Sugar Cookies
Making sugar cookies with my girls is one of my favorite activities. As small children and even today the three of us has so much fun baking and decorating the cookies. I gave up perfection for quality time spent and memories made with Haly and Lily. That is what is important to me and I hope you too.
Vieux Carre
Two Southern states crash together for one tasty cocktail.
When you combine the tart and oh so tangy flavor of a Texas grapefruit with the vanilla and oak flavor of Kentucky bourbon, you have big flavor that deserves its name.
Pecan Caramel Cake
Every morning after I grab my cup of coffee I head to my office to tackle the days emails and to update my to do list. this particular morning I was brought to tears when I opened an email from my cousin Beth. She sent me images of two recipes in my Southern Grandmothers handwriting that she found. My memory was flooded with my summers spent in her kitchen making everything from biscuits, chocolate chip cookies and pitchers of sweet tea.

Roasted Brussel Sprouts
My first introduction to one of the most polarizing foods was my Mom’s recipe. Open up a back of frozen sprouts, pour into a pan of boiling water, with butter, salt and pepper.
Years ago, we enjoyed dinner at Boca Restaurant in Cincinnati OH. Known for their Brussels Sprouts, we ordered these decadent delights and I never ever made sprouts the same again.
