Building relationships, encouraging hope
Happy Friday, everyone!
Awhile back, I started a little feature here called Friday Favorites and I would like to bring that back again. I think it’s fun to share ideas and maybe even be able to try something new that someone recommends. So, I’ll share favorites of mine and I hope you all will comment with some of your favorite things as well.

Hi, all!
I have noticed an uptick in people asking for book recommendations on social media since our time of quarantine began. Granted, since I’m a reader, I’ve always noticed book recommendation request posts, but I definitely see an increase in that in these recent weeks. While I know NONE of us want to be “stuck” any longer than we need to be, I love that so much reading is happening too. So, I want to share several book recommendations with you all, going back over some of my favorites in the last few years as well as some all-time FAVES.

Hi, all!!
Today I want to share a recipe for a delicious low carb, sugar free lemon pound cake that I have recently discovered and REALLY like a lot! Since we are trying to cut back on our carbs and sugar intake, this is a PERFECT way to have a dessert without all the guilt. While we do not strictly adhere to a Keto diet, this is also Keto-friendly. As I said when I posted my sour cream pound cake recipe last year, I am a BIG fan of pound cake, so this is a winner for me right now in that it’s delicious, easy and guilt free.
Shout out to Mickey for installing a recipe plug-in for me. You can now print the recipe below – HOORAY!!
As I am able to, I’ll go edit my recent posts to make them more printer friendly as well. And for his efforts, Mickey has earned some lemon pound cake. I think that’s a fair trade, don’t y’all?

Hello, everyone and HAPPY FRIDAY! I realize it might not be a Friday when you read this blog post, so…happy whatever day it is, in that case.
I’m sure I’ve mentioned previously and it’s probably obvious, but I enjoy baking. This quarantine has given me more opportunities to get into the kitchen to prepare meals AND to bake, so I see those as silver linings for sure. Recently I’ve learned to make biscotti and I’m sharing the recipe with you all today. Macey loves to have biscotti with her coffee, so rather than continuing to try to buy it, we have been making it. No shade on “store bought”, but you really can’t beat homemade for quality and taste.

Two blog posts in two days. WHAAAAAAAAAT?! I feel pretty sure I’m not going to become an every day blogger, but, hey…never say never.
Today I want to share a recipe for one of our family favorites – sour cream pound cake. I would venture to say that most southerners enjoy pound cake. I can absolutely vouch that THIS southern girl ADORES a good pound cake. The top part is my absolute fave! I confess that even though I will be resisting this one, it’ll take ALL my willpower. Pound cake is absolutely delicious by itself, but can also be enjoyed in a fruit trifle, as the base for strawberry shortcake, and more. So, it’s not only great tasting, but versatile too. What’s not to love?
This is a recipe I’ve made for YEARS that I have typically made in a loaf pan. However, I just recently got a super cute new 6-cup bundt pan and I wanted to try it and it worked beautifully for this recipe. I’ll give y’all the approximate cooking times for a loaf pan AND a 6-cup bundt because they both work well. This is the PERFECT recipe for when you want some pound cake, but you don’t need a whole HUGE one. Since Mickey and I are back on our Intermittent Fasting/Low Carb/Low Sugar plan, this one is for our sweet girls to have this week.
