Coffee and Pie Chat: Lemon-Lime Chess Pie Recipe
This post contains affiliate links Maple Orange Walnut Pie Click here for the recipe For our first pie, we baked a Maple Orange Walnut Pie from A Year of Pies by Ashley English. As I stated before, I’m not a baker, but this pie was super easy and delicious. A tad sweet, so I wouldn’t recommend it on a regular basis, but for special occasions? Absolutely. This month’s pie is Lemon-Lime Chess Pie. I’ve never had a Lemon-Lime Chess Pie before, so this whole thing is new to me. I’m super excited and I hope you are as well. Here’s the recipe: Lemon-Lime Chess Pie For the Filling: 1 1/4…

Pinterest Inspiration: Mulberry Cardigan, Black Tee, and Dark Denim

Do you ever get up in the morning, look in your closet and think, I have nothing to wear? Or do you feel totally uninspired by what you see hanging up? That was me last Friday. I think I tried three different looks before I ended up sitting at the foot of my bed and watching TV. Fridays are casual days for us at work and, as much as I love wearing my jeans, there are times when I’m…

Style Imitating Art: Bollinger Mill Covered Bridge
INSPIRATION ART WORK Bollinger Mill Covered Bridge by Daenel Vaughn-Tucker THE CURATOR This week’s inspiration piece was curated by me. I took this photo when we lived in Missouri. I used to go to the Bollinger Mill to take pictures, be alone, or just think. It was such a romantic place. I loved seeing the names and dates carved on the interior wall of the bridge. I always wondered about the people… I see so many possibilities in this image: teals, blues, browns, blacks, and even yellows and reds. And then there are the textures. What do you think you’ll wear? I can’t wait to see! MY LOOK Can you…
