Bringing sexy back: A guide to creating tasty dishes out of leftovers

September 27, 2016

Ok, so this post doesn't have anything to do with Justin Timberlake's song or involve scantily clad, gyrating dancers, but it does have to do with bringing the sexy back... to leftovers. Many times, after a long day, the dreaded question arises: What's for dinner? At this point, I usually open up my fridge and stare mindlessly inside, hoping for divine inspiration or Julia Child to appear inside the veggie drawer with detailed instructions on how to make pate out of sandwich meat.

For the love of Grits: A Southern girl's lament

April 26, 2016

Any southerner worth her grits knows that the U.S is firmly and epicurean-ly divided by the North-South, Mason-Dixon line. A long and winding border-line, carved with the tears of displaced Southerners over the scarcity of this staple. Before you go and defile this treasured dish by suggesting that it's the same as polenta, I'll save you the inevitable shame of this comparison by telling you: it's not!

Moroccan Style Shepherds Pie: A tasty twist to a classic dish

March 14, 2016

In honor of National Pi day I've decided to share my own favourite savory pie: Shepherds Pie! It's one of my favourite dishes to make when I'm feeling the need for something hearty, filling and rustic. I've made this dish with an array of different ingredients and flavors: from the traditional to the exotic.

3 ways to make eggs 'fancy': my go to tips for egg-y goodness!

March 3, 2016

They say that 'necessity is the mother of invention', and I'd like to change that, to 'an empty fridge is the mother of new dishes'! How many times have you opened your fridge to find that all you had were some leftover herbs, a nub of cheese, a half-empty milk container and one or two eggs? If you are the feast and famine type of grocery shopper that I am, you probably find yourself staring down that refrigerator abyss quite often!

Tarte aux Framboises: A French dessert for a Southern girl

December 3, 2015

Growing up in the South I never lacked for good food and spent my childhood being surrounded by talented cooks and bakers. My grandmothers (all of them) were talented in the kitchen--one did private catering, another owned a restaurant and the third just made delicious things. Visits to southern Georgia always included a stop at my Grandma Sarah's home.

An unlikely place of beauty: an ode to the onion.

November 18, 2015

This to me is as much an ode to the onion as it is to appreciating the small things and the innate beauty that all things have. There are movements inspired by slowing down and appreciating the small things, most refer to that movement as Slow Living or Quiet Living. There are beautiful blogs and magazines like Kinfolk or A Quiet Style that are dedicated to the concept, but besides reading those blogs I'm not exactly a strict adherent.

🌊The Pacific. Such a beautiful place. The ocean reminds me of the awesomeness of creation and the tides of life that draw us in and push us out and the strength it takes to stand firm or maybe like the sand, to let it carry us out just a little. 🌊———————————————————————————————————————————————— #wordoftheday #wordsofencouragement #creativehappylife #beencouraged #liftyourselfup #trapping_tones #ig_masterpiece #ig_podium #agameoftones #localcollective #montrealartist #interiordesign #flatlayoftheday #flatlaytoday #flatlaylove #creativehappylife #fromwhereistand #womenwhohustle #shecreates #gameoftones #coffeelife #createdtocreate #quietthechaos #lookslikefilm #sheexplores #wisdomoftheday #oceansrise #sky_sea_sunset
