Sunday, May 7th

I have to tell you that today was pretty awesome.  We had an amazing move of God at church this morning.  I went this morning determined to praise the Lord after the past week and what I know is coming tomorrow.  My co-worker's last day was Friday.  I know working in the coming week is definitely going to be a change of pace.  Yesterday was super busy and I feel like we got much done, even if it wasn't all that I wanted to get done.  I am pretty sore today, but I am looking forward to tomorrow.  

 The Lord works in ways we may not be able to understand.  I have a friend/classmate whose son was shot.  Things are not looking great for him right now, but if you pray, please pray for this family and this young man who was shot.  I cannot even fathom what his parents may be going through right now, but God knows all things and that's where I have to leave it.  Let's be honest, God's shoulders are broad enough to handle every one of our fears, frustrations, failures and needs.  I know I sure can't handle things by myself.

 Tonight I took some time and went through some old framed pictures and through my old report cards and such.  Oh the memories!  I look at pictures of me as a little girl and I can hardly believe that same little girl was me.  I was so different then.  Pictures of my Mom...oh how I miss her!  With Mother's Day fast approaching, I know it's going to be a hard day.  I won't even get to celebrate with my mother-in-law on Mother's Day because they will be out of town.  I will just have to pray for the Lord to help get me through it.  Time to get ready for bed!  Have a great night!

What's Cooking Wednesday, May 7, 2025

I hesitate to even call this a recipe.  I have been making this super easy, but versatile recipe for years.  My ex-grandmother-in-law made hers spicier, but for my young one (at the time I started making this) wasn't a fan of spicy foods.  So I created a cheeseburger variety of the meat pie.  It's simply Grands biscuits, hamburger meat and cheese.  I believe she used the standard biscuit, but I have been using Grands for years.  You can absolutely change this up to use different ingredients, but it's a family favorite so I haven't changed it much.  I may do a different variety soon to bring to you!   You can watch the video here:  YouTube

Picnic in the Park Collab

 S’mores Protein Bites Recipe You can find the original recipe  here  from Six Sisters' Stuff.  The one below is the way I prepared it. Ingredients 1½ cups Simple Truth Old Fashioned Oats ¼ cup crushed graham cracker crumbs ½ cup Simple Truth almond butter ½ cup raw honey ¼ cup vanilla protein powder (I used Orgain Vanilla Protein Powder) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract ½ cup mini marshmallows ¼ cup mini chocolate chips Instructions Combine all ingredients in a bowl or stand mixer until well combined. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on a baking sheet covered with foil or parchment paper. Place in the freezer for about 1 hour, then store in a resealable bag or airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (or in the freezer for up to a month). This original recipe says 15 servings.  I am not sure if I used a smaller scoop but I came out with 25 or so.  There were a couple that were smaller.
