Manis Mondays Happy Monday Everyone! Mondays always feel like a whirlwind—everyone’s back to work or school, and moms are juggling menus or grabbing dinner on the fly. Here in the South, we went from almost 70° to freezing overnight! ❄️ So tonight, it’s all about comfort food: Dinner: Beef & Noodle Soup 🍲 Rich, slow-simmered broth, tender beef, slurp-worthy noodles, and aromatic veggies—simple, hearty, and perfect for cold nights. Tomorrow’s Lunch: Chicken Gnocchi Soup 🥣 Creamy, cozy, and loaded with tender chicken, pillowy gnocchi, and fresh veggies. Tip: It tastes even better the next day because the flavors have time to meld! Soups are always a win—easy, delicious, and they warm you from the inside. 👉 What’s your go-to comfort food when the temps drop? Share your thoughts

Sunday in the South are a tradition. The Family comes together and go over what has happened the past week and what will hopefully happen next week. You say prayer or give your loved one positive thoughts, hugs, and well wishes. Many people have gotten away from the Sunday supper. I hope this will give you an inspiration to bring it back and enjoy a loving time to make more memories with your family and loved ones again. Today, at least for me, is a day of planning my week out and baking, cooking, and prepping in the kitchen for the week. My kids are grown and 2 of the 3 still live at home while they are pursuing their adventures. I will be making a menu, baking some goodies, and cooking dinner. Prepping is also an essential part of being prepared and productive for the week. So prepping the fruits and veggies, making the snacks, and baking for those little grab and goes when you don’t have time to sit down and eat. This Sunday I will be serving: Country fried steak, creamed potatoes, old time green beans, and biscuits. Let us not forget the dessert. The warm hug of bread pudding from the inside. So join me as we walk through the delicious preparation. Today’s menu Breakfast. Lunch Dinner Scrambled eggs.
