Easy Beef Stew (Slow Cooker)
This dish is the epitome of comfort food with the ease of preparation you won’t believe. I grew up loving this dinner and only recently asked my mom for the recipe. It was super fast and easy to throw together and all 7 20somethings who dined with us, loved it! I’m sure your family will too! […]
The One with the Hypocrite
It’s amazing to me how hypocritical I can be. Maybe even just critical. I astonish myself with the prevalence of my sin nature many times. Honestly, I think it’s my husband’s fault. Not even kidding. You see, before I got married it was easy to hide my shortcomings, my sinful tendencies, my anger, my complete […]
{favorite} Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
I have tried numerous recipes for Oatmeal Raisin Cookies but none of them really got me excited. Granted, I’m not a big fan of raisins in my cookies to begin with, but I just knew I could come up with the perfect recipe eventually. I’m so glad I didn’t give up hope. This combination of […]
The One with the Spring Flowers
Last Saturday, one of those days when the sun was actually shining (unlike these past 4 days), my adorable husband gave me flowers. He put them in the most perfect vase. He set them beside my computer to be sure I found them. He received the biggest smile from me. You may think I’m easily […]

The One the Night of Worship
Sunday evening was an incredible time of worship and prayer hosted by the youth group. We invited all of the adults in the church to attend this unique event with us, and we were blessed by their participation. This Night of Worship was a dream of mine. To spend an hour or more with a […]
Blackberry Citrus Cake
I had a few cups of blackberries left over from the awesome $1.00 sale at Meijer a week ago. I wanted to be uber creative with them, and since I had already made Blackberry Lemon Muffins, I decided cake sounded outstanding. It was the eve of Mother’s Day so rather than gorging ourselves on cake, […]
The One with the Frisbee Party
Friday afternoon we were able to spend a few hours with some of our best college friends. Brittney planned a surprise birthday party for her husband Nick by gathering all of his friends together for a reunion game of Ultimate Frisbee. The girls did the cooking while the boys headed to the local park. Between […]
Slow Cooker Steak and Potatoes
A few months back (I won’t specify how long…) we purchased a few pounds of NY Strip Steaks that we had sliced to order. My lack of knowledge in the strip steak arena led me to have the steaks cut into 3/4 or 1 inch thick portions. Unfortunately, grilling a steak this thin results in […]
