GF Pumpkin and White Chocolate Trifle

I made this two times recently. Once for a Halloween party and again for a Friendsgiving Hayley was attending.  Both times, it was a hit.

I am always looking for gluten-free desserts.  But, I have yet to find a trifle recipe.  So, what to do? Come up with your own.

Thanksgiving Timeline and Menu

I sometimes get overwhelmed when hosting a big event.  And, I definitely consider Thanksgiving a big event.  I do better when I make myself a timeline as a guide.

So, I thought for my benefit and yours that I would share this year’s timeline plus give a few tips.

Holiday Gift Basket DIY

With the holidays coming up, we all love to send our friends and families boxes of fruit or cheese, nuts or  chocolates, or whatever.

But for those friends/families out of state, I thought it would be nice to send them a gift basket that you made instead.  And, to boot, how about one stuffed with items from your own home state?  Especially, with things they can’t get or know where to get where they live.

Thanksgiving Bargain Buys

I found some Thanksgiving items as of late that were huge bargains!  Most all of them were from T.J. Maxx but one was from the Target dollar section.  I just had to share my latest purchases…..

Hidden Gem of the SB

Welcome back to another addition of “Hidden Gems of the SB” where we find local business establishments that we would like to highlight.

Spaghetti Squash Lasagna

I love lasagna!  I love zucchini lasagna, sausage lasagna, eggplant lasagna, butternut squash lasagna, vegetable lasagna, and yes, seafood lasagna (it’s a thing)….I will take it anyway I can get it!

Blue and White Tablescapes

Southern Lady Magazine

As I sit here and listen to the Bee Gees’ song “How Deep Is Your Love” on my bluetooth speaker (no pun intended),  I’m thinking the same about the color blue.  I truly have a deep love for the color blue!

Shrimp and Quinoa Skillet Dinner with Two Drizzles

 

First of all, thank you all for the kind words about our “Front Facelift.”  They really mean a lot.

To be honest, Rourke was very skeptical

Front Facelift

 

Our house exterior has been needing a little facelift as of late. ( i.e. fresh paint, landscaping and power washing)

Instead of using the existing paint colors, we decided to go with a whole new palette and look!

I just had to share!

Retirement Q & A

 

I get the question all the time, “Do you miss teaching school?”  I get caught off guard when asked EVERY SINGLE TIME!

So, I thought I would try and answer that question through a blog post the best way I could…..through a Q & A?!
