In 2021, I became a traveling foodie. I disguised it as a “photographer”, but whatever. It is what it is. Everywhere I travel, I research the best restaurants in the area before the hotels. Because, you know…priorities. I had a shoot in Chicago earlier this month. My model/friend recommended that we try Tavern on the…
Southern Pecan Pie
I’ll be honest. I was hesitant on sharing this recipe, because I’m not a fan of pecans. Especially in a pie. But, I’m a dang food blogger! I can’t just share things I enjoy. If that were the case, I’d just have you eating Lucky Charms. I love them! Anyway, I stopped being selfish. Here’s…
The BEST Cranberry Sauce!
I’m quite embarrassed at how long it took me to fall in love with cranberry sauce. I remember grimacing at that cylindrical mold my mom placed amongst our Thanksgiving spread.

Sweet Chili Chicken Crispers
My family loves this one, particular restaurant. Me, not so much. But, the chicken tender thingy’s aren’t so bad. I appreciate that the chicken is thin and tendon less. The honey chipotle sauce is great, too. But, I’ve always wondered what they would taste like with sweet chili sauce. So, I had to find out.…
Crispy Baked Potato Wedges Recipe
Potato wedges are so unappreciated. They are really a bomb side dish! And they are too easy to make. My recipe tastes exactly like the ones my family gets from a local restaurant. They are baked, but you wouldn’t believe it by taste alone. I’ll show you how I make crispy potato wedges in your…
Macaroni Salad Recipe
For years, I was afraid to even look at the macaroni salad I saw in deli’s and on buffet spreads. I honestly don’t remember when I actually decided to give it a try. But, I’m so glad I did! It’s amazing! I chuckled while developing this recipe. Because I never imagined I’d eat this stuff…
