Christian working wife and mother just trying to keep her sanity while finding a balance between work, home, and play
It’s Day One of Seven for me! Seven is a “mutiny against excess”, it’s a book by Jen Hatmaker if you’d like to look it up So here is what I chose for my 7 foods for this week: chicken, eggs, apples, broccoli, bananas, yogurt, and cucumbers. Breakfast this morning was eggs, a banana, and a yogurt. Lunch was a grilled chicken breast, hard boiled eggs, and cucumbers. And I’m having a snack now, an apple and a {Read More}
I’ve decided to do this Bible study, “The 7 Experiment” by Jen Hatmaker… I’m mostly going to concentrate on the chapter about food though. That is my stronghold and God has been dealing with me about this FOREVER. But I’m stubborn. But when my friend, Megan, said she would be doing this challenge for 7 months, it made me curious. And the more I thought about it, the more scared I got. And the more scared I got, the {Read More}
This stuff is amazing…. granted, it doesn’t look very pretty but when you taste it… Oh my word! My picky husband LOVED it and even went back for seconds and took what was left after that to work for breakfast the next morning! Needless to say, this one will be added to the “keepers” file and will be on the menu often at my house! Dorito Chicken and Cheese Casserole Ingredients: 3 cups cooked chicken, diced or shredded 8 {Read More}
My husband came home talking about some “cheeseburger muffins” a friend of his had at work and how his wife had found the recipe on Pinterest. So I did a search and found several recipes for these muffins, but since we are fairly picky eaters, I chose this one because it was rather simple. I have to admit, I thought it was a little bland. So I was wondering if anyone out there has a good Cheeseburger Muffin recipe {Read More}
The Inconvenient Marriage of Charlotte Beck (Kindle Edition) By Kathleen Y’Barbo A little clichéd and predictable, but I really enjoyed this book. Set in the mid 1800’s, Charlotte Beck is out to prove she is a grown woman who doesn’t need a husband. She has her heart set on college and running her father’s business while her father has other plans for her. He wants to see her married and he’s only met one man who can handle {Read More}
I have to share this crazy but delicious recipe y’all…. my mother-in-law made this for us the other night and luckily I tried it before I read the recipe because, for me, pineapple and cheese don’t really go together and it sounds kind of gross. Am I right? But this thing is THE BOMB. Seriously. You must make this immediately, run – don’t walk – to your nearest grocery store and get what you need to make it. You {Read More}
I seriously love vintage cookbooks! They make me so happy I have several that belonged to my mom and my grandma and they are some of my most treasured possessions. The old recipes are simple, which I love…. My cooking style is not exactly gourmet – I don’t use all these “fancy” ingredients you see on the Food Network (although I do love to watch the Food Network!). So when I find vintage cookbooks and handwritten recipes that {Read More}
My husband came home from work the other day raving about these “firecrackers” someone had made and brought to a work potluck. So he asked for the recipe and I whipped up a batch for him These things are pretty spicy! And the longer they sit and “marinate” the hotter they get! They would be great to have with soup or chili when you want to kick it up a notch Firecrackers Ingredients: 3 sleeves of saltine crackers {Read More}
I just finished the knitted baby blanket I showed you recently (I’ll post a pic of the finished piece soon) and decided that I want to make an afghan for my husband… he told me he doesn’t want anything “with holes in it” though lol and I figured knitting a full sized afghan without holes would take forever unless I used gigantic yarn and needles, which I don’t think he would like. So I decided to pick up crochet {Read More}
I found a recipe on the back of a package of shredded cheese and thought it sounded good…. but of course, I’d have to tweak it for my picky family So that’s exactly what I did and the result was DELISH. My husband even went back for seconds, which tells me it was *really* good! It was also very quick since you’re using bacon bits instead of frying bacon to use in it. If you’d rather fry some {Read More}
