Let me preface with that we purchased this home in 2014 and got to work right away, so the before pictures are less than blog worthy quality and I apologized for that. We were movin’ and groovin’ on this project and most of the before photos are very old cell phone photos. However, the after pictures are great and I hope to give you some inspiration from materials to design! Disclaimer: I love to shop local any time I can…
Recently, I won 1ST PLACE at the Red & Green Chili Cook Off!! This recipe has been in our family for years! It has always been a crowd favorite and I always fall back on it on a cold winter day when I want to warm the hearts and bellies of my loved ones. I made a post on Instagram sharing that the recipe won first place and I got an overwhelming amount of messages to share the recipe! I…

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I wanted to give you guys a healthy southern cooking recipe! Yes, that’s a thing! We absolutely love making Shepherds Pie with a cauliflower puree mash instead of traditional mash potatoes. It taste amazing and cuts down on your carb intake. In other news, we have started a YouTube channel! That’s right, now you can watch us make these recipes all while trying to raise our 5 kids. Check out our video making Shepherd Pie…
To me, food is very important. But what’s more important, is sharing it with my family and the time it allows us to spend together. Sometimes it’s not always about making the most gourmet Instagram-worthy meal. It is about teaching my children how to take care of themselves and their families one day, bonding over something that will fill our stomachs and souls and just spending time together! Having 5 kids, a husband traveling and career myself, quality time is…
Summer is finally upon us and my kids might be just a tad excited to be done with school! Time for things to slow down a little for the Robertson clan during the summer which means I have a little bit more time to bake our family’s favorite dessert. This cake recipe has been passed from friend to friend, and it doesn’t take long for the pan to be empty. To kick off summer we thought we’d share one of…
Did someone say “Cinco de Mayo?” Palomas anyone?! It’s our first Cinco de Mayo in Texas and we had no idea how much of a celebration it is here. We might just be a little excited to partake in the fun! I thought what better way to celebrate this day than sharing one of my favorite paloma recipes from bon appetit with you all. INGREDIENTS Kosher salt 1 grapefruit wedge ¼ cup fresh grapefruit juice 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice…
Hey y’all! I realize it’s been awhile since something has been posted to the blog. We moved to Austin back in September and started a food truck. We hit the ground running, but we can talk more about that later. For now, I thought what better way to revive this blog by letting y’all in on something I’m really loving right now… My family and I are learning that Austin in spring is pretty magical. The weather is perfect, the…
Yesterday, Jep wrote a little something up about our friends at P&S Trailer Service. We are forever thankful for and blessed to have the P&S family in our lives. I had no idea the day I would come across their services would be the day of a new chapter in lives of the Robertson clan. P&S created Jep’s Southern Roots. Turning an old, beat up Airstream into a beautiful, new food truck was a huge task, and Kevin and his…
When you think relaxation, what first comes to mind? What mood? What setting? For me, I am in a bubble bath surrounded by the glow and warmth of candlelight. I admit I am a bit of a candle fanatic. I love trying new scents and new brands, and my collection is constantly expanding. My favorite candles, though, are those that are made homemade. As many of you know, I have been beekeeping for over two years now. Though I mainly…
