My dog Pudge

Written by , Posted in Miscellaneous

Everywhere I walk in Serenbe people ask me what kind of dog he is?

Pudge is a Standard Poodle Chow mix I have had for 10 years. There is nothing better than a beautiful Serenbe morning, walking in the woods with my dog Pudge.

Aren’t simple pleasures just the best!

The Beauty of Lodge Cast Iron skillets

Written by , Posted in Miscellaneous

When setting up a kitchen for the first time or even if your kitchen is complete, I believe everyone should have a black cast iron skillet and I love Lodge skillets. I love them because they are pre-seasoned!
It used to be that you had to work for days just to get your skillet perfectly seasoned. A cast iron skillet is a coveted item in everyone’s kitchen.
Some people even collect old Lodge cast iron skillets and I know many who have fought over their mom’s or grandmother’s old skillets!
In a Southern kitchen I really consider it to be a priceless item.
“The beauty, which I told Quinn, is that they are multifunctional. You can scramble an egg, caramelize onions and use it for a casserole dish. That to me is one of the beauties of a Lodge black cast iron skillet.”

So while in Boulder we found one at Target and I was so excited and I showed Quinn how to make my black bean casserole. It’s simple and everyone loves it. 

And there is nothing better than cooking together with your daughter having a lovely night together!

What’s in my refrigerator

Written by , Posted in Miscellaneous


One of my favorite things to keep in my refrigerator are caramelized onions.

Every two weeks when I am working around my house I will finely chop up 3-4 onions, heat olive oil in my lodge skillet and add the onions. Once all the onions are in, I will add more oil to make sure they are covered and cook on the lowest simmer possible.
As I continue to work around the house, I always check on the onions and stir every thirty minutes.
With very little effort, I have lovely caramelized onions in about 2-2 1/2 hours!
“The beauty of caramelized onions in your fridge is that you can easily add them to the salmon you make for dinner, use them in your morning eggs or add them to any pasta dish”.

The possibilities are truly endless and I think you will agree that this is a great staple to have in your own refrigerator.
I’d love to hear how you use your caramelized onions, so feel free to email me: marie@serenbestyleandsoul.com.
Enjoy!
