I’m back! It’s a new day, fresh start, and a new food focus! Don’t worry, I’ll never abandon my love of Southern food and goodness. It’s just going to be a little bit adapted, going forward. Think of it as a way to keep myself and my husband focused on moving forward in a healthier…

Happy New Year to you and yours!
As the year comes to an end in a few hours, I find myself reflecting on 2017. Minus a couple of weeks, 2017 was amazing. My love and I became engaged in the most romantic way ever, work remained a rewarding and fun place to be, and my family is healthy and happy. Two weeks…
Happy Mother’s Day and Weathervane in Chapel Hill
I know that you all know how much I truly love my mother. The things she and I have been through the last two years have made us stronger than ever. She is indeed my best friend, confidant, and amazing beyond words. She is my rock and the reason I go out everyday and try…
Today’s the day…
It’s no April Fools joke…today’s the day the house was sold. It’s been a very emotional ride since Maw-Maw passed. Isn’t it always when someone you love dearly passes? I thought I’d share a few thoughts through photographs I’ve taken these past 15 months… This was the last time I looked through this window…

Happy Mother’s Day to all of the women in my life!

Maw-Maw died today…..
*Please forgive the rambling nature. This post is pure and unproofed. I held her cold hand for a while today. It was odd though. Her skin was just as soft as the last time I touched it. Her hands just as cold as they always were. She was always cold. It was like she was…
The Most Wonderful Part…Mom
Thanksgiving and Christmas have passed us now, and it’s time for a New Year already. Can you believe it? I’m not sure about you, but my last year literally flew by. There are things I could have handled differently in that year, and there are things I would do over and over again if given…
Sundays with Friends: My friend Jen and her Peanut Butter Balls…
Do you remember my good friend, Jen? She last wrote for us about Wild Turkey Stew, and this time she’s bringing us a very near and dear to her heart recipe for her Mama’s Peanut Butter Balls. I meant to get this to you before Christmas, but we all know how busy the Holidays can…
Delancey’s – Perfect Southern Goodness
I know some of you already know this, but if you’re late to the Foodie Party, I also write for a local magazine here. I try to share each article with you after it’s published. However, I’m a month behind. This one is from the December 2012 issue of Alamance Magazine. It’s about the most…
