This is a recipe that I have memorized and have made countless times. It’s a family heirloom. The family jewels. It was recently entered in a county fair by my Aunt Rosemary and won 1st place. Which makes it award-winning fudge as well. I give it to you as a token of [...]

I never intended to make superhero cookies. But after I dipped my lovely shortbread wonders into the chocolate coating, they looked EX.ACT.LY like the hulk. It took me back to 1977, the year of my first perm and my first pair of Trax, when my brother would let me tag along with him [...]

I’m making blueberry coffee cake this morning. Number one, because I came home to a nearly full container of slightly shriveled blueberries. And number two, because baking is like therapy for me. And tomorrow my old house will no longer be mine. And today, I have get everything last little thing [...]

Now that I’m the proud owner of the most wonderful stove in the world, I fear this may become a food blog. Meet Beatty’s Chocolate Cake (courtesy of Ina Garten) which I made for Father’s Day! It’s wonderfully moist with a bit of a mocha flair although not to be confused with mocha cake proper. [...]

and I like cowboy boots, C.S. Lewis, good food, strong coffee, banjo music and books. I am a deeply flawed momma of 4 and grateful receiver of more good gifts than one heart can hold. I fight for joy and find it in the most unexpected places. I make quirky look normal, relish in my small town Southern way of living, and am learning that it's all grace--every last bit of it.
