52 Sunday Suppers: Honey Spiced Chicken & Amish Bread

Honey Pot Winnie Pooh WM

Littlest, who turns six later this month, is reading. She carries a pink tote bag stuffed with books, mostly Dr. Seuss, plain white paper, and stubby colored pencils with her wherever she goes. Lately our weekends are overflowing with track meets and lacrosse games which gives Littlest ample time to read her favorite books and write and illustrate her own stories on the sidelines.

At supper time, however, Littlest’s creations move from sideline to headline. With expected regularity, the youngest of our clan commands center stage as she reads her hand written stories aloud at the table. Her brightly illustrated, crookedly stapled books are snippets of her days. Tales of what’s important in her life. She’s written stories about the Flowering of the Cross ceremony at school and her upcoming birthday party at Build-A-Bear. My favorite tells the story of us, mama and daughter, in the kitchen making pancakes which are delightfully fluffy and pink.

It took me a while to appreciate that our five-year-old was leading our family’s story-telling efforts. Go figure! Sarah’s simple stories and drawings have inspired and drawn stories from the rest of us. Storytelling appears to be contagious.

Susie & I posted a recent article from the New York Times on our 52 Sunday Suppers Facebook page. The article, The Family Stories That Bind Us, relates that the more children know about their family’s history the higher their self-esteem and overall emotional health.

Stories matter. Your story matters. Your family narrative is a story that needs to be told.

This week for Sunday supper, I’m serving the Littles’ favorite honey spiced chicken with Susie’s tasty Amish white bread and a tossed spinach salad. The Littles love this sweet and spicy chicken and according to our oldest {and allegedly the pickiest eater}, it tastes ‘just like the spicy chicken at Chick-Fil-A.’ I’m not sure about that, but he’s requested this chicken three times in the last week.

Encouraged by Littlest and the importance of family stories, I’m adding colored pencils and scrap paper to the menu and hoping this simple but delicious meal inspires equally simple, but satisfying stories.

What family stories are you telling around your supper table? Come join the conversation on our Facebook page ~ we love hearing from you!

    Oh Kristin, I absolutely love this. Storytelling is contagious and I am finding the best stories always find the best audience around the table. Somehow our full bellies sling wide open the full hearts that remember, resell, and even reinvent the stories of hope and bravery and beauty our souls so desperately need. I want to eat a meal with your Sarah someday.

      Retell not resell. Autocorrect, ugh.

    The Honey Spiced Chicken and Spinach salad were awesome tonight around our table! Great recipe and if I can do it…it is easy! There was a little story telling too!

Meet Kristin

Welcome! I'm so glad you're here.

I'm on a mission to love my neighbors. I put an ordinary picnic table in my front yard, painted it turquoise and invited neighbors, friends, and even strangers to hang out and do life together at the Turquoise Table®.

I hope you'll join us!
