Good Morning Darlings!
My adorable friend, Barry Belcher (who you might remember from our hilarious cooking videos here and here ), is the new Marketing Manager at The Mansion on Peachtree . Their Elf on the Shelf is back for Christmas and is making appearances all over the property during the holidays.
Take a look! And go visit him in person. While you are there you can duck in for a drink at their swanky bar. You never know you you might meet there!

No one likes to discuss parties and etiquette as much as I do, but it’s fun to get a fresh perspective now and again.

With all the turkey put away, let’s talk holiday baking. We can talk about Christmas now, right?
Come on in my kitchen!

If you haven’t decided what to serve after Thanksgiving dinner, allow me to lend a hand.
What sounds good and what’s easy?

You have your perfect turkey. Now what?
How big is that bird of yours?

All kinds of emails show up in my inbox everyday. It’s sometimes hard to decipher what might be cool and what I might want to share with you.
Something worth sharing inside
