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!

From top left:

Summer Lemon-Vegetable Risotto with Grilled Chicken: I made this last night for dinner and it was fab-u-lo. I will be posting the recipe this week. I've already had leftovers again and just can't get enough of this Cooking Light recipe!

Update: Click here for my recap post!

Rosemary Grilled Steak with Tomato Jam: Another Cooking Light dish that I'll be whipping up soon. It just sounds amazing and the reviews online were positive, which is always positive reinforcement when picking a recipe to make.

Verdict: Fab! Here's my post with the recipe.

End-of-Summer Pork Milanese: I bought an EveryDay with Rachel Ray magazine at the airport and fell in love with it. As a result, I will be adding it to my ridiculous magazine subscription list! I flagged at least 20 pages of recipes and this is one of them.

Result: Tasty! Very colorful. Click here to read about it.

Grilled Chicken and Corn Salad with Avocado and Parmesan: This Real Simple dish sounds perfect for the sweet corn that is in season right now. Plus, I'm an avo addict and can't wait to try this salad.

Update: Excellent salad. A new favorite! Here's my post on it.

Thai Coconut Curry Shrimp: I've been meaning to make this dish for ages, and can't wait to put all of these flavors together! This one from thesisterscafe.com.

Results: Great! This week was full of really tasty meals. Click here for my post.

I'm looking forward to sharing my successes with you!
