Why haven’t I written here sooner? Why have I neglected my eldest URL? Well, I’ve been tending to our newborn blog. She’s our pride and joy and sometimes she makes me forget that I have other kiddies who need my love and affection. One time-strapped mamma can’t do it all!
For my and Jamie’s latest & greatest recipes, travels and culinary exploits, click over to our new website, Just Married and Cooking. We named it after our upcoming cookbook–we’re clever, aren’t we?–that’ll hit the shelves in May. The site delivers all the flavors, tips and tricks that any budding foodie could hope for.

I guess I should call my piece in Taste of the South magazine, ”S’mores Through The Ages.” How else could I explain the melty, warm chocolate sandwich’s appearance and re-appearance in my life?
Hop over to Whole Foods or Barnes & Noble to check out my piece and the insanely delicious-looking recipes. I’m thinking of trying the Peanut Butter S’more Cookie Sandwiches (dipped in chocolate!) this weekend…
In dire need of some R, R & R–Rest, Relaxation and really good wine. Looks like I’ll get that–and a fab summer veggie feast–this Friday at the beach.

P.S.–Isn’t this photo gorge? Colleen Duffley our friend, and cookbook photographer, took this shot of my cousin Steven’s organically grown zucchini, squash and baby Japanese eggplant.
We’re throwing a BBQ for 50 over the holiday weekend! Are we crazy to squeeze this in between photo shoots? Probably. I’m just hoping Baby Parker can amuse herself in the punch bowl.
The deets:

Avocado, oranges, fennel and mint–I need you.
Because it’s been a doozy of a week. Because final cookbook edits are due in seven days. Because shot lists, prop lists, grocery lists, hair, makeup and wardrobe must be finalized for a cookbook shoot 1,500 miles away…

Parker Lee, at Scribner HQ, surveying the stacks and preparing to submit our final, edited cookbook manuscript… I think she wants a trip to Disneyworld for putting up with us and our deadlines.
It’s nice to get in the kitchen and just think. Chop the cabbage, rib the peppers, cube the peaches and think. Time slows down… As a mother, the days are long, the years are short. Where are the quiet, thoughtful moments that play out like symphonies?…
