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!

Menu Monday 12/12

Happy Monday!

I feel like it's been ages since I've posted a Menu Monday. Things have been so busy that I've been having on and off weeks with cooking. If we have plans for 2 or more nights a week, I don't even mess with groceries. But, this week is a cooking week! Keith is out of school for Christmas, so I can rely on him to get dinner started if I'm at the office later-than-my-normal late :)

Here's what we have cookin' up!

From Top Left:

Chicken Tortilla Soup - I made this vat of soup last night and it was pure heaven. It is one of the best soup recipes I have, and it feeds an army! Click here for my post with the recipe.

Wasabi and Panko-Crusted Pork with Gingered Soy Sauce - A title that long can only mean one thing: it's gonna be yummy! This is a pork dish that is one of our very favorites. I like to serve it with some jasmine rice and steamed veggies. Click here for the recipe.

Chicken Tetrazzini - I am looking forward to making this recipe of my mom's that is based on a Southern Living dish. She includes prosciutto and tops hers with tomato slices. It's divine.

Christmas Gifts - I included this last picture as an inspiration for some Christmas gifts I'll be whipping up this week. I was inspired by all of the free wine label downloads you can find on the internet these days. I plan to make some homemade treats that pair well with wine and package it all together nicely. I will, of course, blog about my end results! Labels pictured above are available via Better Homes and Gardens.


Check back this week for new recipes, Christmas decor pics and more! :)
