Ello There

I’m so in love with brides who are willing to be themselves, to choose wedding elements that reflect their personalties instead of someone else’s ideal of what their big day should look like.

Wild River Brewing Company

This weekend I did something I haven’t done in over 8 years… I visited Southern Oregon. A small town called Brookings was my home for a brief stint during my formative years and is still home to my oldest sister, her family, and an assemblage of Ducks, Beavers and Mountain Men.

Per the request of quite a few Chic Readers, I’m blogging about my white gravy. Last week I blogged my recipe for buttermilk cheddar biscuits but thought for sure everyone would have their own style of gravy to top them off with.
