Plus, last week, The Daily News Journal interviewed my daughter and I about “The Curious Kitchen” – the recreational cooking school that we’re in the process of opening here in Murfreesboro, and also to announce my column.

Please check out The Curious Kitchen. We will have our classes posted on July 10th.  www.TheCuriousKitchen.net

Thank you to all who support Saucy Girls Kitchen and enjoy my recipes & food pictures. It truly is a labor of love.

Stay tuned for more great recipes!

Eat well, live happy ~

We’re moving across country, from California to Tennessee.  I’m so excited, and it will be quite hectic for at least the next month and a half. The new house (which is a really old house… more on that below) won’t be ready for us to move in until September 1st.

Sophie wearing her pearls!

Duke, acting innocent!

The plan is to leave Los Angeles July 31st and take about a week to travel to Tennessee. It will be me, Billy, our 2 French Bulldogs (Sophie & Duke), our Cockatiel (Sunny), and our 2 small African Frogs (sure, call me crazy, but I love these frogs, and they sing!!). Seriously, the frogs sing/croak at night.  Needless to say, it will be crowded in our VW bug. Just kidding! We will be traveling in a Ford Escape ~ as we escape from L.A.  Oh, did I mention we will be pulling a small Uhaul?

We’re kind of like the opposite of the Beverly Hillbillies. Ha! Ha! It’s going to be a fun, exciting road trip. Along the way we will be making some great food stops and the plan is to be snapping pics and blogging as I can. With all our animals in tow it may be more like Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives! But it will be like you’re all coming along for the ride (well, kinda).

I also plan to schedule some automatic posts for while we’re on the road. I have so many food pictures that I haven’t blogged about yet, so I hope that will keep my foodie friends happy while we’re on our new adventure.

And here’s the house we’re moving to in Tennessee! It was built in 1829. I love the house, it’s wonderful ~ and huge, over 5000 square feet!

The River in our backyard!

The property is just amazing. We will have about 25 acres, with a gorgeous river. We can fish right in our own back yard. I love to fish, and you know I’ll be cooking that up!!

House in the distance.

The plan is to have a huge veggie garden, and lots of fruit trees. Oh, and chickens! Yay ~ fresh eggs!

This time next year I will be posting about the fresh veggies from our own garden. It’s really a dream come true for us!

Hope you stay tuned… ’cause I can guarantee that there will be some surprises along the way!
