If you ever have the opportunity, I highly recommend visiting Blue Ridge to experience the train ride through the mountains. You will enjoy the comfortable seating and wide windows overlooking the mountainside, and the friendly service.
Slow Cooker Bacon Mac & Cheese
This dish is perfect for Thanksgiving because it frees up oven space and travels well. Shred your own cheese, using a food processor or hand grater. There won’t be any leftovers!

Fresh Cranberry Sauce
Thanksgiving is upon us, and whether you’re team canned cranberry or fresh, you’ve got to have this classic accompaniment on turkey day. I grew up eating the canned cranberry sauce and I must admit, I love the little ridges and all. The fresh stuff is good too, but it’s a different experience all together.
The lemon juice is the star ingredient in this recipe, inspired by the one and only Ina Garten. I use cranberry juice instead of water to reinforce the flavors. The cranberries simmering on the stovetop perfumes the whole home and really sets the mood for the holidays.
Gobble, gobble!

Tex-Mex Summer Corn and Avocado Salad
I’ve got a bright, colorful salad that’s perfect for Labor Day, made with summer corn. With a combination of heirloom tomatoes, garden-grown jalapeno peppers and fresh lime juice, this salad comes together quickly, and has all the textures that make a dish sing: crunch from the bell pepper, creaminess from the avocado, sweetness from the corn and a little heat from the jalapenos.

Squash Casserole, A Classic Southern Side Dish
Squash Casserole is a Southern staple, and I love to make it when yellow crookneck squash are in season and readily available. We had homecoming recently at my church, and I made this Squash Casserole and a Blueberry Cobbler. Sadly, I didn’t get a proper picture of either dish, but I promise to update this post next time I make it.
Buttery crackers, sharp cheddar cheese and herbs de Provence set this dish apart. Enjoy!

Potatoes Au Gratin with Infused Cream
Potatoes Au Gratin are a thing of beauty. There is no other side dish I associate with Easter Sunday more. The perfect accompaniment to an oven baked spiral ham or a filet mignon, this creamy, cheesy casserole of thinly sliced potatoes and onion is flavored with aromatics and cream, and baked in a warm oven until the cheese is melted and the potatoes are fork tender. It feels elevated and special, as an offering for the table should on such a celebratory occasion.

Bake these Campfire Cookies for a real treat
One of the notable things I learned in culinary school from the pastry chef was how to create dishes that not only taste good, but evoke feelings and create experiences. These campfire cookies are reminiscent of a warm fire, roasting marshmallows and eating sticky s’mores but without all the mess! With crushed graham crackers, toasted mini-marshmallows, and slightly melted chocolate, this may be my new favorite cookie of all time. Enjoy them with a cold glass of milk.

Home Office & Gym Remodel: Coastal Farmgirl Style
This is a food blog, but today I’m sharing my newly remodeled home office and gym design with you! It’s the space where I do all of my writing, and that’s the motivation behind this project. As many of you know, I’m writing a new book, but before I get started, I’m setting myself up for success with a functional office space that doubles as a home gym.
In addition to food and cooking, I love interior design. This is the first space in my home that I’ve designed from start to finish, and I love how it turned out.
