: Life is hard. God is good. We need each other.
Are you like me in that you frequently come across articles that strike a chord with you for one reason or another, but you aren’t quite sure what to do with them? Awhile back, I started a Pinterest board to collect all of these pieces that sparked something in me. It’s been awhile since I shared some of my stash with you, and my board is kind of overflowing. Here’s to you finding something that strikes a chord with you!
Here’s what I’ve been reading:
Super simple. Yummy. Feeds a crowd.
You are going to want to hold on to this one.
We hosted our second and final graduation party last weekend. (One week after we geniusly decided to hold a yard sale…not the best decision!)
My eldest son had requested jambalaya for his grad party. It was delish, but when my currently graduating son requested hot dogs and chips for his party, I was not disappointed at the ease of this menu.
I’m not the biggest Disney fan in the world. My husband, however, has a good shot at that title.
My appreciation and love of Disney has grown over the years. And that is in large part to how completely stuffed the Disney parks are with educational and learning opportunities. You see, I’m a consummate lesson-finder.
Movies, TV shows, books…lessons to be found.
Walks in the woods, games, random inanimate objects…I could teach a class.
When I began visiting Disney parks with my husband, I was wowed by the impeccable attention to detail. I have long said that when you visit Walt Disney World or Disneyland, you’re being invited to be a part of the stories. And I was also pretty amazed (and surprised) by the amount of learning that can be drawn from the parks.
Dates are a super nutritious natural sweetener full of caramelly good flavor. Pureeing them into this delicious date paste makes them easy to use in lots of ways.
Dates used to scare me. I hate to say it, but I always thought they looked like cockroaches. Ick- not interested.
But then I read how many nutrients there are in dates. Interested.
Then I heard that when pureed, dates become a caramel-like elixir. Very interested.
So of course I had to give them a try. I was sold immediately. And although I still think they look like cockroaches (they do!) I’m a big fan and frequently have a jar of date paste in my fridge.
Let me tell you how I make it and how I use it. I know you’re gonna want to try it too.
There’s not one single answer to what it looks like to live a life of faith. These 17 people each lived out an extraordinary story in a uniquely different way, and a simple faith was at the heart of each one.
I received a complimentary book and was compensated for my time in writing this review. As always, all opinions are my own.
What makes someone a hero of the faith? Just the phrase is intimidating, if you ask me. But as with most things in life, a change of perspective can make all the difference. I’ve been reading about the lives of 17 individuals who did some amazing things and instead of feeling intimidated, I’m inspired.
The book is Eternity through the Rearview Mirror: How Simple Faith Changes Everything—Seventeen Extraordinary Lives, and I’m anxious to tell you about it.
This easy quiche recipe is perfect for a light meal, serving overnight guests, and is an ideal freezer meal. Whether you pop it right in the oven or make it ahead, this is one recipe you will come back to again and again.
Eggs are cheap. But somehow mixing them with other goodies and baking them in a pie crust makes them taste fancy.
I am a big fan of recipes that you can customize, and quiche fits that bill perfectly. My favorite is ham and green onion with lots of cheese. But it’s delish with veggies like spinach, too. Or even kind of plain with just a little onion and cheese. Sky’s the limit!
