Pickled Veg Salad with Burrata and Grilled Bread

Each year I find some excuse to go to the beach. This past year my family visited the 30A area and we had the opportunity to stop at the Fonville Press for lunch. On the menu was this delicious burrata salad complete with pickled veg and a huge slice of grilled bread. It was light and delicious,

5 Tips to Help Host Guests During the Holidays

I’m a traditionalist when it comes to Holiday decorating: I like greens, vibrant reds, punchy patterns and any excuse to pull out plaid pillows and plaid ribbons for the tree. I always love decorating to the nines over the Holidays because you will inevitably have guests coming in and out at a moment’s notice. When

Chicken Chasseur & Truffled Mashed Potatoes

I would like to think that in one of my past lives I was a provincial Frenchwoman of decent means. I would spend my mornings in the kitchen with the cooks making bread (eating bread), and my afternoons lounging in a field reading Gulliver’s Travels until the sun begun to set and I’ve have to

Mediterranean Israeli Couscous Salad

I remember the first time I tried Israeli Couscous a couple of years ago and how much I had loved its texture and the way it soaked up the sauce of the fish that accompanied it. Now I find myself adding pearled couscous every time I go on a shelf staple refresh to the grocery

Watermelon Caprese Salad

It is finally upon us: the height of summer and we’re all draping ourselves in front of air conditioning units and lingering a bit longer in the stores with the coldest A/C in town.

Lowcountry Produce Beaufort SC

It’s become a habit of increasing frequency for me to walk into a place and immediately fall in love with the atmosphere. None have struck me quite as intensely as the former post office turned daily eatery like Lowcountry Produce in Beaufort, SC. It’s as if the owners themselves were catering to the fact that

Backyard Grilling with Dartagnan

Every so often my family gets together and we grill out on the back porch. Since we’re constantly running in ten different directions it’s nice to have an excuse to sit down and enjoy a meal together. I miss those days where dinner was at 6:30 pm and we all sat down for a meal together.

Zero George Street

In Charleston there are a plethora of places to stay and eat at. From AirBnB’s with private gardens, to haunted hotels on King street, and then there are boutique hotels providing more than just relaxation but curating an entire low-country luxury experience for all who cross their courtyard. None do it better than Zero George

The Best Kept BLT Secret

With the onset of warmer weather, we are getting a sneak peek of some of the South’s finest staples. At the exit of Strawberry season, we are being sprung straight into another one of my favorite seasons: the tomato. We Southerner’s all but lose our minds the moment the ugly heirlooms, the perfectly spherical Roma’s,

Fall Escape to Mercier Orchards

As autumn peaks over the horizon and the humidity starts to evaporate from Atlanta like a steamy shower would dissipate when the door is left open, Atlantan’s start craving all things cool weather. We found ourselves in a position to escape the sweltering heat of late summer and headed north up I-75 to the mountains,
