This year, on New Year's Day, my tiny Supper Club gathered at my house to ring in the new year, and- as host- I decided to go full Southern New Year's Day meal.
Growing up, my parents would always cook greens and black-eyed peas on New Year's Day. Sadly, my mother was not the best cook, so we ...
On to 2020!
Just a few days ago, one of my agents posted an open-ended question on her Facebook page: "The word I will incorporate into my life for 2020 is improvement," she said. "What will yours be?" Almost without hesitation, I typed a response. "Contentment."
Admittedly, I'm a girl who wants. I want ...
Fourth Quarter Reads
Well, this is sad...
I've met my reading challenge of 2019, reading an average of 2 books a month. I've covered everything from books on women in business to the history of hip-hop to Stephen King's classic It. But, in the final quarter of this year, I've been so distracted by other things, ...
Warm and Fuzzy
Cold weather has finally decended on us in the Bluegrass. I woke up Tuesday morning to a smattering of snow on the ground, which was perfect. Bryan and I had just watched White Christmas the night before, and as he padded into the kitchen for his morning coffee, he began singing Irving Berlin's ...
A Note on Christmas: Cedar, a Shag Rug, and my Emotional Undoing
Each year, around September, I begin brainstorming that year's holiday decor. Moodboards are pieced together on Pinterest, showing topiaries made of tangerines, Aerin Lauder's New York home, gifts wrapped in a multitude of coordinating papers... This year, my heart settled on really decking out ...

After a small crowd through our home yesterday for a Thanksgiving open house, and the amount of Applejack, cornbread and apple cake I consumed, I thought I'd be sleeping in a bit, but I popped awake at ...
Get Ready for Leftovers… A Thanksgiving Salad
One of the biggest issues we have after Thanksgiving is what to do with all of the leftover turkey. Come Saturday, we're so freaking tired of turkey we can't stand it.
A few years ago, I found a copycat recipe for Sweetgreen's Harvest Bowl on Coveteur, and gave it a try with my own spin. ...
The Thanksgiving Table
This year, Bryan and I have decided to stay in Louisville and celebrate Thanksgiving with just the two of us. I'm considering the possibility of a spatchcocked bird on the Traeger, but homemade cranberry jelly and sweet cornbread are definitely happening... as is a frosted apple cake.
I ...
The Traeger
It's really rare that Bryan makes a plea for anything house related. He's the dream guy, usually responding "Whatever you want" when asked whether or not he likes new pillows, a sofa, lamps... He was very active in helping to find a new mattress, and he does, now, help me iron the new sheets. But ...
