I have returned. I hope you all had a really wonderful Christmas. We had snow in Delaware much to my delight! I spent Christmas morning baking cinnamon rolls. Oh. My. Goodness. They were so good.

Hello friends! I’m writing to you from dreary Hattiesburg, MS. The storms came last night and left us with humid but cold weather. A friend’s loft serves as our sanctuary as we work a bit before tonight’s show. By the way, if you’re in Hattiesburg or nearby you might want to consider coming out to …
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! We had a nice time hanging out with the family in Texas. My Thanksgiving meal turned out really well! I mentioned that I was roasting a chicken instead of a turkey and at the last minute I decided to switch chicken recipes. I am so glad that …
We are in Dallas for Thanksgiving and due to circumstances beyond my control, I will be cooking! I’m actually quite excited. This will be my third Thanksgiving as the chef and I’ve decided to try my hand at a few new recipes. Here’s my menu: -Roasted chicken with honey and thyme (yes, I’m doing a …
Hello friends! After a spectacular night in Walnut Ridge, AR (what a rowdy bunch!) we set off for Norman, OK. The journey was a bit long so we decided to put the crock pot to use. I was searching for new recipes online when I discovered one for lasagna. I thought to myself, is lasagna …
