8/23/2017 0 Comments Lakeside Recipes: Conecuh Bites  Conecuh Sausage smoked in Evergreen, AL Preparing for the weekend always entails searching for a recipe. ALWAYS! Whether we have company or not, I always try to include an appetizer for Saturday night for us to munch on while watching the sunset and enjoying the beauty around us {also known as Smith Lake}. One of my go-to's is called Conecuh Bites.
Conecuh Bites are easy to make, and, without a doubt, deliciously mix the hearty and the sweet together! If you've never had Conecuh Sausage, and you like sausage, do yourself a favor and pick some up! Conecuh Sausage ships anywhere in the United States or can be found in most grocery stores (I pick mine up at Son's of Arley). Recipe: Conecuh Bites
Grill or fry the Conecuh and cut into serving pieces {see picture for size}. Open the pineapple. Using a toothpick, combine your sausage and pineapple chunks, and dip into the BBQ sauce {I usually use Dreamland Sauce, but recently discovered a new brand, Bully Sauce - that also loves Smith Lake, I should add - and I am planning to use it this weekend}. Side note: for cheese lovers, my Daddy adds a small block of cheddar cheese to his sausage/pineapple combo and claims -- "it makes it THAT much better!" 8/22/2017 4 Comments Favorite Smith lake Pieces Find at Ambiance in Homewood, AL There’s something magical about escaping to the lake, arriving, unpacking and getting settled in. The smell of the house when you first walk through the door... right down to the first glimpse of the lake. Smith Lake is many things to many people, for my family it's the place memories are made. Memories of humid summer nights spent around the fire pit, boat picnics and lots of slough floating. Our lake home is the de facto setting for family gatherings, and has been the spot for many a boys' weekends, mama's get-a-ways, and, not to mention, the summer fun spot for several "friend weekends" for our oldest daughter. We've spent a lot of time cultivating an inviting feel, while ensuring it is functional at the same time. Our main goal in decorating and outfitting our lake home has been that we want it to be comfortable, but giving the look and feel of a true rustic lake place. It has taken some time, but it's something that I truly enjoy. Finding the perfect new piece is something that still excites me, six years in. Since launching, The Lakeside Life, I've been capturing some of my favorite lake decor pieces I've seen out & about {above}. In the spirit of lake decor, we've teamed up with artist, GG Holcombe, to give away a set of her watercolor feathers. These feathers are sure to be the perfect piece for a Smith Lake home! To enter, be sure you are following us on Instagram or Facebook, tag a Smith Lake loving friend, and for an extra entry, leave a comment here telling us your perfect spot for these gorgeous feathers. We will announce the winner on Friday!
