July Recap!

July has been a fun summer month here in Charleston! Partially due to the fact that we’ve been out of town or had guests almost every weekend, we’ve put major DIY on summer vacation and focused on cooking & enjoying the city. If you’ve been on vacation yourself, here’s what you missed:

In the Kitchen:

corn challenge

I shared my love for one of my favorite foods, corn on the cobb, by celebrating an entire week of it! Check out our final call on the best way to cook it – here’s a hint – its slooow but good 🙂

Cookie Brownies - Charleston Crafted

I tried out a new box mix for cookie brownies and was not disappointed.

Around town:
