Cheesy Green Beans
Hello folks and welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. I’m gonna show y'all how to stir up a delicious green bean casserole without a single can of cream of mushroom soup!

Too Tempting Tamale Dip
Hello folks and welcome back to the ATS kitchen. I’m about to stir up my “Too Tempting Tamale Dip.” You might think tamales aren’t very southern. I’d have to disagree. While they might not have originated here, those of us in the LA Delta adopted tamales a long time ago. I’ll show you the ropes! 1 (16-ounce) can chili without beans 1 (8-ounce) jar picante sauce 2 cups
My daughter’s vision
Several days ago I bragged, I mean blogged about my daughter's work at Kitchen Belleicious and her debut in the pages of Southern Child magazine. Since then, I've alluded to another, larger annoucement. This would be that, my friends. While it was exciting for this proud mama to see Jessica's work at Kitchen Belleicious getting a little press, nothing can compare to the joy of watching her pursue a passion that will change
Praying for Strangers
I considered titling this post "Everything I Thought I Knew About River's New Book When I Didn't Know Squat", but I decided that a) it was a bit long and b) I shouldn't use squat in the title if I want y'all to take me seriously. And I do. So, let's start with the facts. Tomorrow marks the release of novelist River Jordan's latest book, "Praying
Born For Eternity
*Dear readers, this article ran yesterday in my weekly inspirational column for The News-Star, a Gannett owned daily out of Monroe, LA. I thought you may enjoy it being reprinted here. BORN FOR ETERNITY He was small for his age, his voice timid. The clothes he wore hung on his body in folds. I wondered if whoever bought them had done so with growing room in mind.
This is not an excuse to show off the Baby Czars of ATS!
Absolutely not. It's a post to show off my daugher-in-law. (HA! Gotcha Carey!) You may have already met, but if not, please allow me to introduce one of my great blessings, Carey Eubanks Tomlinson. I often tell Carey and Phillip that they didn't really choose each other-- oh no, I prayed her into our lives! This is true of my son-in-law Patrick as well, but I'll spotlight him
Somewhere over the rainbow…
Hope the pic goes through. Uploading to blog from my phone and I may not have all the techy t's and i's dotted & crossed but I wanted to share. I'm watering my garden and enjoying the sight of one of Father's eternal promises. He is faithful. Can you see it?
What IS my Publisher Thinking?!
Warning: This is not a feel good post. I know. I'm sorry. It's not like me to use my blog to rant but I'm shocked, confused, and more than a bit irritated and y'all know me-- I can't move on until I get stuff out through my fingers! So, you know my next book, "Sue Ellen's Girl Ain't Fat, She Just Weighs Heavy." You've heard me talking about it.
Every Old Crow Thinks Hers is the Blackest!
So, if you can't stand a little horn-tooting from a proud Southern Mama, dear ones, this may not be the post for you! :) First, a little history on a delightful publication called Southern Child magazine that you need to know about! The worthy mission of Southern Child is to inform and educate parents and care givers, to provide attractive affordable advertising to family based businesses and
You Can’t Blow Jesus Smoke in a Closed Room
One, just one, but definitely one of the great benefits of private prayer is that you can't hide from your motives. In corporate prayer, we can sound like "all that". We can blow Jesus smoke like nobody's bizness in a crowd but, get alone with Him, and He won't let you get away with the fake stuff. Try blowing Jesus smoke in your prayer
