Usually we serve my Potato-Fennel Gratin recipe, but this new on …  Mm-m-m, so cheesy good.

And I love the individual servings!

Bake without cheese for 30 minutes, then add the cheese, and bake until melted and brown on top!

Serve with fresh chives sprinkled on top!

This was our Christmas dinner this past week. (Scallop recipe coming soon.)

I really love the Magnolia Journal (magazine), an inspiration for life and home. Friends, have you read it? It’s full of great words of wisdom, inspiration, stories that will make you weep, stories that will help you want to be a better person, and so much love. What a beautiful magazine!

What really is inspiring, besides looking at Joanna and Chip’s designs, stories, and photos, is the last page.

I can’t wait to get to the end of the magazine because these words are so true and honest, I usually read them twice.

Magnolia Manifesto

Magnolia Manifesto:

We believe that newer isn’t always better and that there is something inherently good in hard work. We believe that friends who feel like family are the best kind of friends and that nothing matters more than family. We believe that today is a gift and that every day miracles are scattered about if only we have the eyes to see them. We believe in seeking the balance between hustle and rest and striving to be passionate about both: a leisurely first cup of coffee to start the day mindfully and then at day’s end not clocking out from a job ’til you’re proud.

We believe failure needn’t be a negative thing; rather, we learn from our mistakes and fail smarter next time. We believe in doing work that we love and, in choosing that, nudging others toward doing what they love. We believe in courage, in cartwheeling past our comfort zones and trying something a little bit scary every day. We believe in subtle beauty, the kind that doesn’t deteriorate with age or wear.

And of all heroic pursuits large or small, we believe there may be none greater than a life well-loved.

These words are worth passing on, or printing out, and sharing with others!
