Share Your Good News: Green Gestures {In the Cafe}
If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you know that I like to do a little something called “Fist Bump Friday”, where I encourage my friends to share something that has made them happy during the week. Sometimes we get so bogged down with life and the crazy that comes with it that we forget to recognize the good things. So I thought it’d be fun if we all shared and celebrated together. So please, share your good news in the comments below. Remember, it doesn’t have to be big or earth shattering. If it’s important to you, it’s important to me. This week, I’m happy to be doing…

Throwback Thursday: Homemade Potato, Corn and Shrimp Chowder {In the Kitchen}
Originally posted: 8 November 2012 Have you ever wanted to eat something so badly that you thought about it all day long? That’s how I was the other night. I wanted Shrimp and Grits with Fried Chicken. Desperately. So I quickly drove home and, guess what? No grits anywhere in the house. So I started thinking and thinking and thinking and when I finally accepted the fact that I wasn’t going to get in my car and drive back in to town just for some grits, I decided to make chowder. Best decision ever. Here’s the recipe, I hope you agree. What you need: 1/2 lb Shrimp, peeled and deveined…

You Have Cancer {Repost}
A close friend was diagnosed with breast cancer today. As I listened to her sob over the phone, I wished I could be there to hold her hand, embrace her, and let her know that I understand what she’s going through. My heart aches for her and her family – as a wife and mother, this is an unimaginably difficult time. But her story is not mine to tell, so here’s my story: Am I going to die? Will my kids remember me? Does Tony know how much I love him? How long do I have left? Will I go peacefully? Why me? Those were just some of the thoughts…

Throwback Thursday: Meatloaf Mice {In the Kitchen}
Originally posted: 31 October 2009 On Wednesday afternoon, I received an email from my husband asking if I could come up with something to cook for a Halloween themed party he was having at work. Hmmmm….interesting request, especially since I hate Halloween {chalk it up to my upbringing, those who know my parents understand}. Anyway, I sat up all night Wednesday trying to come up with something delicious and Halloweeny. The best I could come up with was Meatloaf Mice. What you’ll need: Ground beef to make mouse shaped meatloaf {you can make mini ones like I did or big ones} Cooked spaghetti noodles for the tails {I separated them…

Coffee Talk: Paternity Tests, Conrad Murray, and the Zombie Apocalypse {In the Cafe}
Hi, and welcome to Coffee Talk. In case you’re new here, this is where I share some of the great and not~so~great stuff that I find on the web. Topics range from news stories that leave me scratchin’ my head to DIYs that I think are absolutely clever. And, who knows, there may even be a recipe thrown in here or there just for fun. So grab a cup of coffee {or tea or whatever floats your boat} and let’s talk… 1. Why? Why? Why is there a show on TV called “Paternity Court”? If you are unsure of the paternity of your child, why on Earth would you go…
