Eggplant Parmesan Please
Our sweet garden is doing everything it can to keep producing in this Louisiana summer heat. Color me grateful. I dearly love walking steps from my back door, and getting what I need for the start of a fabulous dinner, like these beauties. I call this "When Produce Wants to Pose". Last night these beauties made it into a delicious Eggplant Parmesan. If you don't have
Shut Yo Mouth Shrimp Boil
Our sweet neighbor gifted us with some fresh Gulf shrimp yesterday, which means, the man and I did some good eating today! And, of course, I thought of y'all. I mean, I'm sure y'all know how to whip up a shrimp boil that will knock your socks off, right? That's what I thought, too. But, just in case, here are the steps that will take
The Wayfaring Man
Hey, y'all! It’s Shellie, and you've found my All Things Southern podcast. Today I'm sharing a message I recently gave at my home church, which so happens to be the one that brings you this podcast. That’s Providence, Church in Lake Providence, LA, where they want you to know that YOU are loved. We’re going to jump right in now with what I believe is
Fabulous Fried Rice
The farmer and I love fried rice but we rarely have it. For starters, we don't have a Chinese restaurant in our small town, and until recently, I've never cooked it at home. But, I do love learning new things, so I set out to mimic the fried rice dishes the beloved farmer and I have always enjoyed. And if I must say so myself,

Marking Us Safe
Hey y’all! It took a few days, but the beloved farmer and I have officially marked ourselves safe from Pops and Keggie Kamp 2020. That’s a joke, people. Kinda. In the interest of transparency, while Kamp was huge fun for all involved, it does require a herculean amount of energy. At least for the two more mature Kampers. The grands? Oh, please. Apart from that one
A Whole Lot of Fun and a Little Bit of Folly
Hey friends, let’s chat…Y'all are on my mind so much these days. I find myself wondering how y'all are doing, how your families are doing, whether y'all are sick with Covid or sick of Covid. I wonder if y'all are reeling from the news, limiting your consumption of the news, or making news. 2020 has left us all breathless, amen? I'll talk more about current
The Pandemic of Darkening Counsel Without Knowledge
I’ve been mostly social silent online since George Floyd’s murder and the subsequent peaceful protests and violent looting and rioting rocking our nation. My silence hasn’t come out of fear, intimidation, or because I don’t have things to say. Like everyone else, I have extremely strong opinions, but I’ve been keeping them to myself because I’m trying to hear what God is saying and I
Color Us Accountable
I snapped this picture the other day of Beaux and Hank monitoring the backyard. I've tried to tell the boys that the fishermen aren't a threat to us but my suspicious canines aren't buying. Bless their overzealous hearts. Still, their diligence to stand guard is a great illustration of a scriptural truth I want us to look at today. Hebrews 12:15 reads, "Looking diligently lest any
The Belle’s Cheesy Chicken and Artichoke Lasagna
I so wish I could serve you a piece of my Cheesy Chicken and Artichoke Lasagna, I really do. But, the next best thing would be to share the recipe with you and I'm about to do just that. First, the backstory? As I may have mentioned once or ten times, I love to take our favorite flavor combinations and recreate them into different dishes,
