Yesterday while out for a morning run on a local trail, I noticed the new life beginning to sprout up from the ground and on the trees. The oak trees all have small buds on the tips of their branches, the rhododendrons are forming their buds which will open to colorful flowers in a couple… Continue reading Sleep, Creep, or Leap Seasons

Peanut Butter & Jelly Joy
This week I spent a lot of time in my kitchen (aka - my happy place), testing some new recipes for an upcoming project to be released in the next 2-3 weeks. I was fine-tuning the seasoning in a batch of 13-bean chili, testing a new brownie recipe (epic fail), brewing a batch of hibiscus… Continue reading Peanut Butter & Jelly Joy
Fasting & Praying
This week we entered the season of Lent. Growing up, it meant going to Church to get ashes on Ash Wednesday and meatless Fridays leading up to Easter Sunday. It also meant we were expected to give something up during this time. This usually meant chocolate, candy, snacks, television, etc. Although there was the one… Continue reading Fasting & Praying
Walking through the Door
Recently I have been struggling with how God wants me to bring my love of cooking and my faith together.

Pray
This week has left me scared. There is no other way to describe how I am feeling. I am scared for our country; I am scared for our churches; I am scared for my family; I am scared for my friends; I am just scared. Over the past couple of months, I have tried to… Continue reading Pray
Weary
This week has been yet another in which we find ourselves confronted with the fact that although we may appear and feel as if we are moving forward, we haven’t taken a step. My heart grieves, my soul cries out, and I feel lost. This is not about left or right; it is about trying… Continue reading Weary
