They're the joyful agains our children shout on the swings, the

2

exhausting agains of cooking and laundry,

and the difficult agains of discipline.

3

So much of what we do

as mothers is on repeat.

4

So what if we woke up with clarity,

knowing which agains we were called

5

to, and went to bed believing we

are faithful in what matters most?

6

We believe God's word is

the key to untangle from the

7

confusion and overwhelm we feel.

8

Let's look up together to embrace a

motherhood full of freedom and joy.

9

Thanks for joining us for this special

holiday edition of the again podcast.

10

I'm your host, Stephanie Hickox.

11

And today I'm joined by

two of the amazing deal.

12

Ladies.

13

Emily is here with her

lovely daughter, Evelyn.

14

Because Evelyn is quite the chef.

15

She's a blessing to her mother every

day, of course, but we would love to

16

hear how she comes alongside her mother

to make special Thanksgiving traditions.

17

I'm also including my daughter Adeline.

18

To share with you her favorites.

19

Today we're covering our

favorite Thanksgiving recipes.

20

A few inexpensive ways

to decorate your table.

21

How to bring your children along,

not only in the celebrations, but

22

in the preparation for Thanksgiving.

23

A fun new tradition.

24

We've started in my family.

25

And a favorite scripture

we use as a devotion.

26

We're including our

recipes in the show notes.

27

So if we make you hungry you know

where to find all that information

28

Adeline: Evelyn, I've heard for a

long time about your famous marinara

29

and other recipes that you make,

and I'm so sad that you moved across

30

the country because I was pretty

excited to try some of your creations.

31

But recently, your mom posted a

picture of these beautiful pumpkin

32

cinnamon rolls, and I would love to

hear more about how you made them.

33

They were amazing.

34

Evelyn: Yeah so, , all you're gonna need

is a package of the pre made dough for the

35

cinnamon rolls and the frosting, um, some

baker's twine, and then cinnamon sticks,

36

but make sure the cinnamon sticks are cut

in half, otherwise they would be too long.

37

You're gonna start by putting

some parchment paper on a baking

38

sheet, and you're just gonna

lay the pumpkins on top for now.

39

Then you're gonna take your

baker's twine and you're gonna

40

cut into three different sections.

41

And you're going to create a star

pattern by laying them on cross.

42

And then you're going to put your

pumpkin on top of that star pattern

43

Emily: you've made.

44

Your cinnamon roll.

45

Yeah.

46

Evelyn: And then you're gonna tie

the twine around the cinnamon roll to

47

create your six different sections,

creating your little pumpkin shape.

48

You're gonna put your cinnamon stick on

top and then just bake it like normal.

49

And then you are gonna take them out of

the oven and just let them cool for 10

50

minutes while you clean off the kitchen.

51

And then go ahead and cut that

twine while it's still a little

52

bit warm but not completely cooled.

53

And then you're gonna

just take your frosting.

54

And I melted mine a little

bit so it wasn't as thick.

55

And I just drizzled it on top.

56

And sprinkled my cinnamon

on top and that was it.

57

It was super

58

Emily: easy.

59

Steph: Annaline, dOesn't

that sound delicious?

60

Do you know what I was so impressed by?

61

Not only is she creative,

but she's really responsible.

62

Did you hear how she said, use those

10 minutes to clean up the kitchen?

63

cleaning up.

64

I am geTting better to cleaning my room.

65

But.

66

It's tricky..

67

It can be tricky, especially

when you're getting older and

68

you have all those tiny pieces.

69

That you're setting up and

making adventures for your dowels

70

emily does your family travel a lot for

thanksgiving or are you at home base

71

Emily: it's looked

different over the years.

72

When the kids were small we, before they

started school, we would travel always.

73

We had no family around us.

74

And so we were traveling for

Thanksgiving and traveling for Christmas.

75

And then as the kids got older, started

school they were in more activities,

76

which just life shifted a little bit.

77

And so we weren't able to travel for

every holidays, so that usually meant for

78

Thanksgiving specifically, we were home.

79

and it was always for us a

rather quiet holiday, wasn't it?

80

Yeah.

81

Which was nice.

82

It was peaceful.

83

Yeah.

84

We just took our time and made our

dishes and just enjoyed the day.

85

And now we have moved and we

are a little closer to family.

86

So this Thanksgiving, we will

have a lot of family around

87

which we're so excited for.

88

it's all been in stages and it's

just changed over the years.

89

Steph: I can definitely relate to that.

90

We've had some seasons where we've had to

adjust our routines for different reasons.

91

Often go to my mother-in-law's

house because her birthday

92

is right around Thanksgiving.

93

it's really special to be with her,

but then I also feel awful for making

94

her work so hard around her birthday.

95

Making us this amazing meal.

96

And even when her birthday is

on Thanksgiving, she has such

97

a beautiful servant heart.

98

And I'm always so impressed how the

food just seems to peacefully appear on

99

the table she's wonderful at preparing

and her routine is tried and true.

100

And also,

101

She has a theme birthday

as maybe because then.

102

So I want to go to both.

103

But.

104

It kinda kick it, which one

I want to go to because.

105

they got the same birthday.

106

Steph: Yes.

107

our baby cousins were born on the same

day, so it's a pretty special day.

108

Yeah, so I want to go to both.

109

We.

110

Try to find another day to celebrate them.

111

Right.

112

Steph: Yes.

113

A few years ago, we got sick and

we needed to spend Thanksgiving.

114

On our own at home.

115

And it turned out to be a really

special, and the kids were starting

116

to get a little bit older and we

developed a routine and a system where

117

they each helped me make one dish.

118

And I love it because instead

of me feeling like I'm in the

119

kitchen all day long, missing out.

120

I get to enjoy them individually.

121

And they each feel so proud

that they took part in making

122

something for the family to enjoy.

123

So I plotted out and I tried to

correspond it with things that

124

were their favorite and that were

at their ability level to make.

125

And we were able to

repeat it the next year.

126

In each year they become more

and more confident in the

127

dish that they've been given.

128

So I agree, Emily, there are different

seasons And different times where it's

129

so special to be with extended family.

130

But it can be really fun to just

have a smaller, intimate gathering

131

at home with your immediate family.

132

And I'm thankful the Lord has given

me different ways to enjoy each.

133

But i really love the idea of bringing the

kids along to take part in it if possible

134

Emily: It is so fun to bring them in when

they're young because then when they're

135

older it just happens like second nature

if you bring them in when they're young.

136

And I love hearing Adeline

say that she Samples the food,

137

she's the mashed potato taster.

138

It's just so

139

Steph: I am.

140

Adeline: That's something that

you've always done Evelyn?

141

You've always helped,

142

Emily: Yes.

143

Adeline: caN you remember some

specific ways your mom brought you

144

into the process when you were little?

145

Evelyn: Yeah, so mashed

potatoes were always my job.

146

Those are my thing.

147

I always set the table from a few

years now cause mom has always been

148

very creative about setting the table.

149

So she's taught me her

different things she does.

150

So then during Thanksgiving,

she lets me use those skills

151

and create a pretty table.

152

Emily: And I would say, I don't

know, maybe four years now

153

she's been doing it on her own.

154

So the first year she did it, I just

stepped back, I told her what all she

155

could use, and let her be creative.

156

And I had to hold myself

back from interjecting.

157

It wasn't the best

158

Evelyn: the first year.

159

Emily: But she does a wonderful job.

160

She also makes your little place

161

Evelyn: cards you make for everybody.

162

Oh yeah, I love to draw, so I like

making little place cards for everybody.

163

That's great.

164

My oldest Lincoln is quite an

artist as well, and he does.

165

An amazing job of making

place cards for us.

166

And even if we're just having a family

over for dinner, he loves to do that.

167

And he's great at it.

168

And how about you adeline how do

you like to decorate the table

169

I love.

170

Do you put flowers on the

table because it is beautiful.

171

And I love.

172

Setting the table and put fancy dishes.

173

Mom..

174

Emily: It's so fun to use the

fancy stuff, isn't it, Adeline?

175

Adeline: What are some common

decor elements that you've used

176

for your Thanksgiving table?

177

Emily: So

178

Evelyn: mom has a really big collection

of fun antique dishes, I love

179

being able to mix and match those.

180

She also has some really pretty silverware

that's really fun, but my favorite

181

is she has little napkin holders.

182

She has some in leaves, some in pumpkins,

and they're really fun to play around

183

with and make different napkin folds.

184

Emily: Oh, yeah.

185

Eva always tries different napkin

folds every year, so it's always so

186

fun to see what she's going to try.

187

And there's so many resources to find

that on YouTube, Pinterest, there's

188

so many great napkin fold fun things.

189

That's so fun

190

and a great way to make it a

little bit different each year.

191

That's so creative of you.

192

Adeline: My boys really love to go and

trim some of the greens from our bushes

193

and then help scatter that on the table.

194

And it's free.

195

And then sometimes I'll just

buy a bag of cranberries.

196

Yeah.

197

And they're only a dollar or two, and

then just scatter those on the greens

198

and then put some little tea lights,

and that's been a really simple way

199

that they can help, and it's festive.

200

Yeah, and we

201

Steph: also can put candles.

202

Yes,

203

Adeline: the candles, it's just pretty,

204

Steph: right?

205

Yeah.

206

Yes.

207

And sometimes you've done floating candles

and you definitely want to keep those

208

centerpieces blow when you have little

ones, so they can see across the table.

209

I think it's time.

210

We heard about some of your favorite

Thanksgiving recipes, DEO ladies.

211

What are your top picks

212

Evelyn: what would you say, Evie?

213

So I have two favorites that I always

I'm super happy if we have leftovers,

214

because I will eat it for a week straight.

215

Steph: Yeah.

216

Evelyn: So I like the lef

I like the stuffing, or the

217

dressing, that is my favorite.

218

And then the green bean casserole.

219

But the green bean casserole has to have

the like, little fried onions on top.

220

So those are my favorite

221

Emily: dishes, for sure.

222

Those are always Evelyn's favorite.

223

We my favorite would be

the sweet potato casserole.

224

That's we always have the cranberry sauce.

225

It's so good.

226

And I've tried different recipes over the

years, but I think the one we gravitate

227

towards is it's a little bit of Jell

O and then mixed with The cranberries

228

and a little bit of crushed pineapple.

229

And a little, some nuts and that's

always the one we gravitate towards.

230

I think

231

Evelyn: it's a really good like palate

cleanser for in between little dishes.

232

Adeline: you know all

the verbiage, Evelyn.

233

I love it.

234

You're gonna have to send me those recipes

so I can link them in the show notes.

235

I'm getting hungry listening,

aren't you Adeline?

236

Yes.

237

It sounds delicious.

238

Adeline, can you tell what

your favorite recipes are?

239

My

240

Steph: favorite recipes are

probably Jell O, and I love the

241

potato and marshmallow casserole.

242

Adeline: Casserole.

243

Yeah, the sweet potato casserole

with marshmallows, and that's

244

what you help Mommy with, right?

245

Yeah,

246

Steph: I help

247

Adeline: her also.

248

And you help with a little

bit of everything, yes.

249

We left.

250

Um,

251

Steph: We got them on my birthday,

252

Emily: I love the matching apron idea.

253

Adeline: do you remember the appetizer

that we like to make that Ryder

254

is really good at helping with?

255

Steph: Oh,

256

yeah.

257

They're bacon wrapped dates

with goat cheese in the

258

Emily: Oh,

259

Adeline: He's so great at making them.

260

And as you're getting hungry,

cooking in the kitchen, to have

261

a couple appetizers coming out.

262

Emily: I would love that recipe.

263

Yeah.

264

For sure.

265

Adeline: and Everett, my son, is,

he likes to make a fun charcuterie

266

board For us as well, and then

to warm up some apple cider.

267

And those just, yeah, they tied us over as

the other things are finishing up and it's

268

been really neat to see what he creates.

269

I think he made a big turkey.

270

.

Emily: A great idea.

271

You always need something

to munch on while you're

272

Evelyn: prepping.

273

Because all the food

just makes you so hungry.

274

Yes.

275

Adeline: My oldest is

my mashed potato guy.

276

He loves them and so he's

excited to help with that.

277

I do too.

278

Yep.

279

Evelyn, do you have any

tips for making them

280

?

Evelyn: A lot of milk and butter makes them super creamy.

281

And then salt and pepper to taste.

282

My dad is always a taster

because he loves mashed potatoes.

283

And my dad also makes homemade gravy

out of whatever sauce is left from

284

the meat we're making that year.

285

It's really

286

Emily: good.

287

Yeah, he's always the

288

gravy guy.

289

Yeah.

290

That sounds excellent.

291

I have to share this crazy story

because it's one of my worst cooking.

292

Moments.

293

But a couple of years ago.

294

It wasn't even Thanksgiving.

295

It was actually when turkeys go on

sale after Thanksgiving and I think

296

we had traveled for Thanksgiving.

297

And so I thought, oh, well, I

didn't make a Turkey this year.

298

So I'm just going to make kind

of a mini Thanksgiving feast.

299

And I was trying to put it all together

and it wasn't as peaceful of a process.

300

Cause I was just trying to squeeze it in.

301

And I was attempting to pour the drippings

from the roasting pan into a sauce pan

302

that was on the stove to make gravy.

303

And I thought I was being so careful

and just tipping, tipping, slightly.

304

And all of a sudden, the whole

Turkey just slid on the pan and it

305

crashed onto the pan on the stove.

306

And tipped it over.

307

And then there was like

gravy and drippings, all.

308

Stove.

309

And it was a good lesson ask for

help just ask for that second set

310

of hands to hold something when you

need don't try to do it by yourself

311

Steph: it's a very crazy story.

312

It isn't

313

Emily: It's a very crazy story.

314

But it is also very hard to

get the drippings from the big

315

roasting pan to the sauce pan.

316

It is hard.

317

Adeline: I should invest

in a turkey baster..

318

, Adeline, you said that you love Jell

O, and Grandma Karin makes a really

319

special Jell O that we just love.

320

Steph: Yes.

321

Adeline: it's my favorite.

322

I just love it.

323

And she has a beautiful Jell O mold,

so It's a really pretty thing that,

324

if I don't have it on Thanksgiving,

I'm like Mom, I missed your Jell O.

325

we use a lime Jell O and then

you mix that with some orange

326

juice, and then cream cheese.

327

And mandarin oranges.

328

Emily: It's like the, it's

the thing you look forward to.

329

Adeline: Yes.

330

Steph: But Grandma Cheryl

makes an orange Jell O,

331

I think because we were so careful with

food dyes for many years and we still.

332

Try to avoid them as much as possible

but um thanksgiving my kids know that mom

333

will let them have a little jealous So

i think that's why it's such a novelty

334

Adeline: What about the desserts?

335

Adeline, do you have a favorite type of

336

pie?

337

I

338

Adeline: Don't probably have a

favorite because I like all of them.

339

. Yeah,

340

that's a good answer.

341

Steph: How?

342

' cause I am called Flavor

Girl but I will not

343

Adeline: eat an onion.

344

A raw onion.

345

But a cooked one you'll eat.

346

Yes.

347

But yes, we call her Flavor Girl because

she's very, she has culinary adventure,

348

what is your favorite, Emily?

349

Emily: Oh, my favorite pie.

350

I like pecan pie for Thanksgiving.

351

But Evelyn, in the past you've

made us pies make cherry.

352

Oh, I love your cherry

353

Evelyn: pie.

354

Cherry and apple pies I make usually,

but pecan is my favorite, but I've

355

never tried to make them before.

356

Maybe this year.

357

Yeah.

358

Maybe

359

this

360

Emily: year.

361

Adeline: Have you seen, I haven't,

I've made apple pies where I braid

362

the crust and it's really pretty, but

I saw one recently where you Like,

363

you spiral the apple slices, and so

they look like rosettes in the crust.

364

It just looks absolutely gorgeous.

365

So That's on my list of

things to try at some point.

366

Emily: That's so cool.

367

Are you trying it this year?

368

Adeline: We are going

to my mother in law's

369

Emily: Oh, okay.

370

Adeline: but I could offer to bring a pie.

371

That would be...

372

I should do that.

373

Emily: Pies are always

wanted at Thanksgiving.

374

100%.

375

And homemade whipped cream.

376

Adeline: Yes.

377

Yep.

378

It Has to be the real

379

Emily: Has to be the real stuff.

380

There's nothing like it.

381

For

382

Adeline: My mom makes this

incredible pumpkin pie with streusel

383

Steph: on

384

Adeline: the top.

385

So it's like a walnut, brown sugar.

386

It's so good.

387

Cause it's combining the benefit of the

pumpkin pie with The pecan pie, basically,

388

and so then you don't have to pick.

389

You're just getting it.

390

Emily: Like the best of both worlds.

391

For sure.

392

Pie worlds.

393

Adeline: Yes,

394

And I love, that you can make

pies in advance a little bit.

395

So it, I think you learn the tricks

that, okay, this actually can be a

396

peaceful process if we just map it out.

397

But sometimes it takes a couple years.

398

I'm making you hungry,

399

Steph: Adeline.

400

No.

401

The talking makes me hungry.

402

Because I thought

403

Emily: Oh, me too, Adeline.

404

I'm so ready for Thanksgiving.

405

But yes, the timing, that's one thing

I was thinking as you were talking.

406

Evelyn has mapped out our time pretty

well for dishes over the past few years.

407

And so she always has a little schedule.

408

Once we make them and time it out, she

has a little schedule on the island

409

and we just check things off as we go.

410

So she's really.

411

She's helped organize that for us

412

Steph: Okay,

413

Emily: because it's all about the timing.

414

Steph: Evelyn, that's so helpful.

415

thAt you mapped that out.

416

Yep, I do the same thing and then

they know the times that they're

417

going to be expected to help me in the

kitchen and it really has become...

418

It's really fun.

419

It is fun, and I can picture

you sitting on the counter with

420

me and your cute little apron.

421

With the spatula in your mouth.

422

So who is really wonderful at

helping with our turkey, Adeline?

423

Ryder.

424

Adeline: Yes, Ryder.

425

And me.

426

Steph: Yeah, Ryder loves all things

animals, and so that has to be his job.

427

And he does an amazing job of rubbing

it with lemon butter and the herbs.

428

And I do it, too.

429

And of course we have to make, the

turkey dance a little bit, right?

430

Yeah, it's gotta be the turkey dance!

431

Adeline: And then we put lemons in it.

432

and

433

Steph: then apples and onions and herbs.

434

Onions?

435

Adeline: Yes, but they're cooked.

436

Okay.

437

good..

438

Steph: And if I take the time to

put on fun music, just something

439

sweet in the background, I think it

helps set the tone for the whole day.

440

And I find I It does.

441

It does, right?

442

We just love to be in the kitchen so much

more when we've got We play Michael Bublé.

443

Michael Bublé Christmas

is one of our favorite

444

Emily: So

445

Steph: Yeah.

446

Emily: Yes.

447

Steph: well, we just

had snow on Halloween.

448

I feel like when that first snow hits,

it's permission to enter into all things

449

Christmas.

450

Emily: I, I totally agree.

451

Yeah,

452

Evelyn: for sure.

453

For sure.

454

I just decorated my room.

455

Yes.

456

Like, Eva

457

Emily: decorated.

458

Yeah,

459

Last night.

460

Right?

461

Yeah.

462

She put up her little mini tree.

463

so where we're at, fall

lasts for a long time.

464

There's still leaves on

and they're beautiful.

465

But when we lived where

you're at, same thing.

466

When that snow hit, I was

ready for all things Christmas.

467

Steph: we often decorate

our Christmas tree

468

the day after Thanksgiving, if we're home.

469

That works well for us.

470

I'm sure there have been some

years that if we're traveling,

471

maybe we do it beforehand.

472

But a tradition I heard of a couple years

ago that I started is to give each child

473

an ornament after Thanksgiving dinner.

474

Emily: that's a great idea.

475

Yeah, that's really sweet.

476

Steph: Hobby Lobby always has such great

deals on ornaments Any guests that are

477

joining us as well, I find an ornament

for everyone, and something that made

478

me think of them, we're not going over

the top with gifts and everything.

479

The focus is still on the

Lord and His blessings to us,

480

but it's a neat kickoff too.

481

Emily: I love that idea.

482

That is such a sweet idea.

483

Evelyn

484

And I got ourselves in a a

little pre season, Excitement.

485

Yesterday, we went out shopping

and Eva said, Mom, what if we had a

486

little mini tree for the counter top?

487

And so in the kitchen.

488

So we found these little ornaments

that are butter sticks and then

489

little, wooden stir spoons that we'll

put ribbon on and use as ornaments.

490

And that, that, will be it.

491

Adeline: That's so cute.

492

How

493

Evelyn: So we are dangerous

together at Hobby Lobby.

494

Adeline: It's,

495

Steph: I

496

know, and they do the, the 50 percent

off or the 60 percent off and then,

497

and, they're beautifully made.

498

The ornaments are so pretty.

499

My grandpa O'Malley, he's Betsy's father.

500

He passed away before I was born,

but I'm told that every Thanksgiving

501

he would read Psalm 103 and

he had a wonderful deep voice.

502

He was a coach of many sports So my

mom will always say, I can hear my

503

dad's voice saying, Bless the Lord,

O my soul, and all that is within me.

504

But I would love to share that

right now, some of those verses,

505

because obviously that's the point

of everything that we're doing here.

506

It may be a delicious holiday, it's

beautiful, and it's a fun, special

507

time with family, but we want it

all to point back to the Lord and

508

His goodness and His favor upon us.

509

Psalm 103 says, Bless the Lord, O

my soul, and all that is within me.

510

Bless his holy name.

511

Bless the Lord, O my soul, and

forget not all his benefits.

512

Who forgives all your iniquity.

513

Who heals all

514

Adeline: your diseases.

515

Steph: Who redeems your life from the pit.

516

Who crowns you with

steadfast love and mercy.

517

Who satisfies you with good, so that

your youth is renewed like the eagles.

518

And then it ends with, Bless the Lord,

O you his angels, You mighty ones who do

519

his word, Obeying the voice of his word.

520

Adeline: Bless the Lord, all his

521

Steph: hosts, His

ministers who do his will.

522

Bless the Lord, all his works,

In all places of his dominion.

523

Bless the Lord, O my soul.

524

some years I've even taken

brown wrapping paper.

525

And cover the table with that.

526

and then writing blessings on our table

that we think of and that's really

527

special or I've made a tree on our wall

and have the kids all month fill out

528

different things that they're thankful

for and we try to get as many leaves

529

on the tree as possible and we try not

to repeat anything and I think it's,

530

it is a wonderful month to focus on it.

531

Obviously, we want gratitude to be

something we're doing all year, but

532

to train them to have eyes to see

the goodness of the Lord all around.

533

.

So it I think before the busyness of the Christmas season kicks in,

534

it is a nice time to reset our

hearts about what it's all about.

535

Emily: which we have so much, and

then headed to Advent and Christmas.

536

It's just a nice reset..

537

Steph: We also love to

play games as a family.

538

Oh, yeah.

539

Evelyn: when we're all waking up.

540

we get donuts and then we watch

the Macy's Day and we look through

541

Black Friday deal magazines.

542

Emily: Yes, we do.

543

We, we do have the Macy's Parade

on while we're Prepping in

544

the very beginning in morning.

545

Yes.

546

. Steph: Thank you so much for joining us.

547

It's really special to hear about your

different traditions and the ways that

548

you've brought Evelyn along in the process

over the years, and I can tell that

549

she's such a blessing and a help because

she's been allowed that opportunity And

550

I'm really excited to try those cinnamon

551

Adeline: rolls.

552

So thank you for sharing about that

553

Emily: yes, you all too.

554

Thank you.

555

556
