I've always enjoyed cooking (and eating) the Easter meal. As a Christian, Easter is a day of celebration and I think good food is just necessary! 🙂 When I was growing up, my mom always made a delicious coconut cake that looked like an Easter basket. We usually had company for Easter Sunday, and my… Continue reading Easter Sunday Menu {Menu Monday}

1// Monday afternoon we met my parents at Biltmore - it was so fun to spend the day with them in one of my favorite cities! I love Asheville, North Carolina, and the Biltmore is a definite must-see for anyone living in the Southeast. We had a delicious lunch at one of the restaurants on… Continue reading 5 Things on Friday {3.18.16}
How I Prepare My Heart For Easter
During December the question is often asked, "Are you ready for Christmas?" It's a good question because there is a lot to do before Christmas comes - treats to bake, decorations to put up and presents to buy and wrap. Nobody ever asks, "Are you ready for Easter?" It's not as "big" of a holiday… Continue reading How I Prepare My Heart For Easter
Kentucky Derby Pie
I'm the farthest thing from a math whiz, but I do know that today is 3/14 and that means it's Pi(e) Day! I'll do a little math if it gives me an excuse to eat pie. My favorite pie (and one of my all time favorite desserts) is Kentucky Derby Pie. The rich, chocolatey sweetness… Continue reading Kentucky Derby Pie

1// During date night this week, we took the Chick Fil A Family Challenge. Basically, you put all your cell phones in a closed box that sits on your table. If you don't open the box for the duration of your meal, everyone gets a free IceDream! I really wanted to Instagram it...but yeah... It was… Continue reading 5 Things on Friday {3.11.16}
Three Things You Should Not Say To A Newlywed
There are many instances where the phrase, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all" is appropriate - and it is especially so when speaking to someone who is engaged or who is a newlywed. I am constantly amazed (and horrified) at the negative and inappropriate things people say! I… Continue reading Three Things You Should Not Say To A Newlywed
Lunch Solutions {Menu Monday}
The other day someone complained to me that she dreaded going home from work to a house full of hungry people. "I never know what I'm going to make, and then it takes forever to get something on the table." I suggested that she try planning a weekly menu but was told that was too much… Continue reading Lunch Solutions {Menu Monday}

1// Girl Scout Cookies are here! Paul and I are major Thin Mint lovers...a couple years ago we ordered TWO CASES so we'd have enough to last us well past the spring. This year I picked up our standard order of five Thin Mints and one box of Peanut Butter Patties...as you can see, I… Continue reading 5 Things on Friday {3.4.16}
Pattern Mixing in the Dining Room
I try to always set a pretty table for our Sunday lunch, even if it isn't as fancy as something I would put together for a holiday meal. Last weekend I picked up some fun place mats on clearance at Target, and they inspired me to pull together this colorful table setting for our lunch… Continue reading Pattern Mixing in the Dining Room
February’s New Recipes
I tried two new recipes in February and they were both keepers! I saw a package of Sausage Tortellini in the freezer case at Aldi and knew it would be great for a weeknight meal. The recipe I found on Pinterest for Twenty Minute Easy Tortellini Bake was exactly what I wanted - quick and simple… Continue reading February’s New Recipes
