"Meat and Three...glasses of wine" could be the theme for this 2013 Charleston Wine + Food Festival. Here's a peek at my Cypress-Grocery-Lee Bros.-Lata-Booze Cruise weekend whirlwind, plus more
After a Saturday night full of food (I'm talking vats of oysters and an open-faced pig roast) and dancing, we scouted out two of the highlights of SEWE weekend: those swooping birds and diving dogs
As a Valentine's present to me, we tried it, with comical results... But here are 5 ways yoga benefits our marriage, WITHOUT him giggling on the mat next to me.
After juicing just about every fruit or veggie out there over the past week, I've made my decision. Here are my thoughts about this new "health" fad (plus a recipe for the Green Juice pictured here!)
This elegant remake of the good ol' American BLT will have you thinking again. Filled with avocado mousse, salty bacon, and tomatoes, you'll want to cook this savory eclair ASAP (the recipe's here!)
And no, I don't mean steroids. I've been debating lately whether or not to jump on the fruit juicing bandwagon, so I've decided to give it a go. But first, my reservations on the topic:
What part of town do you call home? West Trashy? Mount Plastic? My upcoming move from JI to West Ash has me paying mind to the stereotypes (or are they judgements?) we in the Lowcountry give our hoods
It's the eve of the day I start writing my next cookbook. Apparently for me, this major transition calls for a pair of bright red Danskos and some delicious roasted chicken (read on for the recipe!)
While touring Callie's Biscuits' new home, I found black pepper-bacon buttermilk biscuits, homemade jam, and pimiento cheese. Mmmmm. Another notable finding? THE perfect holiday hostess gift
Pre-pubescent porn hunts, old Asian liquor, and Reservoir Dogs... Ever since I can remember, my family-and-friends holiday has been less turkey and stuffing, more raucous fun and wild mischief
Banish holiday cooking fears with this delicious and easy tart. It comes together in minutes and makes delicious use of one of fall's most celebrated fruits
Why is it that sometimes, we respond to a challenge by stepping on the gas, and other times, napping right through the race? (Hint: What are you afraid of?)
Last Wednesday, I set out in search of traditional Irish music. Instead I found Gerry Kieran, no live music, a bottle of Connemara, and a damn good clubhouse
Okay (gulp) we admit it... we women can get a little competitive. This Grit gal turned the spotlight on high, handed us a mirror, and said, "Hey! Cut. It. Out."
Some of us live to eat, some of us write to eat, some of us live to write. If you're somewhere in the mix, take a break from 3 for $30 menu offerings and indulge at this weekend's writers' retreat
In her first post on Grit, Heavy On the Veggie's Claire O'Bryan shares her foolproof ways to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your daily eats
Amidst the driving rain, this one got right to the heart of our creative spirits. Add in the brilliant poem by local 8th grader Nina Howard, and receiving this post was simply an honor...
I long for school to be more hurricane-like, for the atmospheric conditions of public education to be ripe for downpours of creativity (like this swirling poem from an 8th grader at Moultrie Middle)
Increase your libido, renew your energy, sleep better—the big lesson I learned in my mid 30s that helped bring my feel-good factor back (this is Blog 1 in a series on this topic)
