Guest Author 3 Minute Read My kitchen window isn’t very big and it’s nothing fancy. Just a little kitchen window above my sink with some pretty fabric draped across the top. But it is my kitchen window. The one my dear husband put in just for me.
When we first got married I became homesick for everything familiar that I had left behind; for the view from my mom’s kitchen window. I had a lot to learn about life and love along with some growing up to do.
Elisabeth Adams 5 Minute Read Once upon a time, I was a skinny blonde seven-year-old, learning to make cookies in a ranch-style home in California. I left the actual baking to my mamma: a mysterious process that involved way too much heat for me. And that was my very first kitchen, a place that has since become my natural habitat….
Lanier Ivester 3 Minute Read My day just isn’t complete without a cup of tea. Okay—several cups of tea. Well, let’s just go ahead and make it several pots of tea. I pretty much drink it all day long. There’s the morning charge of Yorkshire Tea in my darling brown betty pot. Then the mid-morning elevenses of white or green,…
Callie Mitchell 6 Minute Read It’s a prime buzz phrase of our generation, and a perspective shared by atheists and believers alike. Assert the statement, “I hate religion” and you’re sure to gain a following. The outcry is sincere, and the concerns are valid. A spirit of religion is plain mean. Antagonistic to freedom, and anti-relational in its nature, religion…
Hayley Novak 5 Minute Read I had a light bulb moment while listening to a friend share about a missions conference where the conference goers were shocked and disgruntled to find a scheduled “authentic meal” to be a simple bowl of rice. I was instantly intrigued by the idea: I would give my kids a rice night. We would eat nothing but rice and water….
Kami Williams 3 Minute Read Food makes me excited. I get giddy about cooking and trying new recipes in the same way that some women do about shoe shopping. When I have free time, I begin scrolling my multiple Pinterest food boards and planning my next adventure. I begin thinking of the way sauces can be used on pasta or how to…
Danielle Carey 4 Minute Read I’m a night owl who also somehow likes the morning vibe. As long as it’s not too early, I relish the relative quietness of the day’s beginning. I like the pottering around feeling of getting ready for work. I enjoy the morning light filtering through half-open blinds. I like the routine of getting my zombified…
Guest Author 4 Minute Read by Lindsay Lea It took me 26 years to get into the kitchen, and when I finally did it was not by choice, but rather necessity. I was raised on Bisquick, Top Ramen, and “homemade” meals that mostly came from a box or a can. My mother was a product of her generation, and the daughter…
Jeannie Pederson 3 Minute Read My kitchen is a busy place. I have two small children and a husband who works odd (and long) shifts, lots of ministry opportunities, and we love to share meals with friends despite our busyness. I need to stay flexible and not be tied to the kitchen in this season of life, so I currently…
Jenni Marie 2 Minute Read The waitress probably thought we were fighting; based simply on the intensity of our words, her assumption was valid. Our date night date night was evolving into a peel-back-the-layers-and-look-deeper discussion. The topic? Our kitchen renovation. This renovation has been five years in the making. My husband began updating his newly purchased home before we were…
Natasha Metzler 5 Minute Read We all heard the story from the time we were little. How Mama and Papa got married and she would cook her one-pot wonders. Tater tot casserole was just the beginning–she had a dozen different ways of getting her babies to eat their vegetables. Eventually the day came when Papa sat down at the table,…
Rachelle Rea Cobb 2 Minute Read I want a kitchen like my mother’s someday. I don’t necessarily mean I want honey-golden countertops like hers, cranberry cabinets, the double fridge set-up, or even a similar dark wooden kitchen table. All of those things are wonderful, and I wouldn’t mind having them. But what I really want goes beyond decor. I want a…
The End.
