If this guy wasn’t so skinny, I’d say that this was me. But I’m NOT skinny. And I am late today. Late with everything. It’s been one of those Mondays. Any Monday that’s the first day of the month is always bad, but to have it hit you after a […]

With as many pumpkin recipes as I’ve seen floating through the blogosphere this past month, I do not know HOW Thanksgiving snuck up on me. I get so wrapped up in work, and blogging and that damn Facebook that I lose all track of what day it is. I can’t believe it’s here […]

My new favorite toy lately has got to be my mini muffin pan. I did not own one up until a couple of months ago and I swear, I have gone “mini crazy”. I don’t know how I ever lived without one. It’s like the greatest invention ever all of a sudden. […]

Hi there!

How to Season a Cast Iron Skillet
There have been several questions raised on this site lately that I think I’ll address today. . .as best as I can. They are mostly from people unfamiliar with U.S. Southern culture. It is definitely its own entity. We have certain foods that we live and […]
