It's never too early to start celebrating fall! And this fall I'm making a point to try just about every pumpkin concoction I can dream up. Last fall, because we were in the process of moving and adjusting to life in Myrtle Beach, I didn't have as much time to recipe test, because I was [...]
I remember when I started my job here in Myrtle Beach and everyone said, "Just wait until summer!" They weren't kidding. There are wall-to-wall people in the ER just about everyday of the week. Not even a global pandemic can keep people from the airbrushed t-shirts and put-put golf. It's truly astounding. But I'm learning [...]
My mom has taught me a lot of things. She's taught me how to cook, bake, love, and lead. Her life has been a passionate demonstration of a life lived for Christ. But she also has the amazing gift of hospitality. Growing up as a preacher's daughter, my parents entertained people in their home pretty [...]
Breakfast is truly the most important meal of the day. I find it's my favorite meal of the day. That's probably why I love brunch so much. Any excuse to eat breakfast foods and I'm all in! Eggs, sausage, toast, bacon, pancakes, fruit, and lots of lots of coffee. What could be better than breakfast?!? [...]
Okay, I love a good piece of toast. Call my boring, bland, or basic, but there is something so lovely about the breakfast possibilities a piece of toast holds.

Breakfast is my absolute favorite meal of the day. I'm convinced the best foods get served in the morning. Eggs. Bacon. Oatmeal. Biscuits. Pancakes. Muffins. Grits. Waffles.I would be here all day if I were to name them all... But because breakfast is my favorite, I also love cooking/baking breakfast foods the most. I think [...]
The holidays are fast approaching. Holiday parties, get-together's, family reunions, brunches, dinners... All the events seem to happen at once! It's one of the busiest times of year for many people because of all the extra commitments we have going on. However, stress is not on the guest list this year. So any recipe or [...]
I'm a huge toast fan. Every time I eat it, it reminds me of my first time traveling to England. My grandparents promised each of us grandchildren that we could pick anywhere in the world and go there for a week for our 13th birthday present. Such a generous offer for a 13 year old, [...]
Certain smells can instantly lift my mood. Freshly cut grass, fabric softener, hot bacon, campfires, and Anthropologie candles to name a few, but freshly baked banana bread may be at the top of my list. Even if you don't like the taste of bananas, the smell of banana bread baking in the oven is the [...]
Omelette you finish, but THIS is one of the best egg recipes of all time... But seriously though, I have finally conquered the art of the perfect omelette with this easy peasy recipe. Taking at most 10 minutes from start to finish, this recipe is a true winner. I recently was given The Art of [...]
