Carrot Souffle with Candied Pecan Topping
Recipe cred for this delicious Carrot Soufflé goes to my hairdresser, Lisa Hattaway. Of course, I added a candied pecan topping because that’s just how the women in my family role. We are genetically bound to tweak a dish. I wanted to give this dish a trial run before Thanksgiving, and y'all, have mercy! Phil and I gave it an A+ and we would grade

We need to chat… I stand amazed at the ever-increasing list of things offending my fellow Americans. Every day reveals a new trigger, defined as anything that reminds someone of a previous trauma and causes them to have an intense emotional or physical
Thanksgiving kicks off with FREE Printables!
Thanksgiving! It's long been one of my hands-down favorite holidays, and I'm so grateful, no pun intended, that this season of gratitude has proven more resistant to the trappings of commercialism than our other celebrations. May it always be, right?! So, in the spirit of the season, I've created y'all a little Thanksgiving gift! PRINTABLES! I printed the ones you see here in heavy cardstock with a

I hear you like a story that gives you chill bumps. Okay, I’ve got some potentially creepy words for you today. We’ll be reading straight from the fifth chapter of Daniel if you want to open your Word. However, I'm going to be sharing it in storytelling style. Now, I know this next admission will also be shocking, but I'm aiming to add some commentary
On the new year, southern sayings, and tweeting God
Happy New Year, y’all. 2019 has arrived. I remember listening in to an adult conversation years ago and hearing my Uncle Bryon talking about what he thought we’d see in the future. Back then 2019 sounded quite futuristic to my young ears. Uncle Bryon used to say that one day the roads would move instead of the cars. He saw us driving our vehicles onto the

Giving Thanks, A Christmas Adventure
Did that title throw you? It sounds like I’ve smushed Thanksgiving smack dab into Christmas, doesn’t it? I’ll explain. For years now, I’ve been on a quest to learn how to live Christmas with Jesus instead of doing Christmas the way the world does. Many of you have been sharing that journey with me through my Advent devotionals. During that time, you’ve also joined me in
The After Christmas Staredown
Hello folks, let’s chat… The tree is bare, presents have been opened, and there’s a solid chance that large amounts of sugar have been consumed. Fa, la, la, la, la, and all that, but if you have little ones afoot, I hope you have a good stare down skill. You may find it helpful right about now. A good stare-down is hard to teach. Personally, I
