Resurrection Sunday — Jesus Keeps His Word!
I'm back, true to my word. But of exceeding more earth shaking life-changing eternal significance, Jesus kept His Word! He's alive! Praise Him! What's more, Jesus continues to keep His Word to us this day and everyday. Somebody needs to help me shout! It's Saturday evening in my corner of the world. I've got the kitchen smelling up nicely for Easter dinner, and someone (all fingers
About those impossible things…
Is it a squash? Is it a cucumber? Is it a squashcumber! Ding,ding, ding! We have a winner! I know. I’ve done my research. I’m aware that every expert out there says this can’t happen. It’s totally okay to plant squash beside cucumbers because they can absolutely unequivocally under no circumstances cross pollinate. Except they did here on the banks of Lake Providence. Feel free to spend the
Shellie’s Refrigerator Pickles
Hello there! My herb and veggie gardens are flourishing but my harvest hasn't quite begun in earnest. (I got a late start!) Yesterday, however, I got a tad eager. So I harvested a few cucumbers and a bit of fresh dill and whipped up some homemade refrigerator pickles. This recipe takes about 4 cucumbers to produce a couple pints of deliciousness. Double or triple this
Denise Hildreth Jones visits The Story Table
Who drops the first episode of a new season of podcasts in the evening, rather than first thing in the morning? I know, I know! Me! If you've been in my circle for any length of time my unorthodox ways won't surprise you, and I'm perfectly fine coloring outside the lines, so let's get on with it. Today on The Story Table we're visiting with
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
Festival Gators and A Belated Ground Hog Day Greeting
Hey y'all, I thought I'd post this because yesterday was Groundhog Day, and I'm nothing if not right on top of things around here, right? (Don't answer that. God "don't" like ugly.) This is a little excerpt from one of my humor books, Sue Ellen's Girl Ain't Fat, She Just Weighs Heavy. It occurred to me that A) I rarely mention them anymore, and B)
Shellie’s Salted Caramel Protein Balls
Welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen. We’re making protein balls. My daughter aka Miss Kitchen Belleicious—look her up! Was the first to turn me onto protein balls. And honestly, although I enjoy them at her house, they usually fall off my radar once I get home. At least they used to, but not anymore. I’ve been experimenting with them, lately. I just whipped
Broccoli Love for People Who Don’t Think They Love Broccoli
“Broccoli Love” (for people who don’t think they love broccoli) Wash and prep broccoli. Coat with olive oil, red pepper flakes and much garlic. As Foghorn Leghorn would tell it, “I say, I say much garlic.” See pic. Spread on cookie sheet. No crowding. Your broccoli requests room to breathe, y’all, or it won’t get crunchy and all caramelizy. Yes, I make up words but sometimes I need
Shellie on Social Confusion and Hope in the Hard Places with author Sarah Beckman
Hey, y’all! We’re making Broccoli Love in the All Things Southern kitchen today, or what I fondly refer to as “broccoli for the people who don’t think they like broccoli!” Also, author Sarah Beckman will be in to chat about her new book, Hope in the Hard Places. Sarah is a national speaker and the bestselling author of Alongside, but she’s also a seasoned traveler in
