Trimming Turkeys and an Advent Annoucement
Hey friends! I write to you from the back porch on an absolutely beautiful Fall day. One could almost believe we’re not being slammed by another round of Corona Crazy and our nation isn’t divided over the legitimacy or lack thereof of our Presidential election. And yet, this is where we are. I could say so much right here, but I want it to be

Carrot Souffle with Candied Pecan Topping
Recipe cred for this delicious Carrot Soufflé goes to my hairdresser, Lisa Hattaway. Of course, I added a candied pecan topping because that’s just how the women in my family role.

Cranked Up Cranberry Relish
Hey y'all, and welcome back to the All Things Southern kitchen! I wanted to tell y'all about my Cranked Up Cranberry Relish. The truth is, I'm not a big fa of the cranberry molded stuff in a can. Every Thanksgiving, as long as I can remember, I've been passing it right on around the table when it comes to me. So, several years ago I
Down to the Wire!
Hello folks, let’s chat…As I geared up to lay down a holiday spread that would do my southern ancestors proud, I was thinking of Thanksgivings past.
