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!

Happy Monday!

Are you off today? If so, I hope you are enjoying the free time like me! I went to breakfast this morning with the hubs, I'm getting caught up on laundry and about to do some baking. Life is good!

Before I get into the menu for the week, I wanted to let you know that I've now converted ALL of my recipes into printer-friendly formats. Yep, I spent the better part of Saturday putting 60+ recipes into Google docs. I feel so accomplished! And my eyes are crossed...
I hope you'll use them! You can find them within each recipe post, under the recipe title, there will be a link that says "click here for printer-friendly version." If you have any troubles, please let me know!

menu 1-17-11

Here's what's on the menu this week:

Peanut Butter Banana Bread - Click here for the recipe. I've got some extremely ripe bananas and Keith has requested that I make this bread again! It's so good.

Roast Chicken with Balsamic Bell Peppers and Mascarpone Mashed Potatoes - This will be dinner tonight and I cannot wait! I plan to take pictures and blog about it. It's a Cooking Light recipe that sounds fantastic!

Update: fantastic! click here for my post with the recipe.

Chicken and Strawberries over Mixed Greens - This is one of our Cooking Light favorites! Click here for the recipe. It's a very yummy, fresh salad.

Sake-Glazed Halibut with Edamame Rice - This is a new one for us to try by Pampered Chef. It just sounds so wonderful, but is supposed to come together really fast. I can't wait to try it! I've got to go buy some sake today, which should be fun!

Update: This was just okay. It was good, but not worthy of posting the full recipe here. I tend to forget that Halibut is a 'fishy' fish, and the sake was so mild in flavor it didn't give it much of a boost. I wouldn't go to the trouble to buy sake just for this.
