A little kitchen hack one of you shared with me when I said I stand here for 10 minutes holding a hand mixer to make marshmallows. I had another four batches to make so I tried it and life is changed. Slip a wire rack between the mixer and the beaters and let it do the work. ⚠️Stay close by and keep an eye on it of course.

Marshmallow tutorial visual aid incoming once these set and I can cut them and show you the finished product.

Heyooooo! We had a bit of a drive yesterday and I used some of that time to hopefully help you🫶🏼.

✨I updated my gift guide to include every holiday sale I could find for the things I use and love most. I also added a comprehensive list of the ALLT-approved brands I share about all year long with their sale details and links so it’s all in one easy place for you. You’ll need to go to the link in my bio to open the clickable version since IG posts don’t allow tappable links.

🔗heres the link! https://drive.google.com/file/d/17bfXEQvIZ4l0UiRFxt4j4KGk8T_Ocd3e/view?usp=drivesdk

There’s also a full sale roundup on my website under Discounts > Current Sales if you want to bookmark it.

Ingredients
1 to 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
1 small onion chopped
2 celery stalks chopped
2 to 4 garlic cloves crushed
1 to 1.5 pounds chicken cubed
One 16 ounce bag frozen peas and carrots blend
2 to 3 cups diced gold potatoes
Salt and pepper to taste
About 1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon turmeric
About 2 cups chicken broth
About 1 cup cream or milk (optional)
1 to 2 tablespoons tapioca flour to thicken
Frozen biscuits or your own homemade biscuits

Directions
This is a simple variation of the chicken pot pie from my cookbook
I took a shortcut with a full bag of frozen peas and carrots and I didn’t have any green beans so I left those out
And I don’t normally add potatoes to my chicken pot pie, but they sounded good so I tossed them in here
Cook the cubed chicken in the oil or butter until lightly browned
Remove the chicken and add a little more oil
Toast the turmeric briefly
Add the onion and celery and sauté until tender
Add the garlic for one minute
Stir in the diced potatoes
Add the frozen peas and carrots
Season with salt, pepper, and thyme
Pour in the broth and cream and sprinkle in the tapioca flour to thicken
Let it gently bubble until slightly thickened
Transfer everything to a baking dish
Top with frozen biscuits or your homemade biscuits
Bake according to your biscuit package or recipe
Mine baked at 380° for about 24 minutes until the biscuits were golden and the filling was bubbling

Cozy, simple, and so easy for a weeknight dinner.

I finally did it. After one of you shared she’d been digging through the archives here to save each separate Thanksgiving recipe post to try and collect and use, I said to myself, “That’s it! Make it happen, Holman!” I’ve been meaning to do this for you (and for myself!) for years. I saved all the recipes I make for Thanksgiving in one easy to use and print place 🙌🏼 I included some of my tips and tricks too. I hope it’s helpful. I’ll add it to my website soon, but if you want the link before then…

🍂Comment the word THANKS and I’ll have the robots send it to your DM inbox right away. 🍽️

I’m thankful for you!

What a truly special event. I hope to attend every year Share The Arrows is held and I hope I get to meet you there next year.

I’ve been rewatching the whole day on BlazeTV because it was so dang good. You can too - I think code (ALLIE) gives you a discount when you sign up. This event was full of moments and voices that filled the room and filled my heart with encouragement. Reminding me to keep showing up. As Allie regularly reminds us, “do the next right thing in faith, with excellence, and for the glory of God.” One day, one moment, one act of obedience at a time.

I’ll tag the other speakers here as well as some of those beautiful faces you saw in the video so you can find them easier, in case you’re not yet acquainted with their goodness.

Whatever God calls you to do, I recommend you go full “you” too.
