I don’t know if I’ve mentioned this before but I’m a bit of a perfectionist. I don’t think something is worth doing unless it is done exactly right. This causes a lot of stress in my life at times. I’m working on it. But in the meantime, I found a way to make uniformly sized

Burnt Sugar Almonds
Have you ever had those expensive sugary, cinnamony almonds from the mall or at sporting events? You know the ones I’m talking about, the ones you can smell from a mile away that instantaneously make your mouth start to water. Oh yeah, these are those! They are amazing and super easy to prepare.

Dill Cucumbers
We have some friends that are growing lots of yummy veggies and they just happened to have an excess of cucumbers and I was one of the lucky recipients of the overflow!

Classic Southern Desserts Series: Browned Butter-Pecan Shortbread
I think I may have died and gone to heaven….and I didn’t even follow the recipe. After hours of cooking and cleaning, I finally got around to making these cookies. I had browned the butter hours earlier and I had to get these going. My mom was coming to visit so I was rushing through trying to
DIY Chalkboard Herb Pots
I know this is not my usual post but I figured since it’s food related and really fun that I would share it with you all. I don’t have a green thumb. I forget about my plants and they die a dry, crunchy death. After watching too many food documentaries (Food Inc., Ingredients…) I decided
