Good Morning Darlings!
Cast iron cooking is second nature to most southern cooks.
I have not been one of those cooks.
How did I get turned in the right direction?

Good Morning Darlings!
When our sweet friend, Stephanie, asked Eric and I to join her Cookbookery Club back in December, we were thrilled. The premise – choose a cookbook and allow everyone to prepare a dish, then get together and chow down.
That sounds perfect for us! Of course we would love to join!
This month was very exciting!

Good Morning Darlings!
Today is our sweet Holly’s birthday and last night we celebrated by watching the Golden Globes and eating lots of comfort food.

Good Morning Darlings!
OMG – it is Golden Globes Day! My Superbowl!
This is so much better than the Academy Awards because all the celebs are drinking it up and you never know what they will say. It’s my favorite!
It’s also bestie Holly’s birthday, so Eric, besties John & Holly and I will be eating copious amounts of lasagne, garlic bread, bacon petit fours made by my friend Brandon at Bear Maker Bakery (bacon petit fours y’all!!) and a layer lemon cake, all washed down with champagne, cocktails and Whopper candies. Then we will scream at the television and critique all the dresses. I am SO excited. God bless Eric, who I am sure will eat with us and then excuse himself to play video UNO or watch a Star Trek episode or four.
While I am getting ready, I am letting my buddy, Katie, in NYC, take the wheel and whip up some awesome cocktails for your viewing pleasure.
How do you celebrate the Golden Globes?
Take it away, Katie!

Good Morning Darlings!
My resolutions have lasted about one split second.
What made me break?

Still on this “I should eat healthy” kick. Day Two.
What’s left in the pantry?

Good Morning Darlings!
Welp, all the partying is done (until Super Bowl…), so I should really consider eating more healthily.
Let’s see what’s in the pantry and fridge.

Good Morning Darlings!
I am plum full up from the weekend. Scores of tamales, Frangelico cake, cheese dip, guacamole, salsa, enchiladas, more chips. And a marathon of Being Human yesterday on the couch. Dang, that show is good.
Get to the food already!

Good Morning Darlings!
The lovely people at Ross Dress For Less recently sent me a $25 gift certificate and let me have at it.
And so I did.
What did I get?
