New Year’s Day with my Red Pepper Roast
Hey porchers, welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. I’ve got the perfect entrée for your New Year’s Day meal. My group likes finger foods served in front of the TV while we’re watching those bowl games so I'll be whipping up my very pretty “Red Pepper Roast.” We'll slice it and serve it with "Peppered Butter” on sweet Hawaiian rolls.

Christmas 2013 Laptops and Love Notes
Hello folks, let’s chat… The good news is, I got a new laptop for Christmas. The bad news is, I wasn't through with my old one but the poor thing didn't have the stomach for the full cup of coffee it was offered. It checked out on the spot.

Bring Others Into the Sanctuary this Christmas
God and I have several special places we like to share but it was clear that I wasn’t going to be experiencing any of them that particular morning.

My aversion is limited to clothes shopping. During my growing up years,
The Christmas Story, To Be Continued…
The beloved hubby and I were totally engrossed in the drama playing out on the screen and the mounting suspense of the plot. We had both lost track of time which allowed us to be surprised, and not in a good way, with three of the most irritating words ever heard by anyone absorbed in a story line, “to be continued.” Bummer! Cliffhangers are well named. They
Tree Trimming is Serious Business, Y’all
Merry Christmas folks, let’s chat…No doubt y’all have finished shopping and wrapping and are enjoying quiet evenings with the family straight out of a Lifetime movie. But, should you be one of the harried ones racing the fat man to the wire, try not to let the pressure get to you. Reports are stacking up with this year’s holiday run-ins. Some are sad, and some are
