Jeff Loves – Veranda Home Platter
My favorite shot in the Spring Catalog and maybe of the past three years of catalogs is the shot on page 27 of the English catalog. I pick 93407 Veranda Home Platter as my product pick this week but really I want it to be the complete stoneware pottery line because of the liberation of writing on pottery!!! Imagine all… [read more]
Owls are Here, There, Everywhere!
I’ve always been fascinated by owls. Known for their solitary and nocturnal ways, these beautiful birds of prey are iconic symbols of intelligence and wisdom (who doesn’t wish to be as “wise as an owl”?). These quirky, wide-eyed creatures flew into the style spotlight back in the… [read more]
Babka for Breakfast
I’ve had babka on the brain ever since that episode of Seinfeld when Jerry and Elaine were desperate for a loaf of this amazingly flavorful bread. When I lived in New York, babka was everywhere but here in Texas, not so much. I’ve never tried to make babka because it can… [read more]

Here’s to Grandma Gillis & Blueberry Crumble Tart!
This family photo’s one of my favorites because it shows what a character my grandmother was. I’ve never known a more “proper lady” than Martha Gillis so imagine my surprise when she posed with a cigar in her mouth! This was the last time Grandmother’s “boys” were… [read more]
The Lounging Chef’s Pork Chops Extraordinaire
“Labor Less, Accomplish More!” That’s my mantra in most things (after all–don’t we all love “working like a dog?”) but especially when entertaining. So, if like me, you’re hosting a Labor Day picnic, give this entree a spin. It’s designed to be cooked in advance which will free you up to hang with friends and family instead of slaving away… [read more]
Unexpected Picnic Guest–Cajun Mac & Cheese!
Outdoor dining’s in full swing right now and, like you, I’m always on the look-out for something surprising to serve. So I was thrilled to come across a new cookbook that focuses on my all-time favorite side dish–macaroni and cheese.
Time for Some Lemon-Aid!
One of the things I love most about Summer is kicking back with a big ol’ frosty cold glass of lemonade. Sweet, yet sassy, it always hits the spot and now that’s true for decorating, too. If you love yellow, this is your time!
