Listening to God’s prodding reaps positive results. Funny how that works. It’s like St. Ignatius of Loyola said, “Sin is unwillingness to trust that what God wants is our deepest happiness.” David Benner adds to that, “Until I am absolutely convinced of this I will do everything I can to keep my hands on the […]
The One with (another) Wedding
It’s been a great couple of days. Not only has the weather been ideal for my preferences, but we’ve enjoyed a wedding, a children’s led worship service, a fantastic time with the youth group, and more. Friday evening, we traveling 20 minutes down the road to Clair & Caitlin’s wedding rehearsal. It was kind of […]
Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
This recipe came on the back of the Quaker Oats container, so I figured it must be pretty good. :) I compared the ingredients with this recipe and after finding that there were significant differences, I decided this was worth a try. They turned out great–especially when I let them rest on the cookie sheet […]
The One with the Crazy Rants
So I’m just wondering…has anyone figured out why there is the “me” included in my blog address? Well, besides the fact that adorkable.blogspot.com was already taken…by some teenager who posted once. four years ago. about her lame boyfriend. Geez, I was a bit irritated when I found that out. What a waste of a perfectly […]
The One where the Game is Over and I Can Go to Bed
It’s after 10pm and I’m tired, as per usual. But alas, I remain at my desk drowsily operating my fingers and attempting to keep my mouth from gaping open in it’s pre-sleep-getting-ready-to-salivate-all-over-my-pillow state. Gross, I know. TMI? probably. meh. I’m still awake because my husband is still awake and I have been completely spoiled this […]
Balsamic Tomatoes, Beans and Rice
I found this recipe on kraftfoods.com last week one night when I was completely at a loss for what to fix for dinner. This looked quick and easy and not to mention nutritious. I am SO glad I gave it a chance. It was delicious and even better for left overs. 1 can (28 oz.) […]
Soft and Chewy Oatmeal Cookies
This recipe and I have a history. Sometime last summer, I pulled it out of my Taste of Home collection as I was intrigued by it’s original title “Poor Man’s Cookies.” I found out by reading the author’s notes that the reason for this name is due to the lack of eggs, milk, and nuts. […]
Grandma Mary’s Potato Salad
Though not a raving fan of potato salad (especially not of the store made variety), I have always loved my Grandma Mary’s version. At many holidays my family requested this side dish and just last summer, I called up Grams and asked for her “secret.” Apparently she cooks alot like I do as her measurements […]
The One where the Eccles Set up Camp
Before you get too far into this post, I would like to inform you that, though written in my usual style, the majority of this account is for posterity, so that Kevin and I have an account of the wonderful way we spent our first anniversary. Now, if you don’t mind length, feel free to […]
The One with the White Fluffs Floating through the Air
This week’s weather has been less than ideal, especially after coming home from a hot and steamy Florida. My perfect day would be sunny with a high 75 (ironically not because of the RK song…). Today is still is the 60s which is cool with me especially since it’s sunny and not at all lame […]
