So, here's a story: A couple days before our wedding, a certain then-fiancé of mine decided he wanted ackee and saltfish with festivals instead of fried dumplins. Our dear friend Michelle was in town for the wedding, so she volunteered to treat everyone to this special breakfast. (We won't even discuss the fact that, somehow, though this breakfast was made by MY friend in MY mother's house where I lived I saw not one piece of ackee, saltfish or festival... RUDE!) Instead I must live with this ... continue reading...
Our Everyday God
I think the King James Version of the Bible—all the thees, thous, thiseths and thateths— makes God seem more intimidating and unapproachable than He really is.

Thank God for an abundance of gift cards and registry completion ... continue reading...

It was delicious, and perfect for the non meat eaters that were coming to celebrate with us. This time, though, I experimented with a little ground turkey and some extra veggies to ... continue reading...
Lavender Sage Buttermilk Biscuits
It's official. I'm married to a carbaholic. I mean, it works for him... He enjoys every minute of the 2+ hours he spends at the gym each day, and even more all the sweets and carbs he probably burns off walking back to the kitchen for seconds. I, however, am relegated to living vicariously through his metabolism. I bake, he eats. It works for the most part, until we reach those tense moments where I'm still photographing and he just wants to eat. ... continue reading...
