Rachel — A Southern Fairytale

If you’ve been around me for a hot minute, you know that I love to cook, grill, entertain and be around people. I love to feed people, to see their smiles and to hear the boisterous laughter and conversation drop to murmurs and mumbles when delicious food is being consumed.

I love empty, messy, fork- scraped plates because that means that both hearts and tummies are full.

I honestly can’t tell y’all what my favorite food to grill is, because the truth of the matter is that I love being outside, and the smell of a hot grill, the sound of the sizzle when food hits those searing hot grates, well that just makes my heart go all 3 times bigger grinch-swelly.

There’s a major grilling holiday coming up this next weekend, in case you didn’t know, and I’m excited to share an amazingly easy and delicious steak recipe with y’all.

These Grilled Steaks with Cilantro Lime Butter are a perfect pairing for Bush’s Black Bean Fiesta Grillin’ Beans

Today, May 20th, is my *little* brother Michael’s 31st birthday!

Happy Birthday, MY-kayla.

Michael, you were my constant companion, my playmate and my friend; whether it was me dressing you up in Granny’s clothes, painting your nails, flipping you over my head, you chasing me around the yard with a machete or you pulling a rug out from under me (which only took you 20 years to fess up to thankyouverymuch!) and causing me to split my head open.

I wouldn’t trade any of it.
