Our local marina makes these and we have had them a couple times and they are so good, so I decided to try making them at home. There are a bunch of recipes online and I used the one that got pretty much all five star ratings. It’s a super simple recipe. Mississippi Pot RoastContinue reading “Mississippi Pot Roast Sandwiches”

Spring and Summer Salads–Smoked Chicken (or Turkey) Salad
I made some cherry wood smoked chicken to go with all the salads we made this week. I used the same techniques as are used in this YouTube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd1rM3CsoN0&t=23s&ab_channel=Tasty This technique may look intimidating, but it really isn’t. I had to watch the video several times the first time I made turkey this way,Continue reading “Spring and Summer Salads–Smoked Chicken (or Turkey) Salad”

I put white mums in some of my blue pitchers for the centerpiece. The place settings are yellow Fiestaware dinner plates with a Villeroy and BochContinue reading “Led by Linens”

I love our dining room chairs–arrow back cherry chairs from outside Lexington, KY–but they are not comfortable to sit in for long periods of time. I have recently learned about performanceContinue reading “A Very Mod Table for Easter/Spring”
Surrealist Table
I found the centerpiece bowl by Anthropologie at a consignment store and I thought she was really funny and I had found the salad plates at a thrift store several weeks ago, so it was time to make a table out of them. I started with a natural linen cloth and added the centerpiece bowlContinue reading “Surrealist Table”
Early Spring Tablescape
I was looking through my collection of small tablecloths and runners and found an antique one that used to belong to my husband’s grandmother.
