Berry Walnut Granola
I am a big fan of granola, and I prefer homemade—I think it tastes so much better! I’ve posted several recipes for granola bars, like Crunchy Honey Almond Granola Bars, Dark Chocolate Granola Bars, and chewier Granola Bars. I’ve also made an unsweetened Cranberry Raisin Nut Toasted Oat Cereal. So I thought it was about time I posted a granola…

Cocoa Banana Smoothie
I think this just may be the hottest week of summer. And that calls for a smoothie—even better, a chocolate smoothie! There’s a soy and non-soy version for this recipe, so you can take your pick. The smoothie I made pictured here is the soy version. I’ve never made a smoothie with tofu before, and it…

Taken Care Of
Here’s a promise God has given to each one of us—whatever is happening in our lives, He’s there with us and He’s taking care of us! It may be hard to see or understand how He is working sometimes, but even then, know that He is taking care of you and working in the situation for your ultimate…

A Peaceful Heart
Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, it empties today of its strength. CORRIE TEN BOOM (1892-1983, Author of The Hiding Place) “Don’t worry” is easy to say, but so hard to do…yet we really don’t need to worry, since God has everything under control and continues to take care of us. Praying you…

Blackberry Banana Bread
It was just a matter of time before I made this Blackberry Banana Bread, since I love trying different banana bread recipes and blackberry season is in full swing! This recipe makes a nice, full loaf that is dense and moist and full of banana and blackberry flavor. It also has a rich buttery taste and the buttermilk gives…

Blackberry Scones
I made make another blackberry recipe with those blackberries I picked. I thought blackberry scones would be nice to try, and I actually tried a recipe out last week which did not turn out well at all! But I wasn’t quite ready to give up on blackberry scones, so this was my second attempt. And these…

Blackberry Buttermilk Cake
I mentioned in my last post that I had been picking some blackberries this past week. And this is one of the recipes I made with them–Blackberry Buttermilk Cake. It’s a recipe I’ve had for awhile, clipped from a newspaper and kept in one of my recipe binders. I thought I’d make it again to share on…

Blackberry Picking
We’ve had lots of rain this spring and summer and everything is so green and lush and pretty. And the blackberries are growing well this year, which I’m really excited about! I love blackberries—eating them just the way they are, using them in smoothies, or baking with them. I took this picture with my iPhone—this is…

Shoepeg Corn Salad with Honey Dressing
I was looking through some old recipes I’d clipped from magazines awhile ago and came across one for Shoepeg Salad. It sounded like a great side dish for summer. I found some other variations on this salad at different recipe sites and ended up making my own version. This is a sweet, crisp salad; some sites describe it as a “relish.” It’s great…

Raspberry Banana Coconut Milk Smoothie
I think this is the creamiest smoothie I’ve ever had! This is the first smoothie I’ve made with coconut milk, and I love how super creamy and smooth it turned out! I modified a recipe from Del’s Cooking Twist by adding some banana and sweetening it with honey. Yum! I made this smoothie on a very warm day and…

Veggie Chip Salad with Avocado
Potato chips remind me of summertime—I guess it’s because they always seem to be at picnics and cookouts! I’m not a heavy potato chip eater, and maybe because of that, the last bag of chips I bought at the grocery store about a month ago seemed super salty and greasy to me. Then I heard about Tyrrell’s…

Scrambled Egg Biscuit Bowls
If you’re looking for a hearty breakfast idea, here’s a recipe I made with the Perfect Bacon Bowl. I received two complimentary bowls to try out and I read about them beforehand in this Good Housekeeping review.
