day with family and filled with Easter egg hunts. One night last week I could not sleep. After tossing and turning around 5 am I gave in and got up. Down in the kitchen making coffee I decided to make these cookies as a gift to my…
There are a lot of mint chocolate chip ice cream lovers. I was getting hungry reading all of the comments. Brooke was the winner of the Ice Cream Pack. I will say I never heard of her favorite, Red Bean Ice Cream. If there was a prize for most original she would have won for…
With spring comes the desire to eat healthier and maybe for some, eat a bit less. Combining those desires with the urge to save on my lunches, I decided to make up a salad to bring for work this week. If you’re planning on taking this for lunch place the red onion in a baggie…

I had my first dinner party in my new place. I had forgotten how much I love to entertain. It is fun to actually have a table where I can have more than one friend over at a time. It was great to share my new home with my friends, who are always willing taste…
Growing up it was a family tradition on Saturday to go to Bullocks for lunch. It was quite the generational outing that included my mom, grandmother, great grandmothers and aunts. The event was usually for a birthday or special celebration. We would get there early and shop for a while. Then we would go into…
This week Anne of Anne Strawberry chose Tomato and Goat Cheese Tarts from Ina Garten’s Back to Basics. Halfway through making these I realized I had made these for a dinner party in December. Well, these were just as yummy the second time. I made them into little individual size tartlets, just like the first…
I love grapefruit, really any citrus fruit. I found this recipe for grapefruit cake and as I was reading the history it was “allegedly” from the Brown Derby in Hollywood. It has been gone for a long time but it was legendary in its day. The grapefruit and the restaurant capture the essence of Southern…
I have been cooking up a storm and am excited to share the new recipes with you. This weekend I made Banana Nut Bread. Three bananas were starting to ripen and calling out to be made. I looked at my cookbooks and saw Pastries from La Brea Bakery. The recipe was from created by one…
Today is my first official entry with the Barefoot Bloggers. I told you about them here. I don’t know that I have ever been disappointed by one of Ina Garten’s recipe so it will be fun to cook through her books with fellow Barefoot Bloggers. The Brownie Pudding is a cross between brownies and lava…
