Summer Garden Series: Rosemary
There is nothing quite like the scent of fresh rosemary – many in our neighborhood grow it in their yards and I love getting big wiffs of the crisp, pleasant aroma on my nightly walks.
In this post in my summer garden series, I’ll share with you how easy it is to grow this plentiful herb so you can enjoy its aromatic benefits as well as its uses in the kitchen any time you want! Continue reading
Tori’s Thai Curry
I love all kinds of curry, but I especially love Thai curry. There are some great Thai restaurants in Atlanta, but they can get pricey if we go on a regular basis. I decided to try making my own curry and see if I could get a similar result. I have to say, it’s pretty darn close and saves us a lot of money. It’s also fairly easy to make – prepping the vegetables is the most time-consuming part. Continue reading
Summer Garden Series: Tomato
Tomatoes are the epitome of summer foods – bright, fresh, versatile and full of flavor, and they seem to go perfectly in every single dish I make this time of year.
Last year, I tried to grow tomatoes in containers on my balcony with no success. I got big plants and plenty of yellow blooms, but no fruit.
I was disappointed, but determined to try again so I’m going to share with you in this summer garden series post what I did differently this year Continue reading

Summer Garden Series: Chives
While some of my veggie plants may be struggling with all this rain, for the most part many of my herbs are not. Another food that’s doing pretty well are the chives – which is great for me because I love putting them in just about everything. Their low-maintenance needs for growth are perfect for a container garden. As part of my summer garden series, I’m going to share with you just how it easy it is to have fresh chives on hand all the time. Continue reading
CLT to the ATL: Part 1
It was so wonderful to have my friends Lindsey and Dan come for a visit last weekend with their sweet baby Adeline and their dog Nya. Lindsey and I have known each other since middle school, but have become much closer over the years, especially since she lives in Charlotte, NC and it’s not far for visits a few times a year.
The bf and I were busy all week re-doing the guest bathroom, so we were more than happy for a weekend of fun! When they arrived on Friday evening, the dogs went crazy! Stella and Nya are BFFs, and Chelsea was more than happy to get in on the play. Continue reading
