I am totally hooked on these grilled bone-in pork chops & asparagus. We have a friend who is a master at throwing spices together and coming out with a tasty dish each and every single time. The first time he fixed us grilled pork chops, I vowed to never fix them in the oven again.... Continue Reading →
I don't know about you but roasted Brussel sprouts are like Lays potato chips to me. You can't have just one. With that being said, I ate the ENTIRE pan. Dang it. Friends of ours own a restaurant in town called Colony Club. (Be sure to check them out on Facebook & Instagram). When I... Continue Reading →
My little brother turned 42 this weekend. Yesterday, we celebrated. When we built this home, I envisioned gatherings around the kitchen island and for the last 4 years, we have. My Dad always said ~ should've been bigger. We still laugh as he was always right. The kitchen is the heart of the home. We... Continue Reading →

Everything I need on this beautiful snowy day for Grandma's Banana Bread including her recipe and loaf pan. The main thing missing is ~ her.
I love this photo taken the other evening as I cooked dinner. So simple. So elegant.
Oreo Truffles - a favorite of my oldest niece. I mainly make them at Christmas time (or let's be honest - whenever she asks). Beautiful and sweet just like her. Here is all you need: 1 package of Oreos (I use the regular not double stuffed) 1 package of cream cheese (softened) 3 squares of... Continue Reading →
Decided to go to Columbus this morning to pick up a new planner. Who drives 2 hours for that? I do! And I had 3 months of my wine club from Cooper's Hawk waiting on me too! Max & Erma's for lunch - yum! A stop at American Girl of course! I hadn't... Continue Reading →
