For the past six months, I have not updated my blog as consistently as in the past. In July, my husband and I moved from Virginia to Atlanta, Georgia. Since then, my focus has been on settling into the new routine of our lives. Now that we are (sorta) settled, you may see an uptick in recipe articles on my blog! Until then, I wanted to take this opportunity to share with you some exciting updates including a Youtube Channel and website changes.

Campfire Brie (Brie With Figs and Prosciutto)
by Emilyby EmilyCampfire brie is the perfect late-summer appetizer to enjoy with a large group of people. Over the barbecue or campfire, you place a large round of brie in a cast iron. Then, you top it with fig jam, fresh figs, and prosciutto before adding a final drizzle of honey and/or balsamic glaze reduction. Honestly, as the evening cool there is nothing more perfect than sitting outside, enjoying a delicious appetizer, and a glass of wine.

Recently, I wrote a recipe article about the Lowcountry shrimp boil! As someone from Savannah, Georgia, I grew up eating many shrimp boils over the summers during my youth and early adulthood.

Over time, my family came up with our favorite ways to eat the leftovers. Below, I list easy ideas for how to use the leftovers if you decide to make a Lowcountry shrimp boil at home!

In this post, we will learn how to make the Lowcountry shrimp boil!
