The follow up to Sunday Chicken; as it's a good way to use the remaining bones and bits. Though I came up with this soup on a Sunday and used a pound of chicken heads from a local farmer instead. So ya know... "Bone broth" has become a trendy term, but people have been making [...]

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. [...]
No Crying in Baseball
Minutes before we were to walk out the door, my brother arrived with my grandfather's garden shears in his hands. "We figured you probably already had some nice ones, but thought you might also like these. Because, well...they were his, ya know?" Made to last. They're notably heavier than the shiny new. But they weigh [...]
It was worth it
Each week he is taught the power of a dollar given to good and the power of an hour given to help. This week he was also taught the power of a ballot. He stood at my side as I explained that a small mark would join others and together be one loud voice. He [...]
Heart Shaped Pancakes
My Love- This morning was hardly idyllic. Messes on floors. Trash to curb. Bills to pay. The sun had just punched the clock. Already, you and I a bit worn and weary, laughed about it being Valentine’s Day. As you walked to the door, I fought to pull you back with my eyes. You smiled. [...]

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
This is a delicious (and extra nutritious) way to enjoy Potlikker (if you are not sure what that is or how to make it, you can find instructions under Liquid Gold). 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). [...]
