With Valentines day just a couple of days away, why not make a special treat that adults will love? Who said cupcakes are just for kids these days? These Mocha Cupcakes just might be the ticket to add a grown-up flare to a classic treat. I promise you that whoever eats these special treats will … Continue reading
So…this is obviously so not a food post. BUT, I ran out of eye makeup remover a few days ago. I was going to pick some up at the store the other day when we were grocery shopping, but didn’t see any. I was thinking about it last night and figured that it probably really … Continue reading
Tonight we are going to the Super Bowl. I was trying to think of something to bring and I thought of the “green sauce” {which is what the co-workers from my old job so affectionately call it.} Pretty much, it is just a very tasty jalapeno dip. You can put it on tacos, put it … Continue reading
The other day I saw on a different blog a recipe for homemade wheat crackers. I used the recipe from http://www.grainmillwagon.com/homemade-wheat-crackers/ as my inspiration, but wanted to make a cracker that was dairy free so my whole family could enjoy them {I have a daughter and a father-in-law that cannot eat dairy}.

This past weekend we had our final extended family Christmas. I was given the responsibility of bringing a dessert to the gathering. I was supposed to be bringing one without dairy, to ensure that my youngest daughter would have a dessert that she would be able to eat too, since she is allergic to milk. … Continue reading
Today I am going to talk a little bit about The Fruits of the Spirit and how those things are related to being a man or woman of God. What does this mean though? Is it when we are doing everything right? Like going to church every week or doing what people expect of us, … Continue reading
Happy New Year! Today, I made Hoppin’ John! This a traditional New Year’s meal, incorporating black eyed peas, or pigeon peas. I had always heard that eating black eyed peas on New Year’s Day was traditional, but never knew why. So, I went to Wikipedia and learned what it had to say: “Hoppin’ John is … Continue reading
