I love living in the South but one thing I've always wanted to participate in is the Northern tradition of apple picking. Yes, we have great summer peaches and blackberries here in the South but there is something about the crisp fall air and the idea of picking apples with your family that makes me, well, a little jealous.
I can not help but put pumpkin in everything this time of year! Pound cake is a versatile dense cake that really lets the addition of seasonal ingredients shine.

Now back away from that box of same-old pops. These surprising DIY popsicles prove that it’s easy—and cool—to be different.
I was recently lucky enough to be invited to attend "Biscuit Bootcamp" at Brentwood's Holler & Dash. I mean, let's be honest, I invited myself and I was lucky enough they said yes!
My sweet friend, Evin Krehbiel (of Evin Photography) and I met up with Holler & Dash's Culinary Director, Chef Brandon Frohne for a lesson in buttermilk biscuit making and well, a lot of laughs.
Homemade pizza night is one of our favorite family dinner nights. E loves to help press out the dough and laughs so loud when I throw it in the air, yelling "peazzA."
One evening we came home from a date night and the babysitter had ordered Chinese food and said, "you're daughter ate all my fried rice!" Me, always looking for new and fresh weeknight dinner ideas, had an AH-HA moment. Why not make a healthier chicken fried rice at home?
I had a huge bowl of green apples left over from a photoshoot. Mmmm ... what to make with them? What. to. make..... apple crumb cake with cinnamon and oats atop a moist sour cream cake with a hint of almond extract. Yep. That's it. Start peeling apples.
Weeknight dinner inspiration can be a challenge. My family wants to eat dinner every. single. night. It's exhausting! Trying to come up with something simple to make, healthy, and delicious is a tall order. I've really been working to bring you just that—easy weeknight meals that everyone will love, staring with these Barbecue Chicken and Spinach Stuffed Sweet Potatoes.
We're all looking for easy and healthy weeknight family meals. This Yogurt Crusted Chicken is crispy, tender, versatile, and simple to make.
Homemade gifts are the best gifts. And, when your holiday gift list includes not only family and friends, but also co-workers, neighbors, teachers, and even the mailman, homemade treats make heartfelt economical gifts that everyone appreciates.
Thanksgiving is next week and I can't stop craving pumpkin. We've been buying a bushel of apples at the Farmer's Market every Saturday so VOILA!, this Pumpkin Apple Cake was born!
Everyone loves Williams-Sonoma's Spiced Pecan Pumpkin Quick Bread. I mean, what says fall more than the smell of pumpkin bread coming from your kitchen?
I started making homemade Cherry Limeade last 4th of July for our annual Independence Day party. Now it has become a special summer treat that I find myself making quite often. No need to trek to Sonic, this homemade recipe is fresh and totally amazing!
Weekend afternoons and evenings spent poolside with family and friends are a treat that only summer can afford and nothing screams summertime-fun more than lemonade. This sweet and tart childhood favorite turned boozy adult cocktail will be your new favorite warm-weather refresher.
The best way to take advantage of the beautiful, warm days ahead is with a picturesque picnic eaten in a lovely al fresco setting. There’s something about eating outdoors, and on a blanket, that makes food taste slightly more delicious.
This cake has become one of my family's favorite Easter traditions. I think it's just because it's my favorite, I make dessert every year, and thus have forced it upon everyone else. Isn't that how all family traditions begin?
Seeing as today is Pi Day (3.14), I thought that I'd bring you one of my all time favorite pie recipes. Now, I know that your inbox and social media is going to be bombarded with PIE today but this Lemon Blueberry Pie is not to be missed!
A couple of months ago, I went to the opening of Sprinkles in Nashville. I was thrilled to get a swag bag with yes, cupcakes. I was even more excited though about the cookies included. I had no idea Sprinkles even had cookies! Oh, do they have cookies. The most amazing cookies.
