Helloooooo, paradise of the South! Shortly I will be Charleston-bound and I just can't wait. We are staying at a fabby-fab hotel and the grand finale of the weekend will be a very pretty wedding. I still have to figure out what to wear, but I'm just thrilled for the weekend to begin!

Girlfriend dinners. Monday night I happened to be in the same city as one of my besties! We met at Lucky 32 in Greensboro for dinner and had the best time just chatting, giggling, catching up, sharing stories. My dinner was awesome - cornmeal crusted catfish, pintos with chow-chow, deviled eggs, and green beans. I think you call that kind of dinner a SUPPER. Tell me that isn't mouthwatering!

Going organic (mostly). I have been making a big effort to go organic on fruits and veggies recently. This week I was out of town three nights for work, so I chopped up peaches and stored them in Tupperwares to bring to the hotel since I knew there was a fridge in the room. So much better than relying on hotel food and restaurant food the entire time. And while organic produce is more expensive, I feel so good about this choice. An investment into my future. :)

This week I received an email asking for my permission for one of my recipes to be pinned to the Betty Crocker Pinterest page. Ummm, please, be my guest! The exact pin (found here) is on their Recipes Betty Loves board. What an honor!

Today is Friday the 13th which I sort of love ... am I alone in this one? Maybe I'm a little strange in that regard! Tell me -- are you superstitious? I don't have any qualms about seeing a black cat, but I don't walk under ladders, I leave out of the same door I entered from, and I knock on wood like it's my job.

Now, your turn! I can't wait to see your Five On Friday!
PS: I had some questions about the
cute bakery in Greenville I mentioned
last week with the amazing
rosemary shortbread. It is called
the Bakery Off Augusta. :)
Ahhh that is so cool you'll be on the Betty Crocker pin page!! Whoo hoo! Congrats :)
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting Betty Crocker is pinning you! Eeek! I'm also all about going organic! I have been reading The Honest Life which has definitely made me want to be better about it! Happy Friday! Have a fun weekend!
ReplyDeleteSo funny. I make that apple dish but instead of melting the butter, I crumb the butter and the cake mix together with my fingers then sprinkle it on top of the apples. We call it an apple crisp!
ReplyDeleteLucky 32 is soooo good! I live in VA but was recently in Cary, NC and ate at their other location. Everything we tried was perfectly southern & so delicious!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy Charleston!!!
ReplyDeleteOmgosh - i am so jealous about your recipe on the BC Pin page!!! How cool! I definitely need to make this ASAP!
ReplyDeleteHave SO much fun in Charleston! What a perfect time of year to go! Hope you took the day off. :)
Have fun in Charleston! Just up the road from us! And organic... what made you decide to do that? I'm an advocate against organic (just because I was born and raised on a conventional farm) and am curious about what you've seen about the health benefits! :) Have a great weekend at the wedding. Hopefully that cooler weather is on the way!!
ReplyDeleteBetty Crocker, what what?! Thats awesome! Jealous of your Charleston trip- we are wanting to go there maybe next Spring! Enjoy!!
