hi! I’m Cara, the blogger behind The Southern edit.
I finally started this blog in 2024 after wanting to for so long! Here, I share healthy modern versions of southern recipes as well as projects from our home in East Tennessee. I’d love for you to follow along with me!

Behind TSE
After the pandemic, my husband and I sold our home and took the plunge into full time RV living. We brought along our two cats and silver lab and traveled to some really awesome towns.
Three years into RV life, we moved to East TN and found a home we loved. You can follow along and see how we are transforming our builder grade house into a custom mountain inspired home.
I also love sharing southern inspired recipes; some from my family and some born from my over active mind at 3am! As much as I love the south and its traditions, southerners are known for heavy meals and typically unhealthy ones. My goal here is to share modern recipes inspired by the south so we can eat comfort food and feel good about doing so!
I’m so glad you stopped by and hope you can find a little inspiration while you’re here!
