On the first day of summer this June, I took myself to the farmers’ market, snagged a bag of fresh peaches, a head of cauliflower, a few small eggplants, some fresh plums and my favorite kettle corn, and made my way back home to put away all the goods.

This is a food blog, but today I’m sharing my newly remodeled home office and gym design with you! It’s the space where I do all of my writing, and that’s the motivation behind this project. As many of you know, I’m writing a new book, but before I get started, I’m setting myself up for success with a functional office space that doubles as a home gym.

In addition to food and cooking, I love interior design. This is the first space in my home that I’ve designed from start to finish, and I love how it turned out.

Chocolate Chunk Georgia Peanut Cookies

Georgia is the number one producer of peanuts in the United States, and Georgia peanut farmers provide more than 45 percent of the U.S. peanut crop each year.

These cookies came together with pantry staples I already had on hand, and surprisingly turned out to be one of my favorite cookie recipes. I had a big milk chocolate Easter bunny that needed using, so I chopped up the chocolate and repurposed it for these cookies. The roasted peanuts gives them the perfect sweet and salty bite.

Fresh Cranberry Sauce

Fresh Cranberry Sauce reduces, congeals and thickens into a spread for sandwiches, dips and turkey!

Thanksgiving is upon us, and whether you’re team canned cranberry or fresh, you’ve got to have this classic accompaniment on turkey day. I grew up eating the canned cranberry sauce and I must admit, I love the little ridges and all. The fresh stuff is good too, but it’s a different experience all together.

The lemon juice is the star ingredient in this recipe, inspired by the one and only Ina Garten. I use cranberry juice instead of water to reinforce the flavors. The cranberries simmering on the stovetop perfumes the whole home and really sets the mood for the holidays.

Gobble, gobble!
