  • When I grow up, I want to eat fresh from my backyard garden. Do you have a backyard garden? Four years ago we moved into our home and started renovating. The inside is finished and while some parts of the outside are spiffed up, much of it still has a ways to go. Our backyard is wide open to any ol’ passerby, so the vanity in me wants it to be aesthetically appealing. Did I also mention we have a slope? And deer, fox, groundhogs and chipmunks? Thankfully, we have now moved into our outdoor renovation phase and once the hard-scaping is in place, let the gardens begin! Patience, Lyndi, patience. Are we alike? Do you have aspirations for a home garden but not enough time, land, or whatever is needed to make it happen?
  • Ad. #arsoystory It has been a long time since I’ve visited the Jonesboro/Memphis area, even though it is only five hours away. I plan on heading over there soon to visit some dear friends and there is one restaurant that will be on our must-stop list. It’s called J Town’s Grill, have you been there? It’s a local favorite and, get this, it’s owned by Jeffrey Higgins, an Arkansas soybean farmer. Talk about a seriously personal farm-to-table experience! J Town’s Grill is the featured restaurant for this month’s Kitchen | Fields Table Tour. Their featured dish is a Greek-marinated chicken with a chipotle feta spread mixed with Kalamata olives, marinated artichokes, tomato, and drizzled with Tzatziki sauce and served on toasted Lavash bread. Doesn’t that sound amaZING?! .............................. Because I like to play with food, I made you a NON-DAIRY TZATZIKI SAUCE that is made with soy yogurt instead of plain whole yogurt. It tastes delicious and it’s something your non-dairy friends will be thankful you made for them. Because we’re nice like that. Recipe link in comments 👇🏻.
  • @withhomesupply in downtown Fayetteville is one of those home stores that instantly inspires you once you walk through the door. I found the perfect melamine dishes and bowls here! And if you’re looking for a dish cloth that absorbs water perfectly (and prettily), this is your place. $5 each
  • Meatballs come in all shapes, sizes, and ingredients such as beef, pork, turkey, chicken, vegetarian, and vegan. My personal favorite meatball base is ground chicken breast. The consistency is extremely fine and therefore you avoid any mystery bites of fat, grizzle, or well, mystery bites. What is your favorite kind of meatballs? If you’re looking for a little inspiration, check out my quick , easy and delicious taco meatball recipe. Recipe link in bio 👆🏻and in comments 👇🏻.

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
