Well it is exciting for me anyway! The Spiced Life is moving to WordPress! This move is courtesy of my husband, who basically spent his spring break teaching himself both WordPress and Thesis so I could make the switch. We are 95% ready, so I hope to go live by the end of this week…

Atlanta’s Highland Bakery: A Review and A Recipe

June 22, 2010 By Laura 3 Comments

All pics are of my cornbread–I did not take a camera into the Bakery with me. With 2 small kids I think I’d have to be crazy to attempt that! Have you been wondering what Twitter can do for you? 2 weeks ago I posted some comment or question about my trip to Atlanta and…

An Update & Family Recipes Reminder

May 31, 2009 By Laura 7 Comments

I thought you might like to see how the house is coming along since its barren, muddy days. We almost became the opposite, a complete jungle, when the mower broke before we went on vacation. YIKES. But John was able to get it mowed today–and look! It almost looks like a real yard! This is…

A Postcard From Atlanta… Without Any Pictures

April 19, 2009 By Laura 8 Comments

Because I am terrible at that sort of thing. Unlike many food bloggers, food and writing came first for me–the photographing only followed by necessity. And honestly, you try shooting pictures of the food you are about to eat in public with 2 toddlers in tow. It ain’t happening. All I have are pictures of…

Just a quick note to let everyone know I am out of town in lovely Atlanta (how depressing will it be to return to leaf-less trees?) and will be back this weekend. Stop by for some recipes starting early next week. P.S. For those who asked, I am thinking of hosting a regular family recipes…
