My mother, who grew up in East Texas (which she would argue is technically the South), introduced me to the Southern tradition of eating black-eyed peas to ring in the new year. This tradition allegedly came from West Africa, where black-eyed peas are said to have originated. The distinctive black dot where the pale pea curves is reminiscent of cowry shells, which were once used as currency in West Africa. As such, black-eyed peas have come to symbolize wealth, which is how it became a New Year’s Day staple for many Southerners. I remember going on a New Year’s Eve Caribbean cruise once and meeting a couple of passengers from Tennessee. They were discussing what they would do if the chef had the audacity to let Jan. 1 arrive without serving black-eyed peas. In the end, they were able to find a can of “congo peas” while we were docked in St. Kitts. I still have that image of them huddled together in their stateroom eating spoonfuls of cold beans right from the can. Read More >>

Sharing some magic moments from our Christmas break! It’s so tricky getting photos of both kids these days, not to mention a good one of the four of us. Max loves riding the train at the mall like it’s 1988! A few days before Christmas I used this method for decorating our sugar cookies. What a hit! How gorgeous is the decor at the Fairmont this year? I was a little partial to last year’s neon colors, but this is so pretty! And speaking of gorgeous, my mom’s tree is amazing. Always. Little babes that need some bribery for smiles! Lacy + my brother Will, our annual Max + his godparents pic! My aunt also has a gorgeous tree and village. So pretty! The hit of the toys this year was the Melissa and Doug One Stop Shop… except Max just wanted to play with all of Emilia’s toys too. My little golden girl! I love that she looks like an 87 years old baby. Everyone had to have yogi’s before dinner on Christmas day. Survival mode. More of my mom’s decor! So pretty. Emi

We have a very, er, specific New Year's Eve food tradition in my household. It's an elaborate shrimp tree , and my mother and I spend hours constructing it each year. There's the day-of, panicked search for the correctly shaped and perfectly sized foam cone, which somehow always gets tossed away during the year prior. There's the painstaking affixing of curly kale leaves to said foam cone (once procured), in the style of a full Christmas tree. There's the careful preparation of a perfectly seasoned cocktail sauce . And then, just before our New Year's Eve party starts, there's the pinning of each individual shrimp to the tree, using colorful toothpicks, to look like a wrap-around garland.

Here are 10 of our favorite stories (of many) from what was a very exciting, thought-provoking year. We can't wait to share more of them with you in 2019.

Are you a gingerbread fan? I know I am! All those warm spices and the rich, deep flavor of the molasses seem to dance on your tongue.     This Gingerbread Cookie Ice Cream is a wonderful way to enjoy those flavors. Creamy desserts are my favorite. While I enjoy a good gingerbread cookie, if there’s a way to inject it with cream, I’ll usually opt for that version! Plus this recipe comes together so easily—no stirring custard over the stove required. If you don’t mind eating the ice cream straight from the ice cream maker, you could be enjoying this in about 30 minutes! That’s dangerous knowledge right there…     Here’s what you’ll need: molasses, cream, milk, vanilla, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, nutmeg, sugar, and gingerbread cookies!     I recommend using cookies with a bit of a snap to them since they’ll soften a bit in the ice cream. Although the soft texture of chewy gingerbread cookies might be lovely as well! Chop them into fairly big chunks. If you cut the cookies into

Last week, my friend and I met for happy hour drinks that inevitably turned into post-happy hour dinner. One glance at the menus, and we just couldn’t help ourselves. Against our usual rules, we both ordered the exact same thing: shrimp tacos. (This was extra embarrassing because when we arrived we realized we were also both wearing almost identical outfits, but I digress.) My friend quickly downed both tacos while I leisurely made my way through my first. I was about to start my second when my friend looked me straight in the eye and said, “That taco looks so good that I just want to rip it out of your hands.” I gave her the taco. Frankly, she earned it. That kind of passion is exactly the enthusiasm shrimp tacos deserve. Why We Love Shrimp Tacos Shrimp tacos are the superior taco, hands down, no argument. They’re the perfect combination of seafood and Mexican. Better yet, they also happen to be the healthiest way to enjoy tacos. Shrimp are a tasty, super low-cal protein, which

It’s no secret that sugar isn’t good for our bodies. Not only can it lead to unwanted weight gain, but it can influence our heart health, increase our risk of diabetes, and much more. For many of us, cutting out dessert feels impossible. But what if there was a different way to reduce your sugar consumption? Let’s check out the top tips for making sugar-free desserts. You may be surprised at just how simple, and oh-so-delicious, recipes can be without all of the unnecessary sugar. Check Out Natural Sweeteners You may be surprised to learn that sugar isn’t the only way that you can achieve a sweet flavor. There are a variety of natural sweeteners such as monk fruit sweetener or erythritol. Both of these types of sweeteners are often used in low-carb recipes . Monk fruit is derived from monk fruit, which is native to Thailand and other areas of China. Reasons you’ll love monk fruit sweeteners: It’s much sweeter than regular sugar. It doesn’t raise blood sugar levels It has vir
