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!

Giveaway Winner and Wine Friday: Redtree Cabernet Sauvignon

Posted by Kendall Jones Tags: ,
Happy Friday!! I'm so excited for the END of the week. Can I get an Amen? I'm also announcing the winner of the giveaway today which is always fun for me! Thanks so much to everyone who participated!
The winner is the lovely Mallory over at The Laceys! I happen to read her blog and she and her husband are adorable, not to mention their precious little girl, Elting. Congrats, Mallory! I'll email you to get you address.

I wish I could give a cookbook to everyone, Oprah-style :)

It's ironic that all week long I've been reading your comments about how often you cook, and this is one week that I haven't cooked a single thing. I haven't even made a sandwich! After getting a stomach virus on Sunday, food just hasn't appealed to me. I've eaten because I need to, but I couldn't bring myself to cook, and nothing sounds good. I definitely had to control my gag reflex earlier in the week when Keith reheated the same meal that I had last eaten before the attack. It didn't cause it, but still ruined that dish for me for a while! Don't you hate that!? That may be too much info....sorry! :) Anyway, after my vacation from the kitchen, I'll be back in full-force this weekend.

Redtree Cabernet Sauvignon
Year: 2009
Origin: California
Average Price: $8
About the wine: Wine Enthusiast gave this wine 85 points. I think it's a very good versatile cab that would be good to have on hand as a house wine. It pairs well with most foods, especially pasta, burgers, and pizza. Plus, the bottle is pretty cute and looks good in your kitchen. Just sayin'...

Happy weekend to all my blog world friends!
