Dog-Friendly Spots in Atlanta Worth Wagging About

As if you and your pooch needed more reasons to love the Peach State.

The dog days of summer are looking pretty spectacular for Atlanta pups in the city. Long gone are the days of being stuck in the backyard. Today’s Peach State pups can happily roam the city enjoying everything from coffee shop dates to some seriously delicious al fresco dining (with special treats catered to the one of the leash, of course). It’s true. Atlanta dogs have some of the best parks, paths, and patios in the South right at their paws.

Boy, was he right.

50 Holiday Recipes You'll Definitely Want to Include in Your Christmas Festivities

Including our most Southern Christmas white cake ever.

Nothing captures the spirit of Christmas quite like the familiar smells that fill your Southern kitchen, season after holiday season. From party-pleasing appetizers to festive dinner dishes to classic holiday cookies, food is what brings us together every December.

This year, we’re getting the party started with 14 new holiday appetizers that suit any size or type of gathering. Whether you’re swapping gifts with girlfriends, hosting a family gathering, or having the whole neighborhood over after the tree lighting, one of these snacks will see you through, from the sweet-and-spicy meatballs to the beer cheese fondue to the smoked sausage pretzel bites.

We settled on three special-occasion mains—think citrusy, brown sugared baked ham and herby prime rib—to go with standout side dishes you never knew you needed. (Seriously, wait until you see the Melting Sweet Potatoes and Brussels Sprout Slaw.) And then onto the cookies...it’s not Christmas without a few dozen of those. We’ve got you (and your cookie swaps!) covered with Yuletide-ready recipes, including peppermint truffles, ambrosia macaroons, and brown sugar cookie stars.

But for the Christmas Eve dinner, save the very best: Southern Living’s 2019 White Cake. We gave this holiday classic a delicious new makeover. A Chocolate-Buttermilk Cake is generously iced with a special Swiss Meringue Buttercream and topped sugary cake toppers in the form of two iconic Southern flowers: magnolias and camellias.

Have a merry little Christmas, y’all, starting with these 50 best-ever holiday recipes.

North Carolina Mountain Home with Waterfall Running Through the Yard Hits Market for $1,199,000

Talk about a tour de force.

And you thought a showstopping fireplace was a focal point. At this recently listed Ferguson, North Carolina home — a few miles outside of Blowing Rock—you can have a real waterfall cascading through your grounds, making for a beautiful backdrop to lazy afternoons reading on the porch or gathered around a pitcher of sweet tea with friends. “This home is an architectural wonder, with a private creek and waterfalls directly alongside the home. It is a rare offering, as creeks are typically found at property borders and not near the home itself—and waterfalls are very seldom visible from a home. The estate is the perfect blend of luxury and privacy, nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Parkway," Jim Otterman, Premier Sotheby’s International Realty, said of the property.

Indeed, 762 Elk Ridge Road has high ceilings, walls of windows, and several decks to give you stunning views of the waterfall, with all parts of the home thoughtfully designed by the architect-owner. But there's more than just babbling curtains of water: The majestic abode also features updated interior with a Rumford-style fireplace, a chef’s kitchen and pantry with extended cooking area, a 566-square-foot guest suite, and a pool. Keep scrolling to see the three-bedroom, four-bathroom home that sits on 10 acres within the private equestrian community of Leatherwood Mountains (adjoining properties, with a total of three homes on 40 acres, are also for sale). Please invite us over for that sweet tea.

Our 70 Easiest Ever Christmas Cookie Recipes

An early Christmas present to you.

Christmas means cookies. Lots of cookies. When the season is upon us, it’s time to start thinking what cookies to bake for our family, fill up our cookie tins with for gifts, serve at our potlucks, and munch on as we start wrapping yet another present. Are you going for a festive cookie to decorate with icing and candies or a more subdued cookie that evokes the season with flavors like cinnamon, peppermint, ginger, and—of course—chocolate? Well, sometimes our schedules dictate what treats we’re baking. We just don’t always have the time to make batches of complicated masterpieces. Sometimes, we want a delicious, simple cookie that, if we’re being honest, tastes just as good but with half the hassle. That’s where these scrumptious yet easy holiday cookie recipes come in—they give you all of the Christmas cheer with a little less effort. (And we are all for it). Check out these 25 easy Christmas cookies you’ll be making all season long.
