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.

One Savannah Evacuee’s Account: Waiting and Watching Hurricane Irma

We unplugged electronics and brought inside all of our outdoor patio furniture, including the grill and my potted herbs.

During a natural disaster, when one is forced to sort through their belongings to decide what to take and what to leave behind, it provides perspective. Tonight I sit on my parent’s windy patio in Blythe, Georgia, a quaint little community outside of Augusta, where my husband and I, along with our 10-pound Shih Tzu, Ewok, and my in-laws have evacuated from Savannah.
