Journey Well
End your journey well. Don’t waste your life, and don’t be satisfied with anything less than God’s plan. —Billy Graham (1918–2018) On Wednesday, February 21, I saw the headlines in the news that you probably saw too—most read something like “Evangelist Billy Graham, 99, Dies.” I would have liked to have

Chocolate Sour Milk Cake
Sour milk cake may not sound that appetizing, but trust me, it’s a great little snack cake made with something you would otherwise toss, so it’s perfect for those of us who like to be thrifty! I had heard of sour milk cake but never tried making it because it’s rare that milk goes sour…

Pineapple Lassi
I learned about a new beverage this week: the Lassi. Actually, it’s just new to me, because it’s a traditional beverage from India and I’m sure it’s been around a long time! A Lassi is

Easy Knitted Scarf
I love knitted scarves in the winter—there’s something comforting about having a bundle of cozy softness around you to help keep you warm! We had a little break in our chilly winter weather for about a week, but now it’s cold again, and my knitted scarves will once again come in handy! They are so…

Bacon-Sausage Pancake Casserole and Waffle Fruit Kabobs
Did you know that February is National Hot Breakfast Month? When I think of a good breakfast, I think of pancakes and waffles and maybe some eggs, bacon, or sausage on the side. If you’re like me, you probably don’t have much time on weekday mornings to make and enjoy a hearty breakfast like this. That’s why…

Cheesy Corn Casserole
Not long ago, I posted a yummy “comfort food”-type side dish called Easy Corn Casserole. It’s really good and very easy to make. Being a cheese-lover, I thought I’d try making another version with some sharp cheddar cheese and a little chopped green onion added in–and I loved the result! So I just had to…

My Word for 2018
Instead of making New Year’s Resolutions this year, I’m picking a word that will be “my one word” to focus on during the year. There’s actually a book called My One Word and a website, too–MyOneWord.org. This is not a new book–it was first published in 2012. But it’s new to me. I’ve not read the…

If you’re a fan of tomato soup, here’s a great variation to try—Tomato Carrot Soup with Basil. It makes a great soup for any time of the year, especially for spring and summer when fresh tomatoes are available in abundance. So, make it in spring and summer with fresh tomatoes. And during the winter you…

Hoppin’ John
I learned a few years ago that Hoppin’ John is a New Year’s Day tradition, probably more popular in areas of the South. It’s said to symbolize good health and prosperity in the coming year. The black-eyed peas are supposed to represent coins, which tie in with prosperity. And since black-eyed peas are actually beans, they’re…

Gingerbread Scones
Christmas would not be Christmas without any gingerbread treats. And these gingerbread scones, topped with coarse sugar that adds a nice sparkly touch, are definitely a treat—especially for breakfast or brunch!. They’re not really sweet enough to be considered a dessert scone, but they have a rich gingerbread flavor and are great in the morning,…

Cranberry Pecan Muffins
I love baking with fresh cranberries and I just had to make something with them! Muffins seemed like a good idea, and in addition to using fresh cranberries, I added some orange extract to give these muffins a subtle orange flavor. You could also add orange zest if you wanted to.
