SHELLEY NEWMAN, a fabulous artist from Canada with a distinctively different style and color palette. I love her colorful landscapes made up of wonderful shapes, thick paint and gorgeous color. From the magnificent trees (love!) to the rivers – every one is fabulous, which is why they sell so quickly.

Who can’t resist the ubiquitous orange? Sure, they may be available everywhere all year long, but you know it’s true season is NOW! They are 100% tastier than they are other times of the year (although they’re still good then they are no comparison). And who can’t use a Vitamin C boost right now, right?

Charm, right? The first thing I thought of when I saw the scallop shingles in the gable area of this home. It reminds me of my parents Victorian home with the gingerbread trim. It’s an oldie, with oodles of charm. This is the best of both worlds. New construction and old world charm!

Roasted vegetables are the best. Roasting adds a sweetness that is undeniable. You will eat a lot more veggies without even trying, especially if they’re cooked one day and ready for the week. Read on to see what I made with some of these veggies (along with sautéed kale and walnuts). #outofthisworld It was also nice to have sides for the week, just heat and eat! Cauliflower, okra, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, red onions, golden beets, and broccoli!

Heaven, right? Absolutely! We do not take for granted the ability to get the freshest seafood on the planet.. Crosby’s is a short distance from the house – it’s where we go to buy fresh seafood. Everyone there is so nice and helpful. But one of the biggest bonuses when we go to buy fresh shrimp is…

Like many of us, we’ve curtailed our dining out – which isn’t fun, especially since we just started back (2-3 restaurant visits) before numbers started ramping up again. Fred had a great idea, Crosby’s Seafood. We wanted to head that way to pick up some fresh shrimp to cook at home, so we went while the food truck was open. WOW! So fresh, they’re actively working on the dock and serving your seafood – it just doesn’t get fresher!

What a spectacular plan. Not too big, not too small, just right. Porches ALWAYS draw my attention, especially a screened porch! I think the dormers add such charm. This is another wonderful plan for Southern Living by Moser Design Group!

Leanne Ford. I absolutely love her style. She is know for painting rooms white, which sound typical, but hers are anything but! How she can envision a room and make it come to fruition is a gift. She shares so much, from her Spotify playlists, to clothing choices and paint colors (YES! Paint colors!). This is one of my favorite t-shirts…

Well, we are having a warm winter for the most part. A few cold days (and a few wildly windy days that brought our neighbors trash into our yard, shingles from someones house in our backyard and about 471 lawn bags full of leaves in the pool skimmer. We didn’t lose power, so we’re thankful for that, but whew! This photo was clearly taken on a calm day…

I receive emails from America’s Test Kitchen (ATK), which also includes Cooks Country (where this recipe originated). I LOVED the idea, changed some things to make it my own and tried a few versions. Both were fabulous. Turns out there ARE good fish sticks, I took their advice…
