Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins

Hello sweet friends!  Are you enjoying your Fall so far?  On my last post I mentioned that it was finally getting chilly here in the South, well that is no longer the case!  I think Mother Nature is being very tricky this year!  We have actually been breaking records here in Chattanooga this last week.  It was 85 yesterday, a new hottest November day on record for us!  I  have to admit that I find

Cauliflower Cheese Soup

It is finally starting to get a little chilly here in the South and I couldn't be happier about it!  The second it begins to cool off, I start craving soup!  I guess I am not the only one, because I was invited to a little 'Recipe Night' gathering last week where the theme was soups!  All of the soups were wonderful, but I think my favorite was a cauliflower cheese soup.  I couldn't wait to make

Massaged Kale Salad

My dear friend Celeste took me to lunch for my birthday to this little place in downtown Chattanooga because she really wanted me to try their Massaged Kale Salad that she loved.  I have to admit, that although Kale is a super food and I want to like it, I am not a huge fan, and the thought of a massaged salad sounded strange.  Little did I know what a HUGE treat I was in for!  Since that day last

Applesauce Snickerdoodle Muffins

Well hello!  How is your week going so far?  Last week was fall break for us and we were on vacation in Florida.  It was wonderful and we are all dragging our feet just a little, to get back into the swing of things again at home.  And this week could not be busier with the start of my younger boys football playoffs and the start of the school soccer team's season for my older son!  I can already

Sweet and Spicy Spinach Salad with Maple Cider Vinaigrette

Here in the South we are slowly moving into Autumn, but I feel like Mother Nature is taking her sweet time with this season change!  The leaves are just starting to turn, but it is still warm enough to swim in our pool.  Well, maybe not for me ( I am a wimp), but my boys are still enjoying an after school dip.    Last week I had some friends over to swim and served this Autumn

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
