If you have a Carrot Cake fan in your family, they will love you forever if you make this cake! My sister-in-law’s favorite cake is carrot and before she left me and moved to Atlanta, I used to make this for her birthday every year! […]

There are good recipes… and then there are great recipes. The ones you make when you have your best dinner guest over. When you want your man to propose or you need money from your parents. Maybe it’s someone’s birthday or another special occasion. Can […]

It’s been a while since I’ve written any kind of local guide, but since we have all figured out that COVID-19 isn’t going anywhere… this is a very helpful idea I thought of the other day. Wasn’t it fun when we thought the lockdown rules for this pandemic would only last a few weeks? Good […]

These little crostinis are so good, I’ve decided to serve them as an appetizer for my family’s Christmas dinner this year. I’ll be hosting this dinner and if there’s one thing I’ve learned from hosting large crowds – make ahead dishes will change your life! […]

After writing the blog post on heated outdoor patios for Raleigh, I received so many requests to make the same list for the surrounding cities in the Triangle. It’s taken me a while and I’m sure the list is probably missing a few restaurants, but […]

Ham and Rosemary belong together. Like Peanut Butter and Jelly, Sonny and Cher, Ross and Rachel… you get the point. That’s where I got the idea for these savory scones. They are so freaking good! The saltiness from the country ham goes really well with the herby rosemary and melty cheddar. There is even a […]

Being stuck at home has made me want to cook and bake all the nostalgic things, things my mom would make growing up. I think it’s because often times our parents are a source of comfort and stability. I can’t visit my mom right now because she is high-risk, but making recipes that remind me […]

Sausage balls might be technically breakfast food, but I think they are all-day any-day appropriate! I love serving these at parties with heavy appetizers or when I want to cook a good Saturday breakfast for a crowd!
