Do you have your coffee cup? I do!

Welcome to the very first Coffee Break of 2019! For those of you who are joining us for the first time, we are so glad you are here!

The heart of Southern Discourse is to be a place where you feel at home, a place where you are encouraged and inspired, where the conversations are honest and make a real difference. And there is no better way to have those conversations than over a cup of good coffee.

That’s why I created Monday Coffee Break. So that you and I could sit down with our cups of coffee in our homes or at our desks, take some time out and start our week off right together.

During our Monday Coffee Breaks, you will find encouragement to draw closer to Christ, inspiration to create a welcoming home and table and as always good, good food to enjoy and share with family and friends.

So grab your cup of coffee, settle in and let’s spend our Monday Coffee Break together.

Monday Coffee Break: Recipe — **Southern Sweet Potato Soup** is a mildly sweet & savory bowl of warm and delicious comfort food. Because this recipe starts with canned sweet potatoes, it doesn’t take long to put together a homemade meal your family will love. It’s a great alternative to regular potato soup! And even though it’s shown here topped with a little sauteed greens, you might like to top it with bacon, sour cream and cheese! **Get the recipe…**

That’s it for this week’s Monday Coffee Break. Thanks for stopping by and having a cup with me as we slowed down for just a minute and started our week off right!
