To VLOG or not to VLOG?

Give me a topic and I'll VLOG about it! What's VLOG? A blog post, but in VIDEO form ! :)

Newness

Hello!! I was told I "never" post anymore. Mainly bc I didn't know anyone read this!

So...didn't make it to the wedding ! I was really bummed! However, I DID get to cook for my Pastor! It went really well ! I cant wait to have her over again! I made my mamas recipe of "zesty chicken and rice" and brownies! I recently was given a cake ball machine and love it! I used it last night and had wonderful cake balls to take to the ladies luncheon today ! Next time I'll get pics!

Work is going crazy , I'm training the management ! Most are quick learners and hard workers! Its interesting to be in a position to train the superiors , with training having an aspect of telling the trainee they are wrong and messing up.
I've never been one to speak up to authorities, It was drilled into me as a chid to just submit ... Even if I didn't wanna or I was in the right! ( oh, I've been punished for stuff I didn't do ... And not punished for stuff I should have been!)
It's interesting as I'm being trained in the Spiritual things, the Father put me in a earthly circumstance where I HAVE to speak out to these people and say "hey, no! That's not right! " Or " why did you do this that way?" " I showed you how to do this last week..."

I'm learning boldness and learning how to say things firmly yet nicely. Apparently , my tone has been a issue in the past. I've also learned so much about the Lords grace when I have to remind them that I answered their question the previous day!

How much more Grace does He give each one of us daily? We forget the answers are already in the 66 book love letter He wrote us! (Thanks, Lecrae for that line!)

I'm also learning that they need encouragement . Transition is hard… on everyone. Imagine being thrown into being In charge of a business ... And knowing nothing about it! Also reminding me to encourage my Pastors !

I'm trying to find balance right now in my budget, and time! Rest vs cleaning / rest vs social / etc! Thankful He provides direction and brings forth all truth!

Any way... Sorry for rambling, but hey! You have a post!

Cooking 101

so....ask and you SHALL receive...I've been given the opportunities to learn 2 new styles of cooking in the near future!

A) my friend Christa is getting married! She's having a Kosher Jewish Potluck Reception...so,I've gotta research  a Kosher dish I can make!...and what all that entails...I'm clueless beyond a very few basics!

B) my pastor ,whom I've been wanting to invite over for dinner since I moved into my new place, has recently gone to a Gluten-free lifestyle...so another chance to expand my horizons!

I'm excited to learn what these two very different culinary styles have to offer!

any ideas/tips/etc are welcome! any one do Gluten free or Kosher???!

The best leaders know how to follow...

Amish Friendship Bread

Amish Friendship Bread

Do not use any type of metal spoon or bowl for mixing.  Do not refrigerate.  If air gets into the bag, let it out.  It is normal if the batter raises and bubbles and ferments. 

            Day 1               Do Nothing

            Day 2               Mush the bag

            Day 3               Mush the bag

            Day 4               Mush the bag

            Day 5               Mush the bag

            Day 6               Add to the bag: 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup milk, mush the bag

            Day 7               Mush the bag

            Day 8               Mush the bag

            Day 9               Mush the bag

            Mix and divide the bag (day 10 is also day 1)

Pour the entire contents of the bag into a non-metal bowl, add 1 ½ cup milk, 1 ½ cup flour, 1 ½ cup sugar.  Mix together, then measure out separate batter of 1 cup each into 4 separate gallon baggies.  Keep one starter for yourself and give 3 to your friends along with a copy of the recipe.

Pre-heat oven to 325˚.  To the remaining batter in a bowl, add:

3 eggs

1 cup oil

2 tsp. cinnamon

1 large box of instant pudding mix

1 ½ tsp baking powder

½ tsp soda

1 cup sugar

2 cups flour

½ cup milk

½ tsp salt

Grease 2 loaf pans.  In a separate bowl mix ½ cup brown sugar and 1 ½ tsp cinnamon.  Dust the loaf pans with about half the mixture.  Pour the batter into greased and dusted pans, sprinkle remaining sugar over the batter.  Bake for 1 hour.  Cool until bread loosens from the side of the pan (about 10 min).  Turn out onto serving plate.  Serve warm or cold.

The date ine above can e used to help keep track of the day you are on.  If you keep a starter you will be baking every 10 days.

Note to self ... Get new addy, do change of addy with works and post office, and stop netflix till moved in...

gotta try recipie!

• 4 cups chicken broth, divided
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
• 2 cups thinly sliced zucchini (3 medium)
• 2 medium ripe avocados
• 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• prepared pesto (optional)

In a large saucepan, heat 2 cups of the broth, the onion, garlic, and nutmeg. When it is boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally. Add the remaining 2 cups broth and the zucchini and bring to a boil. Cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for another 10 minutes, until the zucchini is limp but still bright green. Remove the lid and allow the soup to cool slightly. In a blender, puree the soup mixture with the avocado flesh in batches. Return the blended soup to the pan and warm on low, adding salt to taste. Stir in pesto to taste, if desired.

really cool "journal" site !

waiting.....

ughh...is it too much to ask for  to have:

1. a dependable,steady,"predictable (in schedule and pay)"  job?
2. a place of my own. So I can do what I want, when I want.Decorate how I want. Tell people to leave when I want.
3. a kitty.

thats.all. i. ask.


it's like ....  a present I know is under the tree, I've asked and hoped for it for so long,and I've been told that's what the wrapped package is,but when I got to retrieve it, there's a  guard dog,or a cliff,or a canyon...or something blocking me....

Counting *SOME* of my blessings....

List 5 traits, skills, or talents you're happy you have.

How to do it

Maybe you like your hair, eyes, or smile. Perhaps you're a great listener and have endless patience with your children. Do you have one mean green thumb, a showstopping jump shot, or the uncanny ability to make others laugh? Or can you effortlessly navigate new cities, solve tough crosswords, or make a delicious meal? Whatever you like about yourself, write it down. Go for it, and don't hold back!

Why it matters

We often don't take the time to consider what's special about ourselves. And it's far too easy to tear yourself down. But that sense of self-worth is all the stronger when we acknowledge the things we do well and the great qualities we have.

Fun Fact

"I'm OK, You're OK," the classic self-help book that promoted a deeper understanding of one's self as a way to improve personal relationships, was the United States' number-one bestseller in 1969.

2. Same for hair...love my natural color!
3. I am caring. Giving of my self comes natural.
4. I love learning,growing,exploring.

A Franciscan Blessing. POWERFUL

May God bless you with discomfort. Discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial
relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart. Amen
May God bless you with anger. Anger at injustice, oppression and exploitation of people, so that
you may work for justice, freedom and peace. Amen
May God bless you with tears. Tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection,
starvation and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and turn their pain
into joy. Amen
May God bless you with foolishness. Enough foolishness to believe that you can make a
difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done. Amen
And the blessing of God, who creates, redeems and sanctifies, be upon you and all you love and
pray for this day, and forever more. Amen
-Jonathan Lo, ACT:S Faith and Justice Fellow

Daily Challenge

Add a fresh lime or lemon to your shopping list.

How to do it

Grab your shopping list and add a fresh lemon or lime to it. The next time you're at the grocery store, head to the produce section and look for ripe lemons and limes that are bright in color, firm, and heavy for their size. The ones with the thinner peels tend to be juicier. Later on, you can cook a meat or vegetable dish with lemon wedges instead of salt. Or add thin slices of lemon or lime to a pitcher of ice water for a refreshing drink. Fresh lemons and limes will keep in the refrigerator crisper for about four weeks, and you can freeze their juices.

Why it matters

Lemons and limes are powerhouses of vitamin C and other antioxidants, which research has shown to be associated with reducing inflammation and preventing heart disease. The tangy flavor of lemons and limes make a great salt substitute for people who are watching their salt intake. And a glass of sparkling water with lemon or lime slices is a delicious, zero-calorie, sugar-free drink.

Fun Fact

Your genes determine how sour you find the taste of a lemon or lime.

i will use already bought "all natural" "pure" lemon juice to make lemon pepper chicken for lunch!! add some rice and mixed veggies...wonderful!

cool site /many blog post to come alert!!!

I found THIS SITE. It is awesome/challenging. It offers a daily challenge based on a short quiz you take at the free sign-up.The quiz is based on healthy choices you make and happiness with life situations. The challenges are just that...challenges to push you beyond, expand your mind. This is something I love...being pushed,expanded,growing.learning.

I thought about doing it on paper,all  journal like, but I prefer blogging... I'll get more feedback that way (HOPEFULLY!!!!!!!!)  I'd LOVE to see others responses to this!

Day 1:

Write down 5 activities that make you happy.

How to do it

Whether browsing the bookstore's new arrivals or planting your favorite flowers, no activity is too small or too silly to be on your happiness list. Next, make a date with yourself to do a favorite activity this week. You may want to put your list on the fridge or bathroom mirror as a daily reminder.

Why it matters

Research shows that you can learn to be happier and more satisfied with your life, even if you're not someone who usually looks on the bright side. Your genes influence about 50% of your personal happiness (meaning you inherited your tendency to see the glass half-full or half-empty). Life circumstances (like where you live or the size of your bank account) affect another 10%. That means the other 40% is yours to shape!

Fun Fact

The phrase "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness" comes from the U.S. Declaration of Independence.

1. Get Primped up...hair,clothes,nails,makeup...   Tuesday!!!
2. cook (preferably something new)  Friday!!!
3. hike/camp/canoe/ other wise enjoy nature
4. board/card games
5. Plan...parties,events,decor for a room,organizing techniques, you name it

So, friends ,what's your "happy list"???

treadmill

so,i'm a 'treadmill person'. I hate running/walking out side for exercise (hiking is different). I LOVE the treadmill.

I found this Couch to 5K running program...looks awesome!

I "started" the 9 week program today...with out much luck. It was not the program's fault. It was just a crappy workout day. Especially to start a new program.

• hadn't worked out since Friday. It's Wednesday! 'Nough said.
• wore different shoes...not the best idea.
• ate right before I worked out, and not a lot.
• Hadn't had any coffee ...yes,it makes a difference!

So, going to scrap today and then try again tomorrow.

Tangled...In Him!

um....wow...awesome movie.

There are a lot of Christians who don't watch movies b/c they are "worldly". Yes,some can be. I agree. The Word says to guard your heart above all things,for it is the wellspring of Life!

However, The Father speaks to me through movies sometimes,if I'm open . Actually, anything. Even a secular song! (Yes,He's done it!).


I was really touched by this movie and saw a lot of parallels.Couldn't wait to share! *If you've seen the movie,read on , and ignore the out of orderness*

WARNING....MOVIE SPOILERS!!!!!!!

1. She didn't know she was a princess right off.
2.She was held captive by some one who wanted to keep her from that revelation (AND A CROWN!!!!),b/c it would bring her freedom,and b/c of their greed! She did this by deceit.
3. Her hair...her captor told her it was the most important thing,to protect it....how ever, even though it got her out of a few sticky situations,it was a hindrance...freedom didn't come until it was gone.
4.She saw the lanterns (lights)...and only dreamed of being there,in the midst of them. She knew there was more than what she was living. She knew they were the key. HE IS OUR LIGHT AND SALVATION!
5.She had to fight to secure her place. She knew it was worth it. She was realizing the truth!
6. She had a savior...who turned out to be her lover
7.The whole kingdom waited for their lost princess to return home. And rejoiced when she did! (Clouds of Witness,any one?)
8.She had to not be fearful to be herself when saving her and Eugene.
9.The chameleon...like the Holy Spirit....know one knew he was there but her (and eventually Eugene) and he helped her make decisions.

I'm sure there's more...but that's all for now...can't wait to watch it again!

Favorite Kitchen Gadget???

What's your favorite kitchen gadget??Here's my top 5 in no particular order!

 

Electric Food Chopper....Makes everything easier!

Slow Cooker....so easy to be productive! Cooking,with out cooking!

 

My Drainer... It works for canned stuff,as well as tuna....absolutely LOVE this. Got addicted to it in College!

my Coco-Latte....Its simply amazing. You add a powdered mix (coca,cappuccino,cider,etc),flavorings (chocolate syrup,chocolate milk mix,what ever!),liquid (milk is my preferred,but you can do water!),plug it in,press the ON button,and let it go. It heats and mixes it perfectly. Then, when it stops mixing, you just flip the lever to dispense it into your cup! It also keeps it warm for a second helping and it has a "froth" option!

Programmable Coffee Pot not much to say about this one, except how wonderful it is getting up to coffee already made!That is...if you remember to set it the night before!

Recipie Review

Campbell's Creamy Chicken Broccoli Noodles Recipe - Food.com - 257963

• 2 (3 ounce) packages chicken-flavored ramen noodles
• 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
• 0.5 (10 3/4 ounce) soup can milk
• 1 1/2 cups cooked broccoli
• 1 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken

Well, I did this "my" way...

I substituted the mushroom soup for 2 cans of cheddar cheese soup, omitted the milk, and used frozen broccoli ,and added onion.

I cooked and drained the ramen, added the soup,broccoli,seasoning packets,chicken and onion. I cooked everything in one pot,stove top.

Turned out great,although with my pans,I had to stay with it ,constantly stirring after I added everything until it was heated through

...next time,I think I'll add black pepper,and possibly garlic powder... and not cut the chicken into such little pieces!
possibly look into shredded cheese instead of cheddar cheese soup...cheaper! I will need to still use the "cream of" soup!


Over all,a great recipe, def a new favorite.

~ME~

Ready? Set? Go!

I believe this,wholeheartedly.
So, to remedy that...
Remember in a previous post, I said I wanted to be organized and expand my musical horizons?

Well, I found a awesome Excel Planner! Get yours here!

vision board

 

with the new year,time  to re-prioritize 

 These aren't resolutions...these are much more..preparing my self for the MANIFESTATION and demonstration of his Glory!

1 cor 10:31...priority

Fruits and veggies....I love em,but don't eat enough...also want more SPIRITUAL fruit!

also don't exercise as much as I should...physically or spiritually....here's to that changing!

very often neglected...

perhaps expand on my new introduction to bead work?

I'd LOVE to take a pottery class!!!!!

perhaps I can find something to share on Etsy?

I LOVE cooking. I want to do at LEAST 2 new recipes a month.

sports...those that know me well are laughing...hard. I want someone *anyone with the patience* to sit down and explain some of the terms/rules of football and basketball...so i'm not completely clueless...and I'd love to improve my tennis and golf and bowling games....and not through the Wii...

i want to expand my musical horizons...

I love books....2  a month (a goal i saw a friend have,sounds great to me. 1 "personal development" and 1 "for fun"...

once a month...out of Branson (and Harrison and Springfield don't count.)

Camping on some of those trips? Yes,Please!

Visiting Friends? You betcha.

Life Source.

Personal,but basically means Learning to Love who I am in Him

future students.

Love these people.Nough Said.

need to go visit...soon..

staying organized is gonna help this year...

Planning my time wisely.

 

Tithing. more than the 10%....He's worthy of so much more!

So,my plea ? Help me. Keep me accountable.Pray for me. Bug me for updates. Share your victories...and trials so I can pray for you. Go on this Incredible Journey that is 2011 with me...
