The fullness of the holidays brings lots of decorations beginning with Autumn pumpkins running through Christmas. Pumpkins and pine cones scattered around, and ceramic turkeys get added to for Thanksgiving, then up goes a tree with red and green everywhere. January brings a desire for cleaner lines and less clutter. For years I have done …

Perfect Breakfast Eggs
I have been making eggs for months now, trying to get that perfect point where the yolk is no longer liquid and runny, but not fully cooked like a hard boiled egg. I only do eggs a couple of times a month, always on Sundays. I wanted to make them without a lot of effort, …
Scrappy Project
Last October, I went through the three 2-gallon bags of scraps I had to in order to organize them and use them up. I found a huge number of half square triangles that became the Offset Diamond Quilt. After I pulled out all those, I used up a bunch of pieces cut to 3-inches for …
Getting Organized – Saving Recipes
When DH and I were married back in the 70s, we were barely able to make ends meet. I was a fledgling cook, with many disasters in the kitchen yet to come. I was relying on Julia Child to teach me, and I faithfully watched her French Chef cooking show every week. The local paper …

Dreaming of My Next Garden
As we near the end of the holiday rush, it is still weird to have it so warm outside. But, that only makes me think more of spring and my next garden. Meanwhile my indoor plants are just maintaining, growing a few leaves but not flowering. I think they do not get enough sunlight from …
The Best of 2015 at From My Carolina Home
What would you say if you had to pick just 5 posts from this year as your best or favorites? That is the task in order to link up a Best OF 2015 post for a challenge linky at Meadow Mist Designs. This isn't going to be easy, as I blog about such a wide …
Christmas Breakfast and Tablescape
Christmas breakfast is a time for hearty but easy. Something that can practically make itself while coffee and presents get the first attention of the day. The baked egg casserole fits this bill nicely, you know the one that you make the night before and put into the oven cold. I add some Cranberry Scones …
