Explore the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway: A Fall Adventure

Rebekah (right) and her husband Kurt (left) get ready to board the Blue Ridge Scenic Railway in Blue Ridge, GA., Nov. 2025.

For as long as I can remember, my family has always taken a trip in the fall “to see the leaves.” That’s because when you grow up in South Georgia (below Atlanta), sometimes the leaves do not change color until much later in the season. So, usually in October, my mom would take us to Gatlinburg, Tenn. or the North Georgia area, visiting little mountain towns like Helen and Dahlonega. I have so many fond memories of eating at the inviting pancake houses, riding the yellow sky lift, shopping in the antique malls and stopping at the lookout points to take pictures of the rainbow of color on the mountaintops. I’ve lived in Savannah for more than a decade, and on the coast, we definitely have to get out-of-town to experience the seasons!

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.

Home Office & Gym Remodel: Coastal Farmgirl Style

Hey, I’m Rebekah and this is my new home office and gym design! Let me show you how it all came together.

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.

Food Network Here I Come!!

One fine day in the early spring of 2013, I was cruising around Statesboro, Georgia in my black Grand Prix, when I had a light-bulb moment. At the time, I had been blogging for about two years, and as I considered where I wanted to take my food writing and culinary entertainment side gig, I thought, “Some days, all I need is a camera crew.” It was a simple idea; one that would soon come to fruition and catapult me into a world of cooking like I had never known before.
