Hello, my name is Christy. I am a mother of three girls, lover of photography, dobermans, cooking, and creating new recipes. Come take a peek into my crazy life.
Yesterday, we had a very quiet Memorial Day. We stayed home and listened to the rains come and go throughout the day. All weekend long, I couldn’t help but think of my dear friends and their family as they remember their brother who gave his life for this country last year. Up until last year, … More Heroes and Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream
A few weeks ago, I made panini sandwiches for supper. Each and every time I make these warm grilled wonders, we are taken back to our kitchen remodel years ago. We laughed about how we ate panini’s at least 3-4 times a week, sometimes more! We lived in a nearly 100-year-old house at the time … More Panini Sandwiches and The Kitchen Remodel
I’ve posted how I make homemade pizzas before, but since the weather is nicer out and most of us will be firing up our grills a lot more, I thought I’d share how I grill pizza. When it’s really hot out, it’s nice to not have to heat up your kitchen with the hot oven … More Fire up that grill! Grilled Pizza makes me smile!
I’ve made my share of meals that were not “Keepers” as I call them. They were edible and ok to eat, but not something that we all loved and wanted to eat again and again. These dishes don’t make it to the blog. I only want to share dishes that I really love and am … More Grilled Salmon with Goat Cheese on Toasted Baguette
Yesterday was Mother’s Day so I certainly hope there was no mother working hard in the kitchen preparing a big meal for her family, unless she truly wanted to. I love to cook, you know that – but this momma does NOT cook on Mother’s Day! I think it’s written somewhere on my babies’ birth … More Oven Roasted Chicken to round out a Sunday
A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to be a repeat guest blogger on rantingchef.com. This was the recipe I shared on the Ranting Chef blog and I don’t want anyone to miss out on this tasty recipe so I thought I’d share it today here on my blog. It’s very simple and quick … More Cheesy Pasta and Chorizo
Just in time! Cinco de Mayo is just one day away! I thought I would repost this little recipe for “fried” ice cream I shared a few months back. It’s so simple and is such a nice treat on Cinco De Mayo, or any day of the year! I’ll be making them to go … More More Please! Repost of We all scream for “fried” ice cream!
For today’s post, I thought I would share with you a little home project that my husband and I took on a few months ago. Actually, it’s been an ongoing project for a few years since we weren’t happy with our first result. A busy family of five needs some sort of desk or table … More The Office Situation
It’s May Day! Did you leave little secret gifts for your friends and neighbors? I still remember receiving an anonymous basket made out of orange construction paper filled with popcorn at our front door with a sweet little handwritten note that said Happy May Day. I think we heard our giggling neighbors running back across … More Happy May Day!
I came across another restaurant salad that is a new favorite! It’s the Savannah Chop Salad from McAlister’s Deli. As I oohed and ahhed over the salad as I was eating it, I was also trying to figure out how I could create this salad at home. The salad is the easy part, it’s the … More The Mae Salad
