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 12/6

Happy Monday!

menu 12-6

I don't know what the weather is like in your neck of the woods, but here in Memphis things are getting COLD! Which totally puts me in the mood for warm, comfort foods :)

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

Thai-Coconut Curry Chicken Soup - Mmm. I made this last night and it was fantastic! I'll be posting the Cooking Light recipe tomorrow.

Result: Click here for the recipe!


Beef and Cheese Foldover - You may have seen this one on my blog before! It's making a comeback this week :) Click here for the recipe.

Creamy Jambalaya Pasta - Recipe from PlainChicken.com, this sound so good! I bookmarked it a few months ago, and this week I'm finally getting around to it. Can't wait!

Result: Outstanding!! This is a new pasta favorite. It was easy, different, and delicious. Here's a picture of our version:

Jalapeno Corn Casserole - Keith and I are going to a potluck dinner with some of his extended family, and I'm bringing a side dish. I am making a recipe from an old Paula Deen magazine, and can't find it anywhere online. I am sure it'll be good since it's Paula and it's loaded with things like cream cheese. Yikes! I'll be blogging about this if it's worthy!

Verdict: It was good, but not anything extraordinary. We made it in a hurry to take to a family dinner, so didn't get any pictures snapped, but it was good! I may make modifications to it and share on the blog.

Also, before I go, wanted to let you know that I've updated last week's menu with the results of the things we tried. Click here to check it out if you were interested in the ham & brie panini or mini chicken pot pies!

Loved the beef & cheese foldover. I simplified it and used pillsbury dough, just as great! Happy Monday!
