There’s nothing like filling your home with the scent of the season. Today I’m sharing my fragrant fall simmer pot. For as long as I can remember I have always simmered things on the stove top to make my house smell warm and inviting. This was even way before it was “a thing”. Simmer pots…
Here’s a great recipe for easy peach ice cream. Wow, I thought last year’s peaches were the best peaches ever. Hands-down this summer’s peaches are even better. I kid you not – they are larger, juicier, sweeter and just delicious. Honestly I feel like I am adding them to every single meal, snack and dessert….
Mom’s Southern Potato Salad I think I have said this before, but my mother was a fabulous cook. Everyone in our family has favorite dishes that we loved for her to make. Being that the 4th of July holiday is coming up it reminds me of mom’s southern potato salad. What makes it southern? To…
Do you like to cook? I do, especially in the summertime when fresh vegetables and herbs are more plentiful. Sometimes I try to make dishes that don’t require me to turn on the oven.
