St. Patrick’s Day… what it really is.
I was doing an image search on the internet trying to find some “St. Patrick’s Day” photos in order to make an announcement post about this week’s St. Patrick’s Day dinner theme. Oh my. There is a lot a crazy crud out there associated with the holiday. Like so many things, the world has turned …
Memorizing Philippians
We’re two days into week two. How are you doing? I applaud all of you for sticking with it this far. Keep going; you can do it… at least that is what God’s word says and He is never wrong. :)
Whole Wheat Pita Bread
I was OK with the grocery store pita bread. I discovered it in college. I stocked the little dorm fridge with pita and some turkey and alfalfa sprouts and lots and lots and lots of diet coke. Pita bread wasn’t that expensive and I somehow came to think of it as health food (I know, …

Honey Oat Bread
Monday is bread baking day around here. I made this AMAZING honey oat bread and it was supposed to last us a couple of days at least. We ate half the loaf at dinner time, another big portion as toast with breakfast and will finish up the loaf at lunch. So, (note to self) when …

Vanilla Bean Custard Style Ice Cream
Is there any summertime treat more readily greeted or eagerly anticipated than homemade ice cream? I submit that there is not. I remember when we were kids, how excited we would get when Grandma would announce that she was going to make ice cream. We would literally leap for joy. We would watch her make …
The Lost Art of Communication
I remember when I was about 10 years old going to a political fundraiser with my Mom. It was located at the “Sheriff’s Posse”, a local community building on our county fair grounds that was usually rented out for dances and fundraisers. Anyhow, this particular fundraiser was a craft fair and bake sale. As …
Stuffed Spaghetti Squash Boats
Eating healthily doesn’t have to be a venture into the bland and uninventive. Case in point, this totally yummy, healthy and low fat dish. Mike loves to eat all things artery clogging and turns his nose up at anything low fat. He however, liked this so much that he ate all of it and asked …
