Civil War historians have long noted that support for Confederacy in the antebellum South tended to align with those who lived in towns, along railroads, and on land suited for large-scale farming tended to side with the Confederacy, while those who lived a more isolated existence and made their livings by subsitence farming and bartering usually remained Unionist.

She's just along for a fun truck ride, but it spirals into chaos. Can she excavate her bravery and creativity from the snowdrifts to survive the mountain snowstorm? Anna grew up avoiding conflict with her mama and fell into the same passive habit with her loving, easy-going husband instead of speaking up about her own dreams. Now, she worries as David's behavior becomes unpredictable, and lack of communication has piled up between them like a snowdrift. He invites Anna to join him on the road in his 18-wheeler, and she jumps at the chance to reconnect and have fun again.

When Lisa Bryan began meal prepping, she quickly grew bored with leftovers and wasted food, prompting her to seek balance in her life. She made dietary changes, incorporating more vegetables and simple proteins, while eliminating gluten due to celiac disease, processed foods, and refined sugar. To revitalize her meal prep, she focused on individual ingredients. A viral YouTube video revealed many others shared her desire for a fresh meal planning approach. By prepping a few key ingredients weekly—like flaked salmon, zucchini noodles, and roasted veggies—she enjoyed a variety of meals without fatigue. Her debut cookbook features 100 simple, big-batch recipes that can be frozen or repurposed, ensuring meals don’t feel like leftovers. For instance, a light coconut chickpea curry can be transformed into a crispy tostada for lunch or a chickpea shakshuka for breakfast. All recipes are gluten-free, low in refined sugar, and many are naturally anti-inflammatory, with minimal optional dairy. Lisa's approachable method encourages home cooks to embrace healthy meal preparation with ease, inspiring them to downshift their cooking routines without sacrificing flavor or variety.
