In 2015, I was introduced to Goodreads. Some refer to the app and website as Netflix for books, and it really is- suggestions based on what you've read and how you've rated past reads, a peek into what lies on your friends' bookshelves... I really love their Reading Challenge. Each ...
Pecan and Molasses Bundt Cake
I love the flavor of molasses. That dark, smokey almost-honey harkens memories of sitting at my grandparents’ breakfast table on Sunday mornings. My grandpa would mix his Sorghum- he pronounced it SARgum- with butter to spread on his breakfast biscuits, and it seemed like the smell would fill ...
Royalton Hotel, NYC
For the first time since I was a teenager, I missed the Kentucky Derby this year. Yes, you read that correctly. Instead, the man and I took the long weekend to travel to New York and visit a girlfriend and her husband. Being Bryan's first visit to the Big Apple, we decided to stay ...
On the Cheese Plate
It's 5pm, you're headed home from the office, and know that tonight, you're either eating leftover meatloaf or ordering pizza. All is well with both options, until a girlfriend reaches out and wants to grab a glass of wine, or you remember you're hosting book club, or your boyfriend calls and ...
Bellaire Inspiration
One week into my ownership of the house on Bellaire, and the kitchen has been ripped out, and the floors have started to come up (I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can walk in and see the crawlspace tomorrow!!). As much as I've been looking forward to the much-needed renovation and remodel of ...

Years ago, after years of watching my dad purchase, renovate, and sell homes, I had the itch to begin such a hobby myself. When we stumbled upon the 4th Street mansion in 2009, it was as if Daddy and I had found the world’s greatest cookie jar…. 7,000 square feet of Victorian-era woodwork, 11’ ...
Benedictine
Benedictine…. Mention it to most people outside the Louisville area and chances are they’ll have no clue what you’re talking about. Here, though? We’re familiar with the rich, somewhat salty, somewhat sweet spread that makes even something as simple as a water cracker or a ...
My Mint Julep
As I type, it's 1am, and I'm propped up in bed in my NYC hotel, stuffed full of greasy, New York-style pizza and cheesecake. Not my typical Oaks night!! Still, I can't help but think that tomorrow (or today, if you're an early-Derby-eve-party-pooper-outer) is the Kentucky Derby! My ...
Derby Essentials
Once upon a time, the Kentucky Derby was a one-day event. Those who owned horses, who trained them and who loved them flocked to Churchill for the first Saturday in May, then dispersed. Over the years, as the Derby grew in popularity, it was the Kentucky Oaks, the day before, that began ...
