Hey Reader

It’s officially that time of year where everything is finally starting to feel a little cozier — football Saturdays, cooler evenings, and way too much good food.

This past week has been a whirlwind in the best way....🍂

Food + Friends + Festivals + Music & lots of gratitude for this crazy little life.

Fall Food Fest + Boozey🍺

Thanks to my hubby's job, we get tickets to my fav fall festival!

The Southern Living Food & Fire Festival at Sloss Furnaces here in Birmingham is so cool. Think smoky BBQ, endless wine tastings, and so much inspiration for fall flavors.

And, me going from tent to glorious tent eating ribs, corn, oysters & so much more--HEAVEN!

God, I love my husband's job🤣

🎶 Then it was Shaboozey under the stars — an outdoor concert at the my absolute fav music venue. Live music, good eats, and that crisp night air that just makes you want to stay out a little longer.

...and then you remember your age...and that the kids have to be up for school🫠

ANNUAL PIG ROAST 🐖

And this weekend? I’m heading to my dad’s farm for our annual pig roast — it’s a new family traditions that everyone is super pumped about & YES I'll be posting pics on IG!

(and as fall Saturdays require--we’ll be yelling Go Dawgs! between bites, because while I may live in AL I'm a GA girl through & through).

Sometimes these moments remind me why I love food so much — it’s not just about eating, it’s about gathering, slowing down, and really enjoying the season we’re in.

Hope your week has had some of those moments, too. 💛

Talk Soon,

Brett
