Encouraging moms they can do ALL THINGS through Christ who strengthens them!
I mentioned last week that my little girl loves strawberries! (What’s not to love?) As a result we almost always have some in the refrigerator. One of my favorite things to do with them is make strawberry spinach salad. Yum. It’s light and a little sweet- perfect for a summer dinner or even a quick lunch. I love the simplicity […]

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day but I often find myself in a breakfast rut. Am I alone? I don’t think so. Have you done the breakfast pace? You know the one where you pace back and forth between the fridge, freezer, and pantry for 20 minutes trying to decide what to have for breakfast. I do that, usually with the […]

During the summer I love to make things for dinner that don’t heat up my house. I use the microwave, the grill and the crock pot to my full advantage! It’s already 90 something degrees outside- who wants to stand over a burner or crank an oven up to 350°? Not me! Especially since our air isn’t really all that […]

This week I began been participating in an Online Bible Study by Karen Ehman, titled “A Life that Says Welcome”. So far this Bible Study has been great! It really focuses on relieving the stresses and pressures that go along with entertaining and focusing on our call to show hospitality to others. I have never thought about how different hospitality […]

Sometimes I get in the mood for nachos, you know the kind that are covered in cheese and delicious toppings. Yes, I know- they are not exactly good for you, but you have to cut loose and get a little crazy every now and then 🙂 Several years ago my husband and I stumbled across something brilliant- Manwich Nachos!

Sloppy Joes are some sort of American classic, right? I dunno but I ‘m pretty sure they are, everyone loves them. Typically they are made with sweetened sauces or a canned sauce. I enjoy the canned “Manwich” brand myself, and so does my husband but we both agree there’s not a lot of nutrition there for our daughter. So last night we embarked on […]

There’s something about a baked potato that is just comforting to me. When I was pregnant with our daughter I had horrible morning(noon, midday, and night) sickness. During this time my love for potatoes grew even more, no matter how bad I felt, I could always have a baked potato. I practically lived off of them, and yet I never got […]

Man do I love Fridays! I look forward to them because it means I get the next two days at home with my family! I often think what our world would be like if we looked forward to Jesus as much as we look forward to Friday. Wouldn’t that be awesome! If you knew He was coming back tomorrow what […]

It’s Think Outside of the Box Pizza day and if you like crispy pizza this is just the pizza for you! I love the extra crispy pizza! There is a pizza delivery place not far down the road that has pizza crust that is extra thin and crisp, almost like a cracker but good. In college I would literally have […]

It’s Friday, Woohoo!! It’s late Friday (sorry I didn’t get this up for you earlier) but it is still Friday, which means it’s Time for another Think Outside of the Box Pizza idea! Today’s recipe was inspired by something my sister brought to a family gathering. She just whipped them up with no recipe at all (she’s talented like that 🙂 […]

I know what you’re thinking- kale? Really- on a pizza? Yes. Absolutely 100% YES! Trust me – you’re going to love it! The combination of flavors from the sweet onion and sweet potato balance perfectly with the kale, covered in cheese and nestled on a crispy crust…yum! Remember- Think Outside of the Box! My husband is not a greens fan, […]

I LOVE Mexican food- LOVE IT! I think I could seriously eat it every day. I have several favorite local restauraunts and at each one I have 1 or 2 favorites that I usually order from. One of those favorites at every restaurant is the taco salad. Now on a regular basis I would say that salad is not on my list of […]

What is it about chicken nuggets that makes them so irresistible to kids? (and Moms too!) I can’t even tell you how many kids I know that practically live off of chicken nuggets. Ask most any child what their favorite meal is and hands down it’s chicken nuggets, followed closely by pizza (we’ll address that later 🙂 ) So far, I […]
