Moist Beet Brownies with Peanut Buttercream Frosting

Moist Beet Brownies with Peanut Buttercream Frosting

So, before we get started I feel like I may have lost some of you on this recipe at the word, beet. It’s actually a common thing to add beets to cakes that are considered southern staples. I set about creating this decadent recipe with the ingredients I had on hand for a moist, delicious beet brownie topped with peanut buttercream frosting. Here’s a recipe I’m totally crazy about and I know you’re going to be crazy about it too…

Gourmet S’mores Bar

Gourmet S’mores Bar

One of the things I appreciate about being at my aunt and uncle’s farm is how welcoming and relaxing our time is there. They make sure we always have what we need from extra blankets to plenty mugs for hot chocolate. I’ve tried to replicate that same feeling for friends and family who visit my home on the island. I know a lot of you strive to do the same thing in your home too. Outdoor entertaining can be so much fun this time of year. Here are a few elements you’ll need to create a Gourmet S’mores Bar…

How to Refresh Your Back Patio

You may remember back in May, we gave the entire back patio area a makeover. At the time it looked really nice but the blistering heat and constant coastal rains really did a number on the pieces of furniture we had set up out there.

It all started last year when I was decorating the front porch for fall. The salt air, marsh winds and coastal rains had caused the front door to become faded and worn. It made my whole porch look tired. I’ve tried a lot of different paints over the past few months but there’s been one paint in particular I’ve wanted to try. Enter Modern Masters, Front Door Paint.

Fall Inspired Mantel

Once I finished this vintage inspired apple picking sign, I knew I would use apples throughout the house as part of my fall décor. At first, I couldn’t decide where I wanted to use the sign. I tried it outside on the porches and then finally decided to try it on the mantel. It’s been there ever since. Here’s how all of the details of the Fall Inspired Mantel came together…
