They used to say being soft meant being small. But maybe softness just means you know exactly who you are — steady, grounded, impossible to shake. Like a pot of soup that takes its time, simmering until the flavors learn to trust each other. Inspired by Julie & Julia, I’m cooking my way through Magnolia Table Volumes 1, 2, and 3. I’m calling it The Jeanie Jo & Joanna Project. Recipe 78 of 457 is Sausage & Kale Soup—and here’s how it turned out. The homemade stock was rich and layered, the sausage bold, the kale tender but strong. It wasn’t flashy or fussy. It just showed up, warm and sure of itself. Sweet like honey, warm like home. 379 recipes to go! Gracefully yours, 🫶🏻 Jeanie Jo LTKFindsUnder50 LTKFindsUnder100 LTKSeasonal
