See recipe below, it’s tasty (but not salmony), has a great homemade (healthy) mustard dill sauce, sautéed green beans with almonds AND the best roasted potatoes EVER. Here goes…

Are you looking to escape reality for a bit? Jet off to another place and time? Hear about adventures that you may not otherwise take? Well, pick up a copy of People We Meet On Vacation by Emily Henry. What a joy it was to read and it flew by far too quickly. I can’t wait to read more of her books. If you’ve read Emily Henry…

We had a few errands to run the other evening. So we headed out expecting the every day traffic, and it didn’t disappoint. So we took an alternate route and this was our view. How stunning to live in such a beautiful area. January in Charleston, sunset. It kept getting better and better. I mean, THESE CLOUDS!!!! Wow…

New Year, new YOU! Isn’t that what they say when we’re all trying to start the new year off right? Cooking healthier meals is always a big help, and this recipe is so good. It’s originally from Whole Foods from many years ago. The recipe made enough for a football team. Below is my version of the recipe. Paired down and a few changes made. The taste is out of this world and great for leftovers, here it is…

So far, 2026 is proving to be a motivational, “get things done” kind of year. From drawers to moving furniture around (again) and the subsequent cleaning that comes with each move, it’s exciting to be in the same house, yet have it feel so different. Future 2026, make a shift from white walls to walls with color? We’ve always loved saturated color, darker colors. Then made a change to all white. Fresh. Now, it’s getting tiresome. Especially with all…

Well, now that we’re a few days into the New Year – how is it going? Sending wishes that it will be your best year yet! Many of us are striving to be healthier, eat cleaner, exercise more. Coming soon, a few recipes to help with that endeavor (and I’m sure a few that won’t). My philosophy is that to be good (eating wise), it’s ok to not be perfect. Allow yourself a treat now and then and then get back to it!

Happy New Year!! It’s hard to believe that today starts YEAR 15 of my ARTFOODHOME.COM blog! Crazy how quickly the years fly by (and to think I wrote it daily for over 10 years!) – these days I try to write 4 posts/week, sometimes it ends up only being 3. What I hope to share with you this year…

New Year’s Eve, 2025. Where will you be? I know there are so many wonderful plans being made. Are you one that can’t wait to get out on the town, visit friends, head to a party (or two!), have some great food, or are you one that prefers to stay home. Nice and quiet, maybe keeping your dog calm from the fireworks? I just read a few good tips to help with that…

January is almost upon us so we thought we would get a head start on health and fitness and head out on a fast walk. Somewhere different. We usually walk our neck of the woods, which is beautiful, but… It’s so nice to get out and walk somewhere different. Different views which are so nice! I had to do a good deal of walk/running to keep up with my husband because I kept stopping to take a photo…

🎄 Until next time… ✨ Take a moment to be grateful for at least one thing today – TODAY will be a good day, you’ve got this!
What a magical night, Christmas Eve! Between the visions of sugarplums dancing in little ones heads, the preparation, the cooking, baking, shopping, wrapping, delivering and merry making, THIS is the eve of Christmas. Tomorrow, a celebration for many… But, I’m also remembering those who may not have a lot this time of year and may need a little help with food…

I love this photo. Wouldn’t you agree that this image embodies the true joy of the Christmas season? The simplicity of how it’s done amazes me. The simple beauty of the Christmas lights against the river and the nighttime sky = a scene I treasure. How are you decorating for the holiday season?

Where was I when I took this photo? Is it a close up of a rocky surface mimicking mountains or taken from a distance with actual mountains. HOW can the sunrise be so bright and magnificent? We were out of town a while back, and let me tell you, the views were astounding! Take a guess where we were…

Happy Wednesday! Where does the time go? It seems like it was just Halloween! Thanksgiving flew by and now Christmas is very, very close! For many of us there is so much to do to prepare. It’s good to start early, which I used to be good at, but now am running behind like most of you. It’s all good, we can only try to get everything on our lists done, right? Wondering what cool place I was at with such a beautiful view (in the image) – see below…

I love taking photos of vignettes that hold special interest to me. I love the lines of this table/desk, the lamp illuminating the cool figure (known as a wooden mannequin for drawing or a “manikin”). I was outside when I took the photo and the trees, shrubs, even the Spanish moss is detectable in the reflections in the window. I love that it’s waving hello…
