Vegetables Galore!

I’ve been on hiatus from the blog for the past two months. I know what you are thinking, how hard can it be to post a recipe and a couple of photographs once a month?  What can I say, I’m lazy.  Seriously though, once May hits, life turns into a chaotic mix of school functions [...]

Cookies & Chicken Feet

Again, I have neglected my blog. I’m a bad, bad Mama. I think I have a good excuse though. I am taking a photography class at The Light Factory in Charlotte and I’m having a big, big time. I have high hopes of improving my skills.
This past weekend we had our 2nd Charlotte Chowdown. It [...]

A Sunny Birthday

It’s my birthday today! The sun is shining and I couldn’t be happier. We have had many rainy days lately and it was beginning to wear on me. Reminding me of the long winters in Pennsylvania that I have never missed. Not today, however, because Mister Sun is high in the sky and Meyer lemons [...]

Portugal: Part III – All Hail The Pig!

 
“Bring on the Pig!”  Get to the pig already!”  “Quit teasing!”  I think I’ve heard it all from friends and family.  I’ve dragged my feet for far too long and I am eternally sorry.  Please, forgive me.  If I haven’t previously mentioned, October is the craziest month for our family.  Two kids’ birthdays, our wedding [...]

Portugal – Part II: Food Exploration

 
The next day, day two, the men had meetings all day so my new friend Elsie and I had agreed to meet early for breakfast and then head out for a site-seeing extravaganza.  Early probably wasn’t the smartest choice for me, what with all the wine and the jet lag, but I got it together [...]

Portugal – Part I: Our First Night

 I’m back safe and sound.  I’ve been home about a week and a half now and I’ve been dragging my feet on posting.  Not because I don’t want to share all the glorious food details with you, but because I have so much to share that I just don’t know where to begin.  I took [...]

Carolina Panthers & I Were Rollin’ Big

A couple of weeks ago Kevin and I were hanging around doing a little bit of nothing, which is a rarity around here.  Kevin got a call and was offered a couple of tickets to the Carolina Panthers pre-season game against the Washington Redskins.  “Wanna go?” he asked.  I really did.  I don’t follow football [...]

Mama Potpourri

I have a slew of things that I have wanted to tell y’all about.  Little tid bits of information, recipes, a review, etc., and I just wasn’t sure if I should update the previous posts, write a new post or what.  I decided to combine it all under one new post and hopefully when I’m through, I’ll have made sense.  Here [...]

Beach Trip #2 – Hilton Head Island Eats

I know I’ve been neglectful of the blog, so sorry I haven’t posted in a few weeks.  This time of year is brutal at our house what with end-of-summer beach trips, soccer season gearing back up (actually it never ended) and the kids getting back to school.  Is it nap time yet?
Hurricane Fay was a [...]

Finger-Lickin’ WOW!

 
I spent this past weekend in Statesville, NC sitting under a canopy/tent on a soccer field for hours and hours and hours.  It was 95 degrees and you couldn’t fly a post-it note, let alone a kite the air was so still.  What I’m trying to say is it was hotter than hell, people.  Really.  [...]
