It’s time to link up with Anne at In Residence for this month’s Currently prompts! Here are MY responses to the prompts. How would YOU reply?!? I am CURRENTLY… consuming: less food! I’ve been using the Noom program for a couple of months now. Its food log tool (especially the visuals) has been eye-opening and incredibly helpful. (Here’s my affiliate link if you want to scope the program out. I highly recommend it!) exploring: the Biltmore rooftop! We recently camped…
Hello! Welcome to my favorite linkup of the month! Anne from In Residence assigns five prompts each month and invites us to respond to them. This month we’re discussing what we’re baking, decorating, gifting, hoping, and sending. I am CURRENTLY: baking: recipes from the November and December issues of Southern Living. I want to bake ALL THE THINGS! My doctor thinks that’s not a great plan, so I’m strategically assessing the recipes and choosing just a few! Maybe these White…
Autumn is finally here!!! Hooray! Here in Savannah we enjoyed a few days of cooler temps, but now temps and humidity are back to normal. Ah well! I’m linking up with Leslie again to share the list of things I’m hoping to do during the next few months. My Autumn Adventures! Camping. It’s no secret that Gene and I love to tent camp. We don’t camp during the summer because it’s just too hot, but come autumn we’re ready to…
I recently told you about the virtual cooking class I took from Chef Veera, and I told you I made a few of her recipes afterward. I’m excited to share them with you! Click on the headings below to get the recipes from Chef Veera’s site. She encourages us to play with the recipes to work with what we have or what we prefer, so I’ve shared my personal tweaks under each recipe. Zucchini Noodles with Pesto Now THIS is…
I’m SO excited to share this with you guys! Gene and I visited Greenville, South Carolina earlier this year–BC, Before COVID–and we discovered their local Oil & Vinegar shop. I immediately fell in love with it. I didn’t know much at all about olive oils or vinegar, and/but I love learning new things! The gentleman working that day (I think his name was Robert) was kind, friendly, and incredibly helpful. He guided us through the shop and suggested some oils…
Each month Anne at In Residence gives us five interesting prompts for bloggers (and anyone else!) to respond to. It’s fun to see each person’s takes on how those words are CURRENTLY applying to him/her. Since I didn’t post last month, I’m doing a two-fer today! I am CURRENTLY… feeling: itchy to travel somewhere! I KNOW I’m not alone in this one! We’re making tentative plans, so circle back later and see what/if/when anything happens! wearing: graphic tees. Apparently this…

I’m late to the Currently party this month, but I don’t want to skip it! This month’s prompts from Anne at In Residence are making, missing, learning, loving, and reading. I am Currently… making: sourdough bread. This is on my Springtime Adventure List, and I’m happy to have FINALLY done this thing I’ve wanted to do for a long, long time. My starter did just okay for a couple of weeks until I discovered that whole wheat flour was the…
Whoops! I’m a little overdue with my update! About a month ago I posted my list of things I hope to do during this season. You can read that post HERE. And now let’s take a look at how things have gone! ✅Finish eating the chocolates from the Advent calendar I bought for my husband. DONE! Just LOOK how productive I’ve been! Actually, I’m pretty sure my husband helped finish this off. Since it IS his Advent calendar to…
Spring has sprung! And it’s time to set some goals for the new season. I thought about skipping Springtime Adventures (like I did during winter), but I decided that this might be the very BEST time to set some fun goals. So very much of life has tumped over lately due to COVID-19, but we can still opt to write out a simple list of things we want to do! Yes, they’ll need to be home-centric. That’s okay. Home is…
