For Christmas my parents sent Joel a copy of Jamie’s Great Britain. It’s gorgeous and full of mouthwatering recipes. It’s been our go to for yummy dinner ideas for the last few months. Like the name implies, it’s chockablock full of traditionally British dishes, little history lessons, and simply stunning photography.
I feel like I’ve been doing a pretty good job of keeping up with my 365 one photo a day goal. Sure I miss a few days here or there and sometimes the most interesting subject I can find ends up being dinner or my plants, but I’ve captured some pretty light and that makes [...]
My flickr stream has been filling up with lots of photos of food so I thought I’d share a few recipes that I’ve been trying out this past week. Last night I made this really yummy tomato + chickpea dish. I swapped the oregano and parsley for fresh basil and made brussels sprouts for a side. [...]
I like to use a little of my weekends to try new recipes. They get bonus points if it’s something that can be popped in the oven for dinner on a weeknight when picking something up on the way home is just way too tempting. I had a few spare hours on Sunday afternoon so [...]
It’s a bright, cold wintery day and we’re still fighting off our colds a little so I am extra glad I made a batch of split pea soup last night! I tried a new recipe and it’s the easiest thing in the world! There’s nothing quite so nice as homemade soup, I think. My prescription [...]
It’s been a mellow but good weekend full of planning and making. There’s nothing better than wrapping up a project, except starting a new one! It’s getting colder and most of the weekend has been wet and dreary. I love it! It’s the perfect day for a little indoor gardening and soup making. My little [...]
I guess you can take the girl out of the south, but you can’t take the south out of the girl because I have been craving crispy and oh-so-good fried chicken like crazy lately! I went on a recipe hunt tonight and here’s what I found: Best Buttermilk Fried Chicken via No Recipes This recipe reminds [...]
Yesterday we spent pretty much the whole afternoon in the kitchen making some super delicious food. I made Jamie Oliver’s crispy asparagus and potato tart. It looks so lovely and it’s pretty easy to make. It was so good, we almost polished it off before I could get any photos! Last week an email from [...]
I came across Seven Spoons a week or so ago and it is simply wonderful! It’s the most inspiring food blog brimming with gorgeous photos and lovely food ideas. I want to try making all of the recipes!
You should visit Pretty Good for gorgeous photos and happy thoughts. I love this photo! Doesn’t it sum up a summer Friday so perfectly? Just looking at it, I feel the humidity and smell the heady perfume of the roses. It’s certainly humid here and our little garden is flourishing from all the rain we’ve been having. [...]
I write about things I like: knitting, fashion, books, and other cozy, lovely things. Thanks for visiting!
