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.

I’ve been perfecting this recipe over the last several years and have gotten it to a place where even I will compliment my own cooking. I’ll usually put everything in the crock pot in the morning before I head to the office and then come home to a hearty chili! Ingredients Olive Oil 1 Large

Pork Gravy
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. Turns out I only think that way because I grew up in kitchens

Found Vintage
If the average Chic Reader… prepare to be inspired. If you’re “in the biz” meaning, the event biz… prepare to have your world rocked! At least, that was my reaction when I heard about Found Vintage Rentals. I am firstly OBSESSED with vintage anything. I am secondly, always searching for something new to show my
