One of the lessons of 2020 is the importance of relationships. There is no substitute for in person and face-to-face conversations. Zoom and FaceBook don’t cut it. One of my intentions for 2021 is to find ways to encourage and deepen relationships.
It’s time to revive some old traditions.
January is National Sunday Supper Month. During the early years of our marriage, my husband was the pastor at a small church in a small faming community. We started going to another young couple’s home after Sunday evening services for supper. We went to their house because they had kids to get to bed. Sometimes I cooked. Sometimes Carie would cook. Sometimes we were joined by their parents. Sometimes we had waffles and bacon. I made a lot of homemade pizza. There was no Pizza Hut in town. Sometimes we’d have soup with cornbread. Carie made the best cornbread. The key to great cornbread is cooking it in a cast iron skillet.
It doesn’t have to be fancy. Your house doesn't have to be featured in Southern Living. Your house doesn’t have to be spotless. Make a pot of soup. Invite a friend over to share it.
Here are some ideas for simple Sunday Suppers
• Baked Potato Bar w/Chili
Let’s make 2021 the year that brings us together instead of the isolation that was 2020.
