Love Letters from the Good Life

Looking/Cooking Forward

Admittedly, the last 3 months, our diets have been anything but healthy. Anything but homemade. Other than the Thanksgiving day turkey meatball washing-the-dishes-in-the-bathtub attempt, we’ve been surviving off of microwavable foods and takeout. We finally have some sort of light at the end of the tunnel when it comes to an install date of the kitchen, and all I can think of is what I want to cook…

The Kale Salad: I found this recipe on The Coveteur a few years ago, and it’s been a go-to ever since. The light crunch of the pine nuts and the salty goodness of the cheeses make this a summer staple in our house. Bryan requested salads last week, and I found myself wanting to pull this one out.

Balsamic Braised Short Ribs: Short ribs, balsamic vinegar, shallots, brown sugar… I can see these draped over creamy polenta with a gorgeous red wine.

These Waffles: You know that B and I are huge breakfast people. I’m looking forward to the lazy Sunday mornings that we can sit together in the sunroom, sipping mimosas, listening to jazz, and eating these crispy waffles. Ah, breakfast. I miss you the most.

Super Garlicky Shrimp Cocktail: My friend Karen made loads of this shrimp cocktail for a girl gathering years and years ago and directed me to the recipe online. While it doesn’t compete with the make-your-eyes-water shrimp cocktail that we love at St. Elmo, I wouldn’t mine firing this recipe up with a Caesar salad for a light dinner one night.

This Hash: Alongside thick bacon and topped with poached eggs (not baked in), this hash has been a regular brunch go-to. We made a huge batch the Sunday after our wedding reception when we had family in. If Bryan is out of town and a girlfriend joins me for breakfast, we’re at the table with this and a teeny bit of hot sauce. Something about the amount to Thyme and the sheer amount of garlic I add makes this the ultimate comfort breakfast food.

Maybe it’s due to an overactive mind, a desire to feel like I’m influencing someone, or perhaps, it’s simply that I need to talk.

Looking for Something?

While the man and I aren’t really doing a beauti While the man and I aren’t really doing a beautiful table setting this year (we have paper plates and a folding table), or roasting a huge bird and hosting 20 people for board games and bourbon (it’ll be turkey meatballs for two, because... Covid), I still wanted to throw some inspiration out there. This is my favorite Thanksgiving tablescape from 2017. This table is on the blog now! Cheers, y’all.

So hard to believe our gorgeous home is on the mar So hard to believe our gorgeous home is on the market... so many years here, and so many changes in our lives. This house has seen the loss of both our dogs, both my parents. We celebrated our engagement here, came home happy and silly after a Christmas elopement. Thanksgiving here has been full of Bourbon and friends and Trivial Pursuit.  This has been my happy place for the better part of a decade. 

Going to sleep tonight in hopes of the right buyer who will love these walls as much as we have 💕
Happy Friday from the best place on earth! Happy Friday from the best place on earth!
