SUMMARY: Seasonal changes can trigger sadness and anxiety, with reduced sunlight and cooler weather leading to more indoor time. Mental health conversations have gained traction but still come with feelings of shame. It’s essential to recognize you’re not alone in facing mental health challenges. To navigate these feelings, it’s beneficial to speak with trusted friends, seek therapy, enjoy daily outdoor time, journal, and practice kindness towards others. Mississippi offers numerous mental health resources like Pine Grove, Right Track Medical Group, and Better Help, providing a range of support for individuals seeking assistance.

Comfort Food for the Thanksgiving Meal Doesn’t Have to be Stuffy
SUMMARY: For Thanksgiving, side dishes need to offer both healthful options and comforting favorites. While cornbread dressing is a staple in many households, it is not required for mine, often being replaced by mashed potatoes. I make a make-ahead mashed potato dish that can be stored for up to a week, making it perfect for large gatherings. Additionally, a slow-cooker macaroni and cheese recipe, which can also be prepared in advance, has become a crowd favorite. Both dishes save time and provide delicious comfort for holiday meals. May your Thanksgiving be full of blessings, whether it’s with dressing, potatoes, or mac-n-cheese.
