My folks were living in my birth state of North Carolina, attending Duke University for post-grad study, when Mom became pregnant with me. During her pregnancy, she’d crave North Carolina …
Last week’s Greek Breakfast Casserole does not exactly fall within Craig's wheelhouse since my significant other has an egg aversion. So I've been thinking about foods that he likes and I am really pumped to share this week’s recipe with you. But first, some background. I’ve heard stories from Craig's Grandma Blean – and echoed by …
Wow! It’s been some time since my last blog post, but I’ve returned to start sharing recipes and stories once again. My life has changed quite a bit over my five-year hiatus from Game Day Grub. My brother got married and the Ingersols happily added Michelle to the family. I lost my last living grandparent …
