I had every intention of busting out my next refashion for my Wardrobe Revamp and Refashion this past weekend.  Unfortunately I didn’t count on a being held hostage in my bed by fever, chills, body aches and a cough.  Boo.  At first I thought it was the […]
When I was still living at home, my mammaw would make a big pot of beef stew with a pan of cornbread. As the day went on, family members would pile in and eat; this was typical in our house. This meal is a Southern […]

This pie begins in a total fail. It ends in triumph. I forgot to put the sweet potato into this sweet potato pie. I had prepared the sweet potatoes the day before I baked the pie. I was thinking ahead and using my time wisely. […]
Okay. Maybe there are only nine, but who cares. It’s porridge we’re talking about—sweet, creamy, fluffy porridge which feels like a hug in a bowl. Oatmeal might be too simple of a meal for some, but I LOVE it. I enjoy few things more and […]
These rice cakes may be a simple looking confection, but they lack in bakery (think curbside) appeal is more than made up in flavor. And they could not be easier to make. Many thanks to Spain for bringing us this excellent little cake. There are […]
