His words were, “This is THE Best Chicken Francese with Artichoke Hearts I’ve ever had!!” That was good enough for me… …so I made it for him again the next night.

Summer Thyme Sangria Will Ease You Right Into the Weekend!
Refreshing Summer Thyme Sangria will ease you right into the weekend. I mean shoes off, feet up, summer breeze blowing in your hair. Are you with me? This light and fruity sipper is gentle enough for brunch. It’s perfect to share with friends. Pretty enough for the front porch yet begs for the backyard! Use your favorite fruits of the season with a bottle of nice crispy white wine. Adding a few other flavor enhancers like vodka, simple syrup, and a sprig or two of lemony thyme (or your favorite fresh herb) add complexity.

Stuffed Artichokes
I was walking with a friend last week and out of the blue… ‘stuffed artichokes’ to which I emphatically replied ‘yes’ love them. Then I couldn’t get them off my mind. Are you an artichoke fan? Steamed, then pull their lushes pedals off one by one and dunk them in butter or better yet a mayo/mustard dip?? Are you with me?

Summer Thyme Sangria {with Watermelon & Rosemary}
Summer Thyme Sangria {with Watermelon & Rosemary} We recently attended a “Stock the Bar” Wedding Shower for the daughter of our good friends. One of the libations being served was a beautiful batch of Sangria, loaded with fresh berries and fruits. I eat (in this case drink) with my eyes first and that Sangria called me, by name.

Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup
Homemade Cream of Mushroom Soup. I recently saw a fb post from a well known blogger that asked followers if they used canned goods in their cooking. She received hundreds of comments that ranged from “NEVER” with a long list of the reasons why not to, to “My husband and I both work. Coming home to a crock-pot meal (that calls for cream of…) allows me time to play with my daughter before bed.”

Deconstructed Shrimp & Grits {one small bite at a time}
Deconstructed Shrimp & Grits ~ One small bite at a time. I’m not sure where to begin with this one. I was fumbling around the kitchen one Saturday afternoon, clearly making no headway on dinner. An ensuing melt-down in the making (doesn’t happen often but apparently there are precursors). To head it off, I was given a challenge. “Forget dinner. You have one hour to create an appetizer, something you’ve never made before. Then we’ll decide about dinner.”
