Car Stolen on New Years Day

01/08/2013

Our youngest daughter was on her way home New Year’s Day from Missouri. Her and her two friends stopped to take a photo at the St. Louis arch. Ellie decided she didn't want to get out for the photo because she had shorts on and it was freezing outside. At the last-minute she hopped out of the car and seconds later someone stole the car just 10 ft. from where they[...]

The Good Wife Recipe

01/01/2013

Being a good wife is a lot like being a good cook. Any cook using the same recipe and instructions can produce a dish that tastes entirely different from another. Why is this? Well, attention to detail distinguishes a great cook from an average one. Take fried apples for example… All that you need are apples, sugar, butter and cinnamon. But, not every c[...]

Yorkshire Pudding

Yorkshire pudding is a cross between a popover and a soufflé bathed in rib roast drippings. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! Ingredients: ~ rib roast drippings ~1 large onion, diced and sautéed in 4-5 tablespoons drippings from rib roast (add 1 tablespoon of beef bouillon paste to sautéed onion mixture) 3 large eggs 1 ½ cup milk 1 ½ c[...]

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior which is Christ the Lord.

Making an Evergreen Christmas Wreath

12/13/2012

Making an evergreen Christmas wreath is a tradition that goes back hundreds of years. It's festive, smells heavenly, it's free and simple to make. When I was a little girl I remember going through the woods with my mom looking for running cedar to make our wreath with. We would gather all we could in bags and bring them back home for assembling. We wrapped the ru[...]

Christmas Luminaries–To Light the Path

12/11/2012

Luminaries are a guide to the destination. This past weekend we had a Christmas party and lit our driveway and path to our house with luminaries. Isaiah prophesied that Jesus would be our light 778 years before He was even born! Isaiah 42:6 He also told us that His Name would be called, “…Wonderful, Counselor, Almighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince o[...]

The Rich Home

12/05/2012

The Queen of Sheba was wealthy and beautiful. She had everything a queen could want - gold, silver, ivory, precious jewels and servants taking care of all her needs. Well, almost everything. She'd heard about the famous King Solomon (I Kings 10:1) and his miraculous God. Even though her people had many gods to worship, none intrigued her like the Lord God of[...]

Making Gingerbread Houses

11/30/2012

Years ago our family started the tradition of making gingerbread houses the day after Thanksgiving. We spend as much time laughing and talking as we do making the houses, it's so much fun. We made our own gingerbread one year, it was way to much work and we've also bought gingerbread kits--that was too much money. So, most years we use graham crackers, frosting and v[...]

Entertaining Angels Unaware

11/27/2012

I was sixteen years old, driving down the road and saw an old homeless lady sitting on a bench. The blistering heat kept the rest of the world inside air-conditioned buildings that day-but not her. As I drove past her, I felt this tug at my heart—I thought to myself, she could use an ice cream cone and company. I asked her what her favorite flavor was. She said, “Van[...]

Brining A Turkey

11/21/2012

Brining your turkey is mandatory if you want it to be succulent and delicious! Soaking it in a salt and sugar mixture makes it moist. Don't forget to rinse the brine off and soak the turkey in fresh water for 4 hours before it is cooked. This prevents it from tasting too salty. I have forgotten to do this step and it was still good but salty. This is an incredibl[...]

Thanksgiving Day- Let’s Celebrate like the Pilgrims

11/20/2012

Our first semblance of Thanksgiving was in 1621 after the colonist first harvest at Plymouth. The Wampanoag Indians were invited to join the celebration with food as the colonist lifted their hands toward heaven and thanked God for His protection and provisions in their new country. The pilgrims invited people outside of their own tribe and were not ashamed to make [...]
