My favorite guest chef came over this week to help make Good Things in my kitchen. Together we turned just three common ingredients into yummy PB cookies! This recipe makes a delightful old fashioned cookie in only minutes. It can just as easily become a gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free version. If you’d like to know just how to do it, here’s my little buddy to give you the whole scoop!

What’s more worthy of an all American holiday than the humble cherry pie!? My sweet Momma was about the world’s best at making them and it wouldn’t be a Titus gathering without one. Greatest addition to any celebration table! On this Memorial Day, I’m so thankful to all the men and women who have gone before us, giving up their very lives for our freedoms. We may have some divisions in our grea...

Sadly I had almost no dewberries this year. I don’t know if it was the weird wonky, hot and cold and hot and cold spring or just what. Anyhoo, it seems to have been perfect for the Mustang grapes. I have an abundance of them so I did a little digging. I found this super old recipe from the descendants of the first German settlers in Texas. Seems you can use them to make poor man’s olives! Aren...

Welp … I got 5000 and 1 new Good Things yesterday! Y’all knew I had the flowers so .. why not?? I pray to remember to see these ba-bees and be reminded of everlasting promises. As my hands work with them, I ask the Lord to help me be ever thankful for provision and sustenance. Not just to us, but to the entire planet through such tiny creatures that were set in motion to maintain perfect balan...

You guys have one more day until May Day! Just enough time to grab your kids and make one of these Good Things to drop anonymously at someone’s door. What a sweet tradition!! Help me revive this lovely and simple kindness from bygone days. We need more of these slowly disappearing customs! 🥰

I’m sure you’ve made a scrambled egg, but is it light and fluffy? Nothing quicker for a yummy, protein, packed meal! Here is how I do it using farm fresh eggs, courtesy of Jemima and the girls, down at Still Waters!

Do you need a one pot wonder? Here is the best tummy-warming, soul satisfying retro chicken dish. I have the sweetest memories of my Mom making this to feed all God’s hungry children, both in our home and at our church.

I happened onto the ancient craft of needle felting recently .. all because my very pregnant daughter found a nursery mobile she loved. It was $150 on Etsy. Gasp! In my frugal and resourceful nature, I replied, “Oh, I can make that!” A little research and an Amazon purchase later, I was happily felting jackalopes and stars and all kinds of cute wool creations for posterity. This is one of those...

Since we’re in the holiday season of GOOD THINGS, I thought I would drop off this quick recipe for deliciousness that you can keep for yourself or share as a gift. Traditional, southern wonderfulness in minutes!! Joy to the world everybody!!

Here is a quick recap of a few Good Things I did down on The Farm this past week. These I can highly recommend for experiencing plenty of joy just before Thanksgiving! Autumn hugs to you all!

If you were waiting for the Beautyberry insect repellent post, here it is! Using information online, I’ve made two types of extractions. I think technically the final extraction made with alcohol will be the most effective. You can use either extract for a mousse-like salve, a glistening oil, or a light spray. I am really loving all the textures and fragrances … and here’s the how-to!

Is there such a thing as a quick and easy yet elegant, no-bake birthday cake? YESSS!! This has long been my middle daughter and older brother’s annual request. It hails from a generation ago and the hands of my own sweet Momma. You can do this too, in no time flat, with only 4 ingredients. No recipe required … just a few simple steps!

Okay friends … here is foraged deliciousness at its best!! Beauty Berries are my new fav down on The Farm. Did you even know we can eat these? The Native Americans have been using them for food and medicine for .. ever! I just thought they were for our eyes until recently. You HAVE to make this jelly! If you’ve never canned anything, don’t despair. The process is simple and SOOOO worth the sma...
