While my younger daughter could win an Olympic Medal 🏅 for napping I could not. I could however win Gold for worrying. Worrying was a gift I learned at an early age. I’d worry about my grades, abilities, parents, family but not about the sun coming up each morning. Somehow it was necessary for me…
Lent & Sabbath Continue
I once heard the most biblical thing you could do is nap on the Sabbath. Come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest ( Matthew 11:28). Others dive into reading and scriptures in quiet time. For us it’s church, family time, naps, and food on our Sabbath….
Sunday Night Supper
Sunday night is the time to enjoy dinner and catch our breath before the work/school week. I originally planned shrimp scampi for dinner but changed directions when I realized I was missing a few ingredients and clearly did not want to run to the store. This turned out to be the best dinner in-spite of…
Range of Emotions
From Valentine’s Party to the somber news of another tragedy to the Ash Wednesday service tonight; today has been a range of emotions. Growing up a Methodist we observed lent in preparation for Easter each year. We gave up things like coke or chocolate for 40 days and really felt like we were suffering. Also…
Not So Fat Tuesday
Pink Lemonade Pancakes 🥞 The day before Ash Wednesday is typically glutenous indulgence before the 40 days of lent. Today’s version is Keto Friendly, Allergy Friendly, and quite tasty. Pancake Ingredients • 1/4 cup ghee melted ( sub butter) • 1/2 cup plain yogurt ( I used goat) • 1 Tablespoon powdered Stevia • 1/4…
Keto Egg & Olive Salad
Yes, Egg & Olive is Keto Friendly and there is no real variation in recipe but rather than bread or crackers it is served in a lettuce cup. I like the crunch and stability of iceberg lettuce for this recipe instead of my usual green leaf lettuce. I also think the olive salad makes this…
Keto Beef Stroganoff Soup
We love beef stroganoff with wide egg noodles but noodles are not Keto Friendly and grains and gluten are an issue in our home. I adapted my recipe into a soup! This was super fast and easy! With our food allergies it works well and I noted what ingredients I used. You can easily adapt…

Happy New Year and Black Eyed Peas
Happy New Year! I’ve always lived in the South and eaten black eyed peas on the first day of each new year! This year was no exception. 🎉🏉😋 So here are two Black Eyed Pea options from one cooking. We had one for lunch and one for dinner while cheering on the SEC in bowl…
Waiting with Anticipation
The First day of Advent is a journey of waiting expectantly for Jesus’ birth and reflecting over the past year with hopes for the future. In hopes of truly enjoying the advent season I seek to have all of the decorating, shopping, busyness done by December first or at least by December third. I’ve carefully…

L❤️VE is the answer
When God has a message He sends it in love. With gentle reminders. Today we started our morning on the couch with coffee watching Andy Stanley in the fourth installment of What Happy Couples Know on Northpoint Live. We love watching Northpoint live every Sunday before worshipping locally. The service starts of with praise and worship…
