The first time I tried a homemade pop-tart was a couple of years ago when we were visiting Washington D.C. It was SO. DANG. GOOD. and I knew it was something that I needed to add to my recipe repertoire ASAP!
Puff Pastry Strawberry Pop-Tarts
Not Your Mama’s Pimento Cheese
Pimento cheese is truly a Southern staple. When we moved to Mississippi it seemed like I found it on every restaurant’s menu in some form or fashion. Whether it was by itself as an appetizer or a pimento cheese grilled cheese. One of the things that I think makes the Deep South so special is all of the traditions, especially around food.

Ham & Asparagus Quiche
One of the things I’ve missed the most during COVID-19 is eating at my favorite local restaurants. And I especially miss going out to lunch with my girlfriends! My favorite spot for lunch in Jackson is Crazy Cat — they have everything from strawberry salad, to daily quiche specials, and always the BEST dessert options. My go-to order is their Ham & Asparagus Quiche with a strawberry salad. I’ve been missing it so much I decided to create my own recipe at home and it is DELICIOUS y’all!

Nursery Inspiration
Thinking about our baby girl’s nursery has definitely lifted my spirits during COVID-19. I am so so thankful to have an exciting project to work on and look forward too! I’ve found lots of inspiration on Pinterest & have put together my own inspiration board. One of my favorite interior design tips is to mix old with new! Since all of the furniture will be brand new, I’m going to add in some antique botanical prints, an Italian tole chandelier that I bought years ago, and blanc de chine lamp.

Blueberry Banana Crumble Bread
There is just something about having a fresh loaf of breakfast bread that is such a luxury to me. Maybe because I can literally roll out of bread and immediately have something super delicious and made from scratch without having to do any work. 😉
Baked Brie with Fig Preserves
Over the past few weeks, most of us have been looking for some type of comfort. I’m not sure about you, but I personally seek comfort when I cannot control some of the circumstances around me. With all of this time at home, I’ve found myself really honing in on the little things in life that bring me joy, peace, and comfort. I’ve been spending a lot of my time reading, working out in the yard, walking, experimenting with new recipes, listening to music, getting lost in cookbooks, scheming about ideas for the baby’s nursery, and last but not least making comfort food. I’m pleased to introduce you to one of my absolute favorite comfort foods or shall I say appetizer! 😉
No-Churn Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream
Over the past two weeks, while being isolated at home, I’ve been trying to find pleasure in simple things. We live on a wonderful street that is full of cute kiddos who are always playing outside. I’ve really taken note of their creativity when it comes to entertaining themselves with the simplest of things. I myself have tried to return to the little things in life that bring me joy, especially during this stressful time when we feel out of control. A few of these things include baking, getting lost in a cookbook without any distractions (aka my phone), listening to relaxing music, reading, flipping through some of my favorite interior design books, organizing my closet for spring, dreaming up designs for the nursery on Pinterest… the list goes on & on.
