This month’s Recipe Redux theme was the cupcake conundrum – still a trend or over it? Quite frankly, I think the trendiness of cupcakes is waning and another dessert will be all the rage soon. Nevertheless, I decided to refresh the cupcake by adding an Asian twist, something trend reports say we will be seeing more [...]
Our children had Spring Break this past week and we took a day to go to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens to see all of the tulips in bloom, which were stunning. Thankfully it wasn’t too cool and it had stopped raining. The kids loved it, as always. We got a family pass this past year [...]
Breakfast pizza is something I grew up eating. My father is a great cook, though he mainly keeps to meat and breakfast for his repertoire. Somewhere along the line when I was young, he started finding all kinds of recipes that he would make on Sunday morning or for holidays. Breakfast pizza was one that stuck [...]

This months Recipe Redux theme is vintage side dishes. It took me a little while to come up with a dish to do as I come from a long line of Southern cooks and the options are many. Casseroles are a mainstay in their repertoire and one of my favorites at all of our holiday [...]
This month’s Recipe Redux is “Orange You Glad It’s Fall”? The answer is a resounding YES! Fall is my favorite season with its cooler temperatures, changing leaves and of course, football. But mainly it means pumpkin is in season, and I have a slight obsession! Actually I pretty much love all orange produce this [...]
