Let's Play with Our Food!

Written by Denise Sawyer on Monday, May 20, 2013.

Looking for something to do with your kiddos?  I’ve got something fun that doesn’t require much set up or fancy baking skills. Remember when YOUR mom said not to play with your food?  Forget all that.

Ten Minute Georgia Blueberry Jam

Tomorrow, May 14, is National Buttermilk Biscuit Day!  If you’re a Southern gal like me, just the thought of a hot buttered biscuit can make you grin from ear to ear! I grew up on homemade biscuits and gravy that my momma made from scratch.  And, before her, my Nanny (my dad’s mom) was the matriarch of biscuit-making.  My dad says she made biscuits EVERY DAY!

How did you celebrate Cinco de Mayo?  Hey, even if you didn’t, there’s still time to enjoy some delicious, easy and homemade Mexican food.  My family enjoys Mexican food so much, we don’t wait for Cinco de Mayo - we could have it once a week!

Blogger Denise Sawyer: It's Earth Day!

on Monday, April 22, 2013.

April 22nd is Earth Day!  What better way to celebrate than to spend some time outside? My family has been enjoying the outdoors so much the last couple of weeks.  We love to bike, hike, picnic and visit the local farmer’s markets to pick up some local treats.

Baked Tilapia with Fresh Georgia Blueberry and Mandarin Orange Salsa

Written by Denise Sawyer on Tuesday, July 10, 2012.

Its summer time and here in Georgia it is HOT.  When I mean hot, I mean the other day my car said it was 113 degrees!   And, I don’t know about you, but when it gets this hot the last thing I want to do is stand over the stove for very long.

So, I’ve got just the thing… quick fish.  That’s right, fish.  It cooks up fast and with this super simple Georgia blueberry and mandarin orange salsa it is the perfect light dish for summer time.  {I like to keep it light when the temperatures begin to rise}.

A Day at the Blueberry Farm

Written by Denise Sawyer on Friday, July 06, 2012.

Have you gotten your fill of Georgia Blueberries yet?  We haven’t!  Last weekend we went to pick a few at our local u-pick blueberry farm in Lafayette, Georgia.  They have a large field of blueberry bushes (more like trees!) to pick from.

Judah and I had a nice surprise this week.  Our little blueberry bush (the one in my very first post here at the Georgia Blueberry site) was loaded with blueberries!  We picked about 2 cups worth off of our little bush!

Next weekend my husband and I are hosting a baby shower for my sister-in-law and my brother to welcome their first baby into the world!  We are very excited to celebrate with them and have invited all our family and friends to join us.  It wasn’t until I started making out the invitations that I realized our guest list was a lot longer than I had originally thought.

Georgia Blueberry Lemonade

It’s summertime and here in the South that means its time for some front porch sittin' and lemonade or sweet tea sippin'.  I love to entertain during the summer!  It's low key and casual with lots of grilling out and chilling out.

Peach Crumble with Georgia Blueberries

I absolutely love to cook for friends and family.  In fact, hosting a dinner or party is one of my favorite things to do.  I love planning the menu, pulling together the decorations, and doing all the little extras and final touches that really make a get-together special.
