Red Beans and Rice
This Red Beans and Rice recipe is bursting with flavor. Eric and I love the spicy kick it has! It is also a very forgiving recipe...once you get used to it, you can add or subtract ingredients that sound good or you have on hand.

Citrus Water Punch
Last night I taught a cooking class with my sister Brittany on Easy Entertaining! It was fun! We were gong to snap a couple of pictures--but we were a little busy and forgot!

It is a very beautiful drink to serve at a party--but the
