One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
The Chinese New Year is less than a week away, what do you have planned? If the answer was nothing I am ashamed (just kidding), but also happy because I have planned your evening for you! It is an evening in the kitchen with these cuties. I had feared making steamed dumplings because I don’t…
On Saturday Kara, Allegra, and I hosted a baby shower for our friend Melissa! I was in my element—I LOVE to host and plan. I get so excited to make all the list; shopping list, mapping out the day by day plan, and hour by hour plan for the morning of the party! I made…
On my way over to my sister’s house to watch the MSU football game on Saturday I decided we needed to make some good football apps. I decided to call my brother-in-law John instead of Kara because he’ll have better suggestions and by better I mean more delicious. We decide on wings and nachos and…
I recently had a ladies night which had a fall theme and it was awesome! Over the past couple of years I’ve loved hosting tailgate brunches, St. Patty’s Day dinners or brunch, and Thanksgiving dinner. From all of these I’ve come up with the fool proof way to through the best party. Here is how…
My sister and brother-in-law had the hallowest of Halloween parties this past weekend. My sister’s and my mom is a pretty theatrical lady and raised us to dress up for all holidays. Not just green and red for Christmas but pilgrim outfits for the day before Thanksgiving and carrying our lunches in baskets or going…
Hope everyone had a fabulous Easter! We had a great Easter brunch filled with Easter borscht, crostini’s, baked eggs, asparagus and of course hard boiled eggs (you can see my classic rainbow one below). Oh and how could I forget, after all that brunch we had smoked ribs, brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. I made…
I can officially say that I am a columnist at The Island Eye News! It is a bi-weekly, or published twice a month, publication that is sent out to some of the islands in the Charleston area. My column is called Lowcountry Bites and each week has a write up and recipe. My first story…
What was I doing this time last year? Eating pão de queijo that’s what. I was in Brazil enjoying being a graduate and living the traveling dream. Now a year later I am left to making them from a box mix ordered off of Amazon, at least it was a gift (Thank you Kyle Herionimus). …
Hope everyone had a awesome Cinco de Mayo and one too many margaritas! Heres a recipe for the best tortilla chips ever! Super simple and they are so much better than store bought tortilla chips. Simple cut corn tortillas into quarters, spray with Pam olive oil then salt them and bake at 350. Cook first…
Farmers market season is in full bloom. I’ve been to a few farmers markets before but apparently not the cool ones because I have never seen zucchini blossoms for sale until last week. It was like Christmas morning when I saw them. After I bought them I was so overwhelmed with planning the meal that…
