Southern Doors Dripping with Charm

While vacationing in Charleston, South Carolina I took a stroll down the famous Rainbow Row and found the most charming front doors.  Take a look at this stunning door knocker and ornate door handle I found...

Don't you just want to knock on these doors and ask to take a peek inside?  

More to come on Charleston in my next blog post.  I'm in love with this city!

Key Lime Pie with a Twist

After a fabulous dinner and dessert at The Grocery in Charleston, SC  I left dreaming about their key lime pie.  

It was served like an upside down cake.  The buttery graham cracker crust was on top, followed by the tart lime custard and creme all in a perfect little circle.  Genius!

I was completely inspired to think out of the pie box.  So I went home and dug up the richest key lime pie recipe I could find and made some of the pie in a springform pan and the rest in individual ramikens.  

Here are the results and the recipe I used.  My kids loved eating the pie this way! 

What twists on pies have you tried that were a success?  Please share!

Wyebrook Farm Adventure

My husband and I took a country drive out to Wyebrook Farm last weekend with the kids.  We'd heard good things and thought the adventure was worth missing nap time, ya know the type.

Wyebrook Farm provides meats and produce to many of your favorite farm to table restaurants in Philly.  Getting a peek at the farm is a foodie's dream come true!

We pulled into the farm to find rolling green hills, rustic but chic barns, tiny pink piglets wagging their corkscrew tails and giant cows munching on grass.  You could hear the guitar and fiddle in the distance...My kids squealed with excitement and my husband gave me his look of approval.  Even a few meltdowns couldn't mess this up!

We spent the day hanging with the animals, browsing the market, watching the kids dance to the blue grass music and chowing down on the freshest country food.  Which included homemade whoopie pies for dessert!  We topped the day off by climbing up the treehouse overlooking the farm and taking turns on the tire swing.  Sigh.

Take a look at our pics and be sure to go and see what all the magic is about at Wyebrook Farm.  It's worth the trip!
