So, today is National Donut Day! We’re usually not big on holidays, or donuts, so….oh, who am I kidding! We love holidays! We love donuts, too!

Grilled Shish Kabobs
This recipe is near and dear to our hearts. When we are exhausted from doing gardening and yard work on a Spring or Summer day, this is usually our go-to meal. Simple ingredients, simple preparation, and knock-out flavor!
Easter Sunday
Since we moved into the new house, we’ve had several parties – the annual Holiday party, Trey’s birthday bash, a Mexican-inspired cooking party – but we haven’t actually had a dinner party. Having heavy finger food that keeps people moving and conversing is very different than having to entertain nine people around a dinner table.
Peach iced tea
Being a true southern boy, I was raised on sweet iced tea. I remember my mawmaw making it in a big jar and mixing it around with her hand before pouring me a glass when I was little. Whether it is hot or cold outside, a big, tall glass of sweet iced tea hits the spot.
I thought that sweet tea couldn’t get any better – until I had a glass of peach iced tea at Barnsley Gardens in my hometown. Being a Georgia boy, you can’t go wrong with peach ;) If you ever have a chance to go to Barnsley, you have to try the iced tea. And if you ever run into the Fairy Godmother while you’re there, tell her Sven sent you.
After a few tries, I found the perfect recipe.
Scallops and mushrooms over angel hair
We have both been super busy the past few weeks with work, doctor’s appointments, family visiting from out of town, Valentine’s Day, a birthday bash to plan – Trey and I have barely seen each other – even more than usual. But I wanted to share this recipe from a few weeks ago.
It was Saturday night and Trey had to work late. Since Trey isn’t a big seafood person, I decided it was time to “treat yo self!”
Birthday bash
Last night we celebrated Trey’s birthday be having a few friends and co-workers over. It ended up being about 15 people over and we had a blast! We wanted to have some sort of food that wasn’t quite appetizers but not quite dinner so people would mingle about and not have to sit with a full plate.
