Who are you wearing?
Ah…the interesting universe of Hollywood and the mega rich. There are many things celebrities do, say, and wear that I find off putting, to say the least. But there are other things about their world that strike me as strange, or funny. Or both. For the sake of today’s discussion, I’d like to explore their red carpet moments and the odd habit they-- and the
Fruit Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing
Hey now! I’ll definitely be stirring up my Fruit Salad with Poppy Seed Dressing for our Fourth of July celebration, so I thought I'd share it early enough that y'all could enjoy it, too. This is one of those recipes you’ll want to have on hand while the produce aisle is just brimming with fresh fruit! Here, I’ll walk y’all through it. “Fruit Salad with Poppy Seed
Cue the Fight Song
Hello folks, let’s chat…Over the years here at All Things Southern I’ve fielded my share of grumpy reviews and hateful emails from people who aren’t from around here. If they’re really ugly it can be hard pass and repass, that’s Mama’s way of saying, “live and let live”, but I try. Other times, it’s easy to laugh ‘em off. For example, when we both know

On Word Choices and Mood Swings
Hello folks, let’s chat…As I’m sure you’ve heard, research has proven that women speak twice as many words in a day as their men do. That little fact has been well documented in the news and my own personal experience attests to it. Actually, I’m pretty sure my darling husband doesn’t even use his full male quota.

Hey y'all! The release of my next book baby is drawing every closer. It's hard to explain this feeling. (Mamas out there, I can only liken it to how it feels when your belly is big, the birthing is near, and the room is ready----only without the swollen cankles. Somebody say "halleluyer!") I would be speaking of my storytelling cookbook Hungry is a Mighty Fine Sauce. Yep, I've named this child,
News on the Sagging Population of Nudists
Hey y’all and Happy Memorial Day Weekend to everyone. I wanted to drop in and let you know that ATS LIVE will be airing a rerun Monday evening. I’ll really miss being with y’all, but it’s the right choice. Monday will find me here in Lake Providence with friends and family.

Mexican Corn Coleslaw from Church of the Cross
I've got a delicious new recipe for y'all from my recent trip to Bluffton, South Carolina, compliments of Church of the Cross and their church cookbook. One of the neatest parts of my job is the cookbook gifts I often get when I travel and speak. I’m amassing quite a collection and I love to share my finds from those treasured volumes with you!
