Strawberry Cobbler (quick version)
For the past 5 days, it’s been raining in Nashville. Not just drizzling or sprinkling rain, but hard down pouring rains that make you want to stay in the house. When I’m stuck in the house and bored, I like to bake. Since we’ve started eating differently, I’ve been trying to make our recipes a little […]
Almond Butter Chocolate Chip Bars
I can’t believe that I’ve been missing out on almond butter all of these years. Mentally, I’ve always lumped it into the same category as natural peanut butter. Not fresh ground peanut butter. I’m talking about the gross stuff you see in the store with the layer of oil on top that needs to be […]
Spicy Pinto Beans with Smoked Turkey – Crockpot Recipe

Back in my college days, chicken wings were a dietary staple for my friends and I. You could buy a big family pack of wings for a few bucks and eat well for days. Of course that was before wings became trendy and every restaurant in the country started selling them. It was also before […]
Lentil and Sausage Stew with Greens
I haven’t wanted to mention this but I’ve been trying to change the way we eat. Nothing drastic – just a few small changes to incorporate more healthy foods into our dinners. After 7 years of marriage, I’ve learned not to make a big deal out of things like this. When I decided to stop […]
Soul Food Sunday – Southern Sweet Potato Pie
Every holiday I can remember growing up involved a homemade sweet potato pie with lots of cinnamon and nutmeg. No we didn’t eat pumpkin pie – it was sweet potato all the way for our household. Before I moved away from home, there were a handful of dishes that my mom made me master- fried chicken, […]
