Am I the last person standing who (before today) hadn’t tried Whipped Coffee?? Arguably, this may be the hottest trend to come out of covid cooking. While everyone’s favorite coffee shops were struggling through the early months of the pandemic, caffeine enthusiasts took it upon themselves to whip up these easy-on-the-eyes frothy beverages. I personally have been mesmerized by gorgeous Instagram photos of this coffee concoction for months.

Rosemary Watermelon Juice.
As we head into summer and backyard BBQ’s, there’s a good chance we’ll find ourselves with half a watermelon taking up way too much space in the Frigidaire. I did. Water-melon. Water. Flavored water. Do you see where I’m headed… Continue reading »

I ordered a Cucumber Basil Martini at the Mayan Kitchen restaurant in Chattanooga and knew instantly I’d have to recreate it at home.

This recipe is a gift that keeps on giving. First, are the glorious Bourbon Glazed Grilled Peaches. They are a perfect side dish, ice cream topping, bread pudding partner, cuddle up on the couch like nobody’s business snack. The list goes on.

Months and months ago when I was doing a little research on tomatillos for my Salsa Verde recipe, I ‘bookmarked’ a recipe for Fire Roasted Tomatillo Guacamole. Which translated means I wrote it on a piece of scrap paper and shoved it in my folder of recipes that I plan to make some day. Today’s the day for this crazy good recipe I found on Gilt Taste.

With summer in full swing, it was time to recreate one of my most favorite Lemony Thyme comfort food recipes. We turned our Greek Chicken Meatloaf into Greek Chicken Burgers. They have all the fresh bright flavors that Greek food brings – lemon, fresh oregano, spinach, feta, aaahhhhh. They are super moist, easy to make and reheat beautifully.
