This post is in partnership with Colour Envy Painting. All opinions are 100% my own. We moved to our new house! It’s a familiar place to us because it was my husband’s grandparent’s house for the last 20 years. It’s on a small acreage outside of St. Albert. We are excited this day has finally come! Matt and I have big plans for this house – a renovation and building of a (hopefully) two-story addition in the next couple of years.

Who doesn’t love a good fritter? Something about biting into that crunchy and fluffy ball of goodness hits the spot for me. One of my favorites is a hushpuppy. This southern delite is usually made with flour, cornmeal, spices and onions. When made right they are delicious, and usually are paired with a dipping sauce.  I was looking for something different to try with some black eyed peas I had leftover from New Years.
