Southern panache for your life
I always love a refreshing gin cocktail for the summer. To me, there is no more perfect cocktail than a gin and tonic. It’s tart and refreshing. This gin grapefruit gimlet is taking the classic gin and tonic and adding a splash of seasonal flavor with the hint of grapefruit. It’s an incredibly easy cocktail
I’m not here to convince you that gluten-free is better than gluten-full. I don’t think food technology is there yet where a croissant can be replicated with gluten-free flour but if I had to choose whether to eat this cake with gluten or gluten-free flour, I would go gluten-free flour all the way. This gluten
Beignets- probably the reason why we have the funnel cake. Beignets are a totally acceptable “breakfast treat” to indulge in on the weekend unlike their fair-fodder friend. When our trip to New Orleans was canceled last April thanks to Covid, we decided to make the best of it and recreate our favorite New Orleans recipes
During my estate sale pursuits, I found the most delightful book called “Southern Cooking” from the 1940s.

When I last made cinnamon rolls on here, I was in a creative foodie exploration phase and overcomplicated the recipe by 200 fold. This past weekend in Cashiers NC, the weather was chilly, the leaves were dropping and it just seemed like my only option was to measure some flour and make the fluffiest cinnamon
It’s about to be Fall which means I’m anxiously awaiting the opportunity to make my favorite pot roast recipe. My favorite thing about this pot roast recipe is it encourages interacting with my Atlanta community. I buy my chuck roast from Evergreen Butcher & Baker in Kirkwood, the veggies I source from my favorite Farmers
Although this Fall may look a little different with a few stylish face coverings as you go to carry on about your Fall activities, one thing remains the same: the craving for autumnal flavors and hearty meals. On a recent trip to Cashiers NC, we indulged in a few cinnamon spice donuts at Mountain Fresh
This rustic peach tart recipe combines familiar spices with super-ripe Georgia peaches and pre-made pie crust for an incredibly easy and flavorful dessert. This recipe is inspired by the delicious flavors of summer in the South and creating easy, wholesome desserts the whole family will love.
