Around 2000 years ago, on the evening before His crucifixion, Jesus participated in what is known as The Last Supper. Supper. For us western hemisphere Christians, that word conjures up something a little different than what was actually going on in the upper room with Jesus and His disciples. It was not an everyday supper, […] Read more…
I’ve been at this marriage and parenting thing for almost twenty years now and, somehow, I am still completely shocked and caught off guard every single evening when the concept of “dinner” arises. Without fail, around 5:30 in the afternoon, my kids will find me outside with my hands full of weeds and ask me […] Read more…
I am a recipe hunter. Yes, I have cookbooks and research fun recipes. But my favorite recipes come from people I know. Whose yummy treats I’ve tried. I will hunt your recipe for YEARS if I love it enough. I am still trying to squeeze a cole slaw recipe out of a girl from 2009. […] Read more…
Do you shop at Publix? Well, I don’t mean to be free advertisement here, but you should. Besides the fact that they are the cleanest store you could ever go to, with incredible customer service, they also have hired sweet old grandmothers to come in twice a week and basically cook an entire meal to […] Read more…
So, it’s Friday. And I don’t know about you, but I plan on hanging out with my hubby and watching a movie on the couch… with popcorn. I ate popcorn all the time growing up. My dad loved it so much that mom bought him an official movie popcorn maker when I was in kindergarten. […] Read more…

When was the last time you ate an entire plate of raw vegetables? Exactly. It was probably around the same time I did, which was when Zach and Kelly Kapowski were the hottest couple on TV. Nah, not even then. I take it back. I’m just not a big fan of vegetables. When I had kids, however, I thought I’d […] Read more…
I am a complete noodle snob. Not a snob like, I-enjoy-correctly-pronouncing-noodle-names-with-Giada-De-Laurentiis type of snob. More like…I-love-all-pasta-all-the-time-as-long-as-it’s-actual-pasta snob. The more butter and salt… the better. As a self-professed snob of noodles, you can only imagine how unwelcome an imposter of noodles can be. Healthy… carb-less… gross. Until the day my husband gave me a spiralizer… You never KNEW how many crazy […] Read more…
It’s beautiful and sunny and wonderful outside! Perfect weather to play outside and even more perfect to make some SUN TEA! Have you ever had Sun Tea before? Well, it’s exactly what it sounds like, tea that is not made on the stove top, but is cooked with the heat of the sun. Today I made […] Read more…
I woke up this morning to find the high will be 71 degrees. In Alabama, this is not only Fall weather but could even be considered winter weather. So, with a southern nip in the air, I’m in the baking mood. What goes better with cool weather than hot coffee and what goes better with […] Read more…
