A New Day
When I was visiting my mom recently, I came across a clipping she had of this quote. It challenged me to rethink how I spend my time, so I thought I’d share it with you. It’s a great reminder that each new day is a special gift God gives us. We can choose to use it…

Creamy Dill Potato Salad
If you like dill pickles and dill seasoning, you’ll want to try this potato salad! I’ve had this recipe for awhile and there are three things I really like about it: 1) it has red potatoes in it, which I prefer over regular potatoes, 2) you don’t need to peel the potatoes (I find potato peeling…

Joy and Thankfulness
I love what this verse says. And I love the way it looks, too! (This is actually a print that you can buy on Etsy, if you’re interested). It’s a great reminder that during difficult times as well as good times…be joyful, be thankful, and continue to pray!

7-UP Pound Cake with Lemon-Lime Glaze

Orange Julius
It is hot outside today…the type of day you think about having an Orange Julius. I had found a recipe at Mel’s Kitchen Cafe that I wanted to try, and I thought it was really good! I added a little more sugar to mine, but if you don’t want a sweeter Julius, then stick with the…

A Mother’s Influence
In honor of all the special moms out there, I thought I’d share some quotes about the huge impact mothers make on our lives… I cannot forget my mother. She is my bridge. When I needed to get across, she steadied herself long enough for me to run across safely. —Renita Weems

Black Bean, Sweet Corn and Feta Tacos from Mary McCartney’s FOOD
One of the reasons I was interested in reviewing FOOD: Vegetarian Home Cooking is because I’ve gradually been eating less meat and more veggies, but it can be challenging to make interesting veggie meals. I’ve never actually been a big meat-eater, but I do crave a juicy burger now and then! I may crave one less…
