8/23/2017 1 Comment 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 Smith Lake Home Decor
 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 so many people, but in a nutshell, it's the place memories are made. Memories of humid summer nights spent around the fire pit, boat picnics, dock shenanigans and lots of floating and swimming in the water around the dock. Lake homes are intrinsically the PLACE for family gatherings and entertaining, and has been the spot for many a boys' weekends, husband fishing excursions, mama get-a-ways, and "friend weekends." So in order to make a home inviting, there is nothing more fun for a new lake home owner than cultivating home decor and furnishings that have a lake vibe but remain functional, classy, and sophisticated but also have a bit of a rustic and country-living feel at the same time. Decorating and outfitting a lake home is about keeping it affordable, useable, light, airy, and comfortable while settling on a a look and feel of that compliments the rustic natural surroundings so there is a seamless air that flows from outside to inside. Finding perfect pieces is like a treasure hunt. We highly recommend some area favorite stores like the following for all your home decor and home furnishing needs:
