Patriotic Tablescape
Hey friends! Happy Friday! Today I'm teaming up with Jackie and Liz for the Sweet Moda Project with a patriotic theme to help you get ready for the 4th of July. I've got a fun and festive patriotic tablescape to share with you today. My house sure is festive right now with all the red, white and blue.

Sriracha Peach BBQ Sauce
Summer is here and that can only mean one thing: outdoor entertaining! Fire up the grill this weekend and make this homemade Sriracha Peach BBQ Sauce to kick off the summer. A couple of sweet friends sent me a delicious box of fresh, Georgia peaches last week! I had a few very ripe peaches left and decided to create a barbecue sauce with them. So Sriracha Peach BBQ Sauce was born. Around here, spicy food is life and I'd probably add even more Sriracha next time. Serve with Chicken … [Read more...]
Putting Together a Patriotic Porch
I'm teaming up again with my friends at the Sweet Moda Blog Project and this week our theme is plants. So while my plants were thriving and looking pretty, I had to snap some pictures and reveal my patriotic porch to you! Plant Lady?

Because for that, I have none! ;) I just bought what looked pretty and were in … [Read more...]
Coffee Filter Garland
I'm teaming up with the ladies of the Sweet Moda Blog Project and this week our theme is coffee filters. I love how fun this coffee filter garland is hanging over our vintage door headboard. A window display at a local boutique store is the inspiration behind this coffee filter garland. The garland in the display was made out of coffee filters and scrapbook paper; I just remember loving how fun and unique the garland was and thinking I should make something similar. That time is … [Read more...]
Jalapeño Ranch Dip
There is a Mexican restaurant in town that has the best jalapeño ranch dip. They don't bring it with the chips and salsa though, you have to ask for the special dip. It's so good, I could drink it by the bottle. We go there for the dip. And tacos. Lots and lots of tacos. A few years ago I set out to find a recipe for the jalapeño ranch dip so I could make it at home whenever I wanted. Of course I checked out Pinterest first. A lot of the copycat recipes out there didn't seem to be the … [Read more...]
