Southern panache for your life
We can’t wait to get outdoors and celebrate Memorial Day Weekend. The weather has been great and the humidity hasn’t settled in, so we know we need to take our celebration to the park where we can kick back, relax, people and puppy watch and enjoy some tasty bites throughout the afternoon. We’re sharing some
One of my favorite ways to enhance a classic margarita is by adding a bit of fruit juice. If I’m not sipping on the perfect pitcher margarita, I’m probably adding some grapefruit simple syrup or pineapple simple syrup to the mix.

Is there anything more tragic than a poorly made margarita? Growing up in the 90’s, it was the time of processed and packaged everything, case and point, the sour mouth puckering margarita mix that claimed all you had to do was just add tequila for the perfect margarita.

Let’s talk about how delicious peach everything is. I have long loved putting peaches in my recipes ( it basically comes with the territory of living in Atlanta your entire life), but the worst time of the year is when it’s not quite peach season but you’ve run out of your frozen peach stash from
I will be the first one to admit, I hate when people include cantaloupe in a fruit salad because it overpowers everything in the salad and every other fruit starts tasting like cantaloupe.

If you like citrus desserts that aren’t overly sweet, this is the cake for you. We whipped up a classic yellow cake mix from our friend Very Vera and added a little orange extract to the mix. To finish we added some sugared oranges to make this upside down cake! Photos by Dasha Crawford Photo
Let me tell you about the most fun I’ve had in a long time, it was the other night when the Darling crew got together to make the best biscuit recipe with the one and only, Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit. I remember my first real trip to Charleston when we discovered Callie’s HLB how I
