Mentoring, Leadership, & Homemaking
Y’all, ranch dressing just makes everything better! As I try to fill my diet with more fresh veggies, this is something that will definitely help. And I can feel better about it because it’s homemade, not a bottled store-bought version with lots of preservatives and additives. You can make it even healthier by using low-fat mayo and sour cream or subbing Greek yogurt for the sour cream. What You Need: ¾ cup mayonnaise ¾ cup sour cream 1 tbsp. olive {Read More}
This year as we go through the Fruit of the Spirit I was thinking… Hmm… what kind of recipes would fit that theme? And the first one that came to mind is one I grew up with. My mom would make Moos out of various kinds of dried fruit, and we’d eat it for supper as a side dish, often with ham. I love Moos! My kids love Moos!

Like a creature of habit, the girl always bought the same thing. A grilled burger on a lightly toasted bun with grated cheddar cheese and Sauce. Oh, the Sauce. Happiness {Read More}
If you visit Atlanta there’s a local dive you must not miss–Grecian Gyro located on Virginia Avenue by Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. It’s a hole-in-the-wall with little parking, but that doesn’t stop anyone. We all wait for parking before going in to wait for food! Funny thing is, you really don’t have to know the restaurant’s proper name. Just say, ‘Greek place by the airport’ and everyone knows exactly where you’re talking about. Grecian Gyro is famous for authentic Greek gyros and souvlakis along with out-of-this-world {Read More}
Loi Palmer, November 2005 MMCW 1 (16 oz) bag fresh cranberries, 1 naval orange, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup chopped pecans. Coarsely chop cranberries and naval orange (include the peel–remove the seeds) in food processor. Stir in sugar and pecan pieces. To get the full flavor, make it two days ahead and refrigerate.
We all need good mentors offering practical advise, wisdom, encouragement, and friendship. Here at MMCW you will find a storehouse of mentoring between generations, just as it should be.
