We take our trash to a county dump because we’re cool like that. Or because we live in the country, and that’s just how trash works here. Either way, we always see some stuff at the side of the dump that was pulled out by the guys who manage the dump. It’s stuff (usually furniture)…
Chicken Andouille Stir-Fry with Orange Jalapeno Glaze
This dish is for reals. Last night, I dove into one of my newest cookbooks–Tupelo Honey Cafe: Spirited Recipes from Asheville’s New South Kitchen. Scott and I have eaten some of the most delicious pancakes of my life at the Tupelo Honey Cafe. As it turns out, they also know how to make delicious non-brunch…
Frozen Yogurt: Where Have You Been All My Life?

Small Gardening Goal
It has been just gorgeous around here this week. I’m talking 78 degrees in the afternoon, sunshine, cool mornings and evenings. I can’t imagine a better spring week for stay-at-home-moming. What I’ve discovered in this gorgeous weather is that having a baby has suddenly given me the desire to garden. What?! It’s weird. Something about the…
