Last weekend Kate and I traveled to my hometown of Kingwood, Texas (a suburb of Houston) to celebrate my cousin Liza and her future baby boy. I love love LOVE throwing a party, y’all… especially baby showers! It’s subtle, but if you look closely you’ll notice we went with a woodland creature theme. I love how everything turned out. Our family can’t wait to add a little boy to the mix!
Read MoreY’all I am laughing so hard @ myself right now because I know this iPhone photo does NOT make these mashed potatoes look very appetizing. In fact, I considered sharing this recipe without a photo at all, but ultimately I decided it was important to give you a reference point for how they’re supposed to look when finished. I’m not a photographer or a chef or a food blogger… I just really love good food. Basically it’s amateur hour over here, and I’m hoping you’ll look past that fact and trust that I’d never share a substandard recipe on this blog. All that being said… this is my grandmother’s mashed potato recipe.
Read MoreAs promised on Instagram, today I’m excited to share with y’all one of my very favorite cold-weather recipes! Beef Bourguignon (i.e. French pot roast). My husband calls this a “Liz signature dish”. Rest assured, there aren’t many of those! To be honest, I’m still working on my go-to dinner menu. You know like a rotating mix of easy yet delicious and healthy recipes I can put on the table week after week. Now that I’ve got a little mouth to feed, getting this figured out is more of a priority. I’ll get there eventually! However, please know that traditional Beef Bourguignon does not fall into the “easy weeknight meal” category. I consider it more of a special occasion meal because of the time and work involved. It’s a great option to cook if you’re having friends or family over and you want to impress them. Or if you’re someone like me who finds an afternoon cooking in the kitchen with a nice glass of wine a relaxing past time… this is a great dish for that.
Read MoreThis past weekend I co-hosted a bridal shower for one of my oldest and best friends Emily. I’ve shared several pictures on Instagram already, but I wanted to share some more here on the blog for posterity’s sake. It’s too pretty not to! We chose a blush, cream, and gold color scheme to coordinate with the bride’s wedding colors. I share all of our vendors at the bottom of the post.
