I clearly have too much time on my hands. I spent my weekend making homemade enchilada sauce and smoking a brisket (full disclosure-husband did that), and I prepared these delicious smoked beef brisket enchiladas with the homemade enchilada sauce. Wanna give it a try? You can smoke the brisket in a smoker, or you could…
If you’ve been the boutique hotel slash art museum in Bentonville, you know that green penguin anywhere. It’s part of the whimsical decor at the 21c Museum Hotel. And if you get here in the next couple of weeks, you can catch the final days of the The Future is Female art exhibit. Cool pieces…
‘Tis the season to stop if you see a school bus. It’s Arkansas law. School for most Arkansas school children began today, and there is no better reminder than the present with school buses going to and fro. Kids will be in this routine for another 180 days, give or take a few, and it…
I have this thing about me. I like food. And I like talking to people on airplanes. I met the gal who owns this adorable culinary shop in Long Island, outside of Manhattan, a couple of years ago. She became my food bestie and when she posts recipes, you need to take them to the…
Those of us who laughed our way through life living vicariously through the antics of our favorite redhead gathered in movie theaters across the country last night.

There is some dollar taco at a place that rhymes with Murger Ming which got my husband (and then…
The backyard of our publisher has been receiving more than a little face lift. It’s actually a massive renovation. Heather and Joel Baker and their two teenagers live in a secluded area outside of Little Rock that was home for some really old trees. Since the Bakers are putting in a pool, they had to…
Last week during our heat wave, the publisher Heather Baker and I thought it would be a good idea to wear cute dresses and go sip on cocktails out at Goodwin Manor. (There are so many “OH MY GOODNESS” moments on that property, but that’s for another time). The event was the inaugural shindig for…
We have told you that our publisher, Heather Baker, has been chosen as this year’s Woman of the Year for Women’s Own Worth (W.O.W.) , a charity devoted solely to helping women and their families escape the brutality of abuse. The event is Wowapalooza, and it will be held in October, but the organization needs…
Necessity is the mother of invention, right? Well, it was necessary that I cooked a pizza on Saturday night. I didn’t have my tools with me, because we were at our lake house on Greers Ferry Lake. So I did what any red-blooded Arkansan would do – I went to Walmart. And of course, they…
