I just got wind of a fabulous new supper club being held by the sweet folks at Sun In My Belly. Every Thursday night they will be whipping up a fabulous new menu for you to enjoy.

Might be fun to meet some new friends, yes? And there’s even live music!

What are they serving up tomorrow night? Let’s take a peek.

Mmmmm…Sun In My Belly!

Summer means several things: sunshine, beaches, carnivals and camping. Nearly 13 million people go camping every year in the U.S. alone, with the number rising 6 percent in 2010.

What? 13 MILLION people go camping? Not like staying in a cabin, but a tent? Huh, imagine that!

Families stake out for days, even weeks, in our country’s beautiful national and state parks every summer. With the heat and exhausting travel, snacks often need to be healthy, transportable and flavorful.

My question is….what are we packing to eat?

Festivals are prevalent in Atlanta. We have festivals for everything.

I, for one, happen to adore festivals. All those fun people, all the fun food and beverages. Maybe even a blue grass band!

What’s happening on the Atlanta Festival scene?

Can you believe it’s September next week? Come on Autumn! But first, we must say goodbye to summer via Labor Day.

Lets clink our glasses as we unwrap the light sweaters in the attic.

Gamble on a Party

Good Morning Darlings!

Do you feel the cool in the air? Just a subtle change right now that will segue into full fledged autumn weather.

The change of season invariably has me thinking of new ways to entertain. Autumn is the gateway to all those fabulous holiday parties that keep everyone busy. And with so many parties to choose from, make sure yours is the one they are still talking about next year.

What am I whipping up?
