In browsing my Betty Crocker cookbook for ideas on what to serve to the teens at youth group, I stumbled about the Salted Nut Bars recipe. They sounded delicious and intriguing, not to mention simple to make. I was hooked. I altered a few of the ingredients to fit my ingredients and my tastes. I used […]
The One to the Cross
[originally posted on wechasetheson.blogspot.com] Without Easter our faith would mean nothing. What hope do we have with the resurrection of Jesus Christ? This week my heart has been dwelling on the Cross. Many years the Easter holiday seems to come and go as just another excuse to eat Reese’s eggs and Jolly Rancher jellybeans and […]
On Leading to the Cross
Without Easter our faith would mean nothing. What hope do we have with the resurrection of Jesus Christ? This week my heart has been dwelling on the Cross. Many years the Easter holiday seems to come and go as just another excuse to eat Reese’s eggs and Jolly Rancher jellybeans and wear pretty dresses. Those […]
Chicken Tortilla Lime Soup
Inspired by a recipe in Rachael Ray’s 365: No Repeats cookbook, I spent half an hour putting this soup together yesterday afternoon to be enjoyed by our young adult small group in the evening. Overflowing with fresh vegetables and lean protein, this soup is uber healthy for you and your family. The heat factor is totally […]

She seems delighted that I’ve joined the ranks of forgetfulness and sends her condolences that I’m becoming more like her everyday. :) It made me smile and reminded me of yet another “moment” of mine. On Friday morning, I was busy baking a batch of pizzelles to fill my first […]
Apple Cinnamon Bars

The One with the Missing Salsa
I thought I was going crazy. It was Tuesday night, and Kevin had left for his final class of Free Methodist History and Polity. (woot.) I chopped up some veggies, shredded some cheese, heated up some black beans, and created a lovely dinner plate for myself. Gathering my quesadilla and tortilla chips, I realized I […]
Peanut Butter Granola Bars
In preparing for a long drive and a week-long camping trip, I wanted to make hearty, nutritious granola bars. This recipe is quick to toss together with ingredients you’ll probably have in your cupboard. I chose to use natural peanut butter to continue with the “whole, hearty” theme, but using another form of creamy peanut […]
The One with the Food Features
You may remember when I officially opened my Adorkable Bakery on Etsy? It’s only been a few weeks, but so far I haven’t had any sales. But what I have had is lots a wonderful support, exposure and features of my delicious cookies and candies. I know that first sale is coming! :) While we were […]
