Monthly Archives: May 2010 In my mind it is now officially summer. With that the temperature and humidity have both been on the rise in Charlotte. Mid 90′s temperatures and humidity can make for some very uncomfortable days. I have found that frozen yogurt can help relieve the discomfort.
 I will just start off by stating that I love Blueberry muffins. I will eat them any time of day. Yes, they are great for breakfast, but they are so easy too make why not eat them all of the time?
 It is so nice to be back in Madison. I was at the farmer’s market today and just got back from an amazing evening at the Terrace. I can not wait to share these with you, but first I thought I would get you in the Madison mood by providing a recap of my February…
 Strawberries are in the height of their season right now. My mom brought some home form the farmer’s market, and I told her I wanted to make some whipped cream and have strawberries and cream. She said why stop there…
 In Athens, I had some of the most amazing strawberry lemonade ! That was back in February. Ever since then, I had been contemplating making my own. Temperatures are in the 80′s and 90′s here in Charlotte, so now seems like a pretty good time!
 When you think of iced tea, I am sure this is the first thing that you think of. Black tea is not the only type of tea that can be made from our good friend the Camellia sinensis leaf. You can also make green tea! Iced green tea?
 Welcome to the 100th post on taylor takes a taste! The 4 months since this has started have flown bye! . If you have visited before, you probably notice a few changes to the blog. I have implemented and designed a new theme. I hope you like it!
 At the beginning of April, I was lucky enough to spend a week in Austin, TX. Although I grew up in Charlotte, I was actually born in Austin. I only lived there for about 8 months, so I do not remember it. I will always call Charlotte home, but technically Austin is my original home….
 Okra is an interesting vegetable. I love the shape and texture of it. Also I think it is a fun work to say, but what do you do with it?
 Cornbread was a staple for me in college. Keep in mind I went to school in Wisconsin and unlike the South, cornbread was not a common sight on menus. When grilling season rolled around cornbread was always made. In college, I learned several things about cornbread…
 I was at my mom’s last weekend and she was making steak! Pretty good timing on my part. As usual, she cooked more than my brothers and I could eat (my youngest brother doesn’t like steak so that left my other brother and I with literally more on our plates). We ended up with leftover…
 Colleges in the South are out for the summer, while those in the North are in the middle of their exams. For all those students who procrastinate with baking (like I did) here is another cookie recipe to make. These are oatmeal, butterscotch, toffee and coconut. If you are done with school then congrats! Cookies…
