Breathe, it’s highly recommended :)

Happy Monday, y’all! I wanted to take time for a quick visit. Hopefully, if I’ve caught you at a bad time, you can just leave me in your inbox and circle back.

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 this dish in your arsenal, I want to help you change that. Now, let’s not make this harder than it is. You can whip up Eggplant P...

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 you to a seafood feast in less than thirty minutes!

Ingredients:

2-3 Lemons

6 teaspoons minced garlic

Small bunch of Thyme

1 red onion rough chopped

Small red potat...

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 a timely word.  I hope you enjoy. ~Hugs, Shellie

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, (well, the farmer would witness for me if he were writing y’all), I’ve learned to knock it out of the park. Here’s my recipe…

Ingredients

Cooked rice that’s been chilled i...

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 time when the Z monster slipped up one Weston the Wonder Boy while we were boating, it was game on around the old homestead.

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 trying to make the news. 2020 has left us all breathless, amen? I’ll talk more about current events below. Afterwards, I need you to hit reply and talk to me, and leave any prayer requests on your heart when you do. Prayin...

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 can’t hear Him if I’m talking.

I’ve been asking God to search my heart and grant me conviction where it is needed...

Color Us Accountable

I snapped this picture the other day of Beaux and Hank monitoring the backyard.  Ive tried to tell the boys that the fishermen arent a threat to us but my suspicious canines arent 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 man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled.
