Kayaking in Fripp Inlet
I had the pleasure of going kayaking in Fripp Inlet when visiting Beaufort, South Carolina, and there's simply nothing better than gliding quietly through the water with a paddle in hand. It's the ultimate relaxation. Fripp Inlet lies between Fripp Island and Hunting Island, and it's all part of the Sea Islands, a tidal and barrier island chain. … [Read more...]

Cajun Cheesesteak Sandwich
Everyone has their favorite version of a cheesesteak sandwich, right? Well, here's one of my favorite ways to twist it a bit. My Cajun cheesesteak sandwich recipe adds a zesty kick of flavor to the classic, and it's absolutely delicious!

Easy Tex-Mex Stuffed Sweet Potatoes
This post is sponsored by Netflix #StreamTeam. Even though I don't live in the Midwest anymore, the winter is still pretty tough for me to get through. It gets dark sooo early, there aren't many sunshine-y days, and I just feel like hibernating. Lately all I've wanted to do is stay inside and watch Netflix...so that's exactly what I've been doing. And I've … [Read More...]
