Encouraging moms they can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens them!
Ahh.. summertime in the south.. Sweet tea. Tomato sandwiches. Corn on the cob. Fried Squash. Does it get any better than that? Those were the things I grew up on. My Dad always had a huge garden so my mom made us garden fresh dinners or “suppers” like the one above all the time. There’s just something about a huge plate of vegetables straight from the […]

Dying Queen Anne’s Lace is another one of those childhood memories I’m passing on to my daughter. I remember doing these as a child at Vacation Bible Schools and with my mom. It’s such a simple way to add some color to an already beautiful flower. Queen Anne’s Lace (also known as wild carrot) is a beautiful, white flower. They […]

I love eating zucchini everyday while it’s in season (no, really, I do!) but I’m also a practical girl. I wanted a way to preserve zucchini and squash throughout the year for all types of recipes. So, naturally, I did what anyone does these days.. I asked if anyone had any suggestions on facebook, LOL. That’s when my friend Merissa, from […]

During the summer I love to make things for dinner that don’t heat up my house. I use the microwave, the grill and the crock pot to my full advantage! It’s already 90 something degrees outside- who wants to stand over a burner or crank an oven up to 350°? Not me! Especially since our air isn’t really all that […]

We’re experiencing a serious heat wave in North Carolina this weekend- forecasts for temperatures up to 106°… in June! I’m so glad to be done freezing corn and canning beans! When I finished yesterday morning I really didn’t do anything for the rest of the day. Well, except maybe drool over some of my favorite food blogs and the thought of this […]
