Your Love Story…

Isn’t it easy to look around and think that others have it made?  They have “such an interesting story”.  There are love stories at every turn and they are beautiful.  Each story is so unique.  In fact, each story uniquely belongs to those who are living it.  Yours can’t even…

Moist, Flavorful Meatballs

Yesterday, we had the privileged of bringing three meals to people we know. My daughter and I cooked, decorated and assembled three full meals and then set off to deliver them. Our main dish was meatball sandwiches. Because I have had, (and made) so many dry, bland meatballs, I set…

Taking after Mom…and Applesauce Making

One of the best compliments I can receive is that I take after my mom. My daughter has made this statement several times lately and it makes me smile. She says, with a grin on her face, you are becoming “just like Grandma” in this area or that. I say…

To Theme or Not to Theme…

As I have mentioned, we had a big day in our home this past weekend. We celebrated our little one’s first birthday! If you have children or know anyone who does, which is all of you, you know how much planning typically goes into this monumental day! Invitations are chosen,…

Mini Corn Dogs

Our little one turned one last week, so on Sunday we had all of our family over for his birthday party. It was such a blessing. We served “children’s food” to everyone. We had mini burgers, mini hot dogs and mini corn dogs along with a whole array of other…

Dying to Self

This passage quoted here in a friend’s blog is one of my favorites! I had lost track of it and am thrilled to have found it again. What a great reminder of what it looks like to die to ourselves and live to Christ. I am again encouraged to remember…

I Choose Gratefulness…

Spaghetti Squash, Baked with Thyme

One of the items I “pre-prepped” on Tuesday was my spaghetti squash. Because takes from 45-60 minutes to bake, it often sits in my fridge. I try to ignore it, until finally, I decide to cook it, but sometimes, it is too late. 🙁 This time, it went into the…

Is that Last Night’s Dinner?

Last night was a night of re-purposing leftovers. We had about 2 portions of stew remaining, and it was a little light on the veggies after dinner last night. So, Tuesday’s stew became Wednesday’s beef and noodles with a side of Garlic Parmesan Broccoli and Roasted Beets. Score…It tasted pretty…

Breakfast for a Crowd…

That is what this casserole is great for! Today I participate in a ladies meeting called Mom’s Inc. at my church. It is for moms who have children who are preschool aged. Each discussion table takes an opportunity to bring breakfast for the other ladies and tomorrow is our table’s…
