ALL OF THE THINGS
For Such a Time as This
The day stretched until I was sure it would burst. My arms couldn’t hold it. Both of my boys were out of sorts. Their struggles became the pick-up stick pile that I wove in and out of all day. Papa swore it was full moon angst. And I just swore that my patience was gone. [...]
Not even for a moment.
“I don’t want you to feel alone.”, he says. And a contradiction spins between my ears and barely skips past my tongue, “But I am...and I’m not. I’m alone and never alone. They are always with me. But I also feel alone in this.” Through the day they are right by my side or held [...]
January
Week 1 The first week of the year. The first week of a few household changes. And our rhythm has shifted. So I feel the need to summarize it as best as I can. We went through the week with less technology and more books. We worked through spelling words and math equations. We told [...]
Bison Chili
Chili is one of my favorite comfort foods. Fortunately, it's also easy to make and full of nutrients. This version is packed with protein, iron, folate, potassium, manganese, vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, C, E, K...and more. Though it's called Bison Chili, you can certainly substitute beef (or omit meat all together and double [...]
Potlikker Ramen

Main Ingredients: 16oz. jar of Potlikker (per serving of noodles) Ramen noodles Shichimi Togarashi (to taste; I add about a tablespoon) Toppings (these are [...]
Liquid Gold
Potlikker- the nutrition packed old school broth of the South- has been around far, far longer than I or recent broth trends have. And I'm sure there are many methods for creating it. But here are my simple instructions for a soul warming potlikker that'll cure what ails ya (or at least make you smile). [...]
My Adult Life
He describes it in perfect detail. From the fireproof walls to the color of the front door. The bathroom floors are penny tiles. On the dining room wall hangs a fruit bowl still life painted by his own hand. He can tell you the floor plan precisely. His eyes have memorized a scene they’ve only seen in [...]
Sunday Chicken
This is the simple chicken and vegetable roast that Damon makes on Sunday evening. We play with the seasoning and vegetables a bit, according to what we have on hand. But the method remains the same and provides consistent results. If you have ever found yourself with dry, bland chicken... this is for you: Ingredients: pasture raised, [...]
A Fractured Line
“You’re not alone. It’s going to be okay.” As soon as the words left my lips I realized I had spoken them for myself too. He curled up alongside; just happy to be near and safe. He believed me when I said that everything would be fine. Even as I wrestled with it. I was up [...]
