Hello! Welcome to Keeping Up with the Joneses. Thanks for stopping by! We're a young couple living in the East Arkansas/Memphis area otherwise known as The Delta, with a love for family, friends, faith and food.

We believe that some of the best memories are created at home around the dinner table, and when entertaining those you love. This little blog is where I share recipes, wine, our home and our life. Enjoy! -Kendall

What You'll Find:

I love to try new recipes. In fact, I rarely make the same thing twice. I'm a bona-fide cookbook collector, Pinterest addict and magazine aficionado. On the blog, you'll see what I've got cooking.

I love wine, y'all, so from time to time I feature bottles I've loved. Crafts and decorating our little house are passions of mine, so you may see some of that. Thanks for stopping by!

An email exchange

My sister is funny. And so am I.
Our email exchanges are quite humorous, and not your typical "hi, how are you?" emails, I'm sure.

Here is today's:

From: Jennifer
To: Kendall
Subject: your latest blog

Seriously, honey.

You need your own TV show.  Or an intervention.  I'm not sure which. Contact the Food Network, or a 12-step program, asap.

Haha, I know. It's bad, real bad.
The recipes swarm in my head like bees. Sometimes I really just want to hide in the corner and suck my thumb instead of try to sort through all these recipes.

What I hope to learn from all of this is how to cook without many recipes, like you, my elder, wiser sister. One day I will attain that skill. ONE DAY, I say.

Also, your deck looks wicked awesome, and your pie is blog worthy. WHY didn't you take step-by-step pictures? Duh, that's what I would've done. OBVI.  (I'm talking about some pictures she emailed me separately)

Love ya, enjoy the fam's visit!!

-Kendall

PS-I wouldn't really suck my thumb, I never got into that.
