Rhoda of the blog Southern Hospitality has never been shy about talking about money. So, it only made sense that when she posted the photos of her IKEA kitchen renovation she’d include a full cost breakdown of what it took to update the kitchen’s country style into a more transitional design. Check out what her kitchen looks like now, and how she did it for $8,700.

“This quick salad has all the flavors of the classic, but uses cottage cheese as a less-expensive option for fresh mozzarella.”
I made such an easy dinner last night. Want to hear about it? I tossed thawed shrimp with Cajun seasoning, roasted it, then served it over a super simple green salad and some store-bought roasted corn salsa. It was ready in about 10 minutes and so yummy.
That’s just one way to serve this ultra-quick seafood treat, though. Here are a few more summer side dishes that can play along with roasted shrimp for light dinners.
This summer I have embarked on something I haven’t done since college: an internship! But this time, instead of working in a museum or publishing house, I’m at the bar — infusing spirits with seasonal fruits and herbs, learning how to make foam, and delving into the world of garden-to-glass cocktails. An unexpected benefit is that I’m finding inspiration for my cooking, too.
Summer, the season of impromptu picnics, backyard get-togethers, and lazy dinners, demands hospitable and casual desserts that come together easily and feed everyone from large to small.
This is one of my favorites: a one-bowl butter cake, baked in a pretty dish, and topped with tangy whipped cream and piles of summer fruit. Easy as 1-2-3, and beautiful too.
When it comes to dessert — especially those involving fresh fruit and pastry! — we’re usually too busy spooning up another bite to care what it’s called. But these can be confusing, right? What’s a cobbler, exactly? Is a crisp by any other name a crumble?
Do you need a refresher on your fruit desserts? Get straight on this family of summer goodies; everything you need to know is right here.
