You literally can't mess them up....well, I guess you could, but it would be really hard to! They are almost no-fail and just so yummy! With our busy schedule I like to make … Continue reading Verde Spicy Chicken Thighs

Do I Really Have to Give Up My Baby Boy?
It's funny... when you start planning your family you always have different views and plans then when the family is actually here and going full force. We planned on having two...just two.

How This Northern Bred Girl Will Forever Have the South in Her Heart
I firmly believe, in my opinion, we still live in somewhat of a "state" of civil war in this country. Whether you look at it politically or from a personal point of view it still exists. Thankfully not for the same reasons from history but I can firmly attest to this seeing how I have lived in … Continue reading How This Northern Bred Girl Will Forever Have the South in Her Heart

Rustic Glazed Carrots
I LOVE carrots... any way shape or form. I love them roasted, in soups, and even just fresh. They are the epitome of "earthy". So I rarely peel them. I buy organic carrots, wash them thoroughly and leave the skin on. I feel it makes them even better. So when we were forced to follow restricted diets … Continue reading Rustic Glazed Carrots
