Most Affordable Wines – Best White and Reds Under $20
Best Affordable Wines If there’s one thing I have learned from my parents, it’s always to have a good bottle of wine on hand. Definitely not the most important lesson, but one that sticks with me, especially when the holidays roll around. My parents are seasoned vets when it comes to hosting guests for the holidays. Both were born and raised in the South, so southern hospitality runs through our veins. Growing up, they embraced an open door policy, and I have carried that same principle ...

Delicious Deviled Eggs
Classic Deviled Eggs with a Modern Twist Many southern deviled egg recipes include pickles, and I'm not opposed! My first true love is pickles.

I know plenty of people who like them, and I am not here to be the pickle judge... While I'm listing off the things I don't like, yellow mustard is one of them. So now I've named two classic ingredients ... Read More about Delicious Deviled Eggs
