I keep hearing praises and hallelujahs about how Fall is right around the corner and I’ve even seen pumpkins and Halloween decor at our local stores, but come on, it’s still hot as I don’t know what when you step outside and the AC is cranked up way too high for all that. Don’t get… Continue reading Cocktails from the Garden
It’s become a tradition of mine to take the Monday after Thanksgiving off of work for some much-needed “prepping for Christmas” time. With the Christmas music playing too loudly, I open up my 13 bins of Christmas decor and attempt to get the house decorated just as it was the year prior. I then start… Continue reading Christmas Traditions & Comfort Food
I have such fond memories of Cinco de Mayos from years past. Memories of when I used to, not too terribly long ago, have major plans for the 5th of May each year. And by major I mean going out with friends for a giant mexican meal made up mainly of jumbo fishbowl margaritas …… Continue reading The 5th of May
Can you believe Easter is a little less than 2 weeks away?!?!? I am SO behind this year. My house isn’t decorated, I haven’t done all of the Easter Bunny’s “shopping” for him, and we don’t even know what time we’re hosting our get-together or what we’re serving, OR who all is even coming. Pretty… Continue reading Easter Eats
I’m well aware that I already claimed last year to have found the perfect cookie but here I go again about to make the exact same claim. In my defense, those perfect cookies I shared with you last February https://myhouseoflove.com/2016/02/29/the-perfect-cookie/ fall under the healthy (but not really) section while these perfect cookies I’m about to… Continue reading Pass the Nutella
Happy Thanksgiving Week Monday! How is it time for turkey already??? My husband and I hosted his family yesterday for our annual “early Thanksgiving/November birthdays” meal – nothing like killing three birds with one stone. We travel each year for Thanksgiving to see my extended family, so we started this tradition of having his family… Continue reading Time For Turkey
This time last year I had our entire house and yard decorated for Fall. Never mind that it was way too hot for pumpkins and the like – we had all the Fall goodness and it looked great until our pumpkins rotted out from the 90 degree weather that still graced the Atlanta area at… Continue reading Figgy Love
I tempted you all with a picture of this spectacular beast a couple of days ago so I thought it only fair to share the recipe with you sooner rather than later. This is by far one of my most favorite dessert recipes out of the “easy, no baking required, not good for you at… Continue reading Oreo Cheesecake Trifle
It’s sad, I know. I take a long hiatus from blogging and then make my comeback with a meatloaf recipe. I’d be disappointed too if I were one of you readers … until I tasted said meatloaf. Then I’d be A-OK because this isn’t your average meatloaf. Think creamy goat cheese, heavy garlic, sun-dried tomatoes… Continue reading Meatloaf – It’s What’s for Dinner
Just in case it wasn’t clear from all the recipes I’ve shared on my blog, I love baking. Lately I’ve been a little obsessed with scouring Pinterest, Google, cook books, magazines, and other blogs for “healthy” baking ideas – I figured if I can’t control my sweet tooth I might as well try to… Continue reading The Perfect Cookie
