delicious recipe – apple dapple cake

Remember the post a little while ago about the  variety of southern cookbooks I purchased with birthday money? Well, I am enjoying them, to say the very least. I love cooking through the recipes and sharing them with my husband, family, and friends.

This recipe – the one for the Apple Dapple Cake – is a must try, must make again recipe.

My mom came over and I said, no matter what crazy diet you are on – really, y’all, she’s done a tremendous job of diligently taking care of her body through good eating and exercise and as a reward to herself, she’s lost weight – you MUST try this cake! Thankfully, she thought the cake was worth straying from her healthy eating regime.

honey, i do declare

what a lovely way to say "may i come in, please?" and i am sure the other side would charmingly greet with sweet tea.

i love love love love love the south. i am so so so so so happy i am from the south

especially in the spring and summa’time.

the girls in steel magnolias were right when they declared sweet tea "the house wine of the South"

Charleston - southern to the nines

Spanish moss, ancient trees, the greenest grass, and a plantation. All that is wanting is a parasole.

High Cotton

we like to decorate our home with meaningful and southern decor accents, like this cotton wreath. its hanging with a ribbon on our linen closet.

spring is coming!! the dogwoods, north carolinas state flower, declare!!

a southern fried chicken picnic must have (and must get quickly before they get gone!!)

this is something i really look forward to this summer - and did you know north carolina has a festival dedicated to watermelon!?!

i love the coast at beaufort - oh and carrot island!!! so wonderful!

i just love at easter when the men don themselves in their seersucker suits - and cant you just hear these men speaking with that good ole boy NC accent?

a little something for the ladies

someday, girls, i will be bold enough to wear a hat like this to church. and perhaps to lunch, too.

and last, but certainly not least, the lovely family vacation spot every memorial day and labor day, oriental, north carolina - sailing capital of NC

no white until memorial day!

I love that this dress is named "ladies who lunch" because it looks pitch-perfect for a ladies' get together!

((or if you fudge, only do it for easter!))

 

but i do LOVE a white summer dress

 

leave it to JCREW to introduce a timeless, feminine, white frock just in time for spring and summer

I love the trim - the square neckline - and the perfect pop of color around the waist
