My name is Stephanie and I have a problem. I buy things in season in bulk, then freeze them…and then never use them. And now my freezer is FULL! Between hatch green chiles, rhubarb, huckleberries, zucchini, homemade pesto and brown bananas I have no room … This post is sponsored by Imperial Sugar. I have received sample products […]
I can’t believe this trip was 2 years ago. Nothing like procrastinating writing posts! We should have been in Italy this summer, but…we all know how that turned out. To satisfy the travel bug I’ve had fun looking through pictures and reliving these trips. If …

Hi friends! Things are getting a bit hectic around LDB right now, which is odd for this time of year. I feel like late winter/early spring there’s usually nothing going on. We started January by making a list of goals for the blog this year … If you remember, Kelly and I originally started doing Monthly […]
I warned you, didn’t I? Summer = all peach everything around here. But summer also means hurricane season and this one is already a doozy. Living in Louisiana we were lucky to be far enough north hurricanes weren’t really a concern, but you have never truly seen a storm until you have seen a storm […]
