Make sure your table is set not only with fabulous food this Easter, but also lots of bright pastels, cheery spring blossoms, and of course, a bunny or two. I’ve never been one to shy from patterns, especially on my table. The key to mixing patterns is color, color, color. Make sure they are complimentary in…Continue Reading “Setting the Table: Easter Entertaining”
Now that the threat of cold weather has slipped on by, at least in Alabama, it’s now time to get out and plant some containers. Container gardening is a fabulous way to maximize space and also add color, texture, and nature to decks, porches, and courtyards. Speaking of courtyards, I am smack-dab in the middle,…Continue Reading “Container Gardening”
Who doesn’t love a good checklist? Especially when it concerns tasks that can be somewhat overwhelming. Like traveling to the nursery to shop for plants. This may be very simple for some; but to me, it’s quite the experience. I see all of these bright, beautiful little babies staring right at me, and I just…Continue Reading “Spring Planting Checklist”
Let me begin by saying that any holiday that promotes tequila drinking and incredibly lively music is something I totally embrace. Cinco de Mayo is most certainly that day.

I cook with sweet potatoes all the time. I love them just about any way you can throw them at me. Baked sweet potatoes are a superfood side dish that compliments any meal, but sometimes just gets tossed to the side. Why not make it the star by stuffing it with a satisfying mix of…Continue Reading “Stuffed Sweet Potatoes”
Is it just me or does it seem like bananas ripen overnight? The only solution to this problem is to use those extra ripe bananas and make some banana bread. This recipe is a twist on the classic and skips the nuts altogether. Nothing against nuts, but the bold, spicy flavor of rum is just…Continue Reading “Banana Rum Bread”
A boring dessert is for the birds. For your next Spring party, create a mini butterscotch birds nest, laden with delicate cake eggs that are chocolate covered in just the right shade of Robin’s Egg Blue. Since most of the components are pre-packaged, whipping them up is a cinch. Which leaves plenty of time for…Continue Reading “Butterscotch Bird’s Nest”
