Easy Cajun Chicken Pasta & A Chance to Win An LG Easy Clean Double Oven Range
Our family may have a slight pasta problem. We could truly eat it every day. Spaghetti, macaroni, ziti, linguine, bowtie, you get the idea.

It makes me truly happy because it’s a rare chance to get my son to eat grilled chicken. It is truly delicious, and couldn’t be more simple to make. ~Ingredients~ 1 box of penne pasta 1 jar of store bought alfredo sauce 2 cups of finely shredded mozzarella cheese 3 chicken breasts {Read More…}
How To Start Seeds In 3 Days
I love flowers. There is nothing better than having coffee on my patio in the mornings, surrounded by all of the vibrant colors in my garden.

To be honest, I just forgot to do my usual indoor seed planting weeks ago like I was supposed to. So, when I saw a tip in Southern Living Magazine last week, I decided to try it. Now I am going to show you how {Read More…}
Grilled Romaine Salad Recipe with Balsamic Dressing

A few months ago, a friend had us over for dinner, and served grilled romaine salad before dinner. My husband and I looked at each other like she had lost her mind, but it was surprisingly one of the yummiest things I have ever eaten! Now every time I see grilled romaine on a menu at a restaurant, I order it. I decided that with summer coming, {Read More…}

I love anything that is monogrammed. I mean, I’m a southern girl after all…don’t southern women have to love monograms? It may be a law that if you are from the south, you must love monograms. I also love wine, which means there are wine corks a plenty around here. So, I guess if life gives you wine corks, you must make something with them, right?
