Stuffed Sweet Peppers
I’m not sure where I first encountered this delicious dish, Stuffed Sweet Peppers, but I'm so glad I did! My husband and I now make stuffed peppers often as a side when we have steaks. Who would have thought to stuff sweet peppers with pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and then grill them? I didn't, but I'm certainly glad someone introduced us to it.

How to Create a Grab-N-Go Emergency Binder

Christmas, a joyous time of year! At least it is for me. Yes, there are times when things may seem overwhelming.

The Best Crockpot Roast
I’ve never been much of a roast eater. I have had deer roast that brother has made, but that’s about it. My husband has asked on occasion for me to make a roast and I believe one time in all our years together he made a deer roast. I think my big problem with roast is adding all the vegetables. Which I guess can be optional. I always thought the potatoes got a blood taste and that just grossed me out. My mom kept raving about this new roast recipe that her friend told her about. I have no idea where her friend found it or maybe she’s been using…

Quiet Time
As I site here on this beautiful Sunday morning sipping my sweet tea, I can’t help but think I’ve been very busy lately and my time I spend with God has dwindled. Not that I do it on purpose, but I have not got my routine back in place. During the summer I did a bible study and that really helped keep me in His word. Once the bible study was over, I did bible study plans in my bible app. As school started, both kids in soccer and business picked up, life became hectic and my routine has changed. I try to catch the verse of the day in…

Perfect Instant Pot Hard Boiled Eggs
When I first saw the Instant Pot and that you could do hard-boil eggs in it, I wanted it! That is basically the only reason I wanted the Instant Pot. So, after a few years of research and not really wanting to spend the money on the Instant Pot, my Mom got me one for Christmas. Do you know what the first thing I made in it was? You guessed it water! Oh, wait, that is not what you guessed? I did the test run in the instructions and you just use water. But the second thing I made was…yep hard-boiled eggs! I am going to share with you my…

How to Make a Home Binder
I have always wanted a home binder. I thought it would help me be organized and have a tidy house. Problem is I didn’t exactly know how to use a home binder or what it was even for. I just liked that it looked like things were organized in a binder. I love binders and I like organization. So you see why I needed a home binder!?! The more research I put into a home binder, the more I learned about them and that they can vary drastically. Here is what I found can be kept in a home binder.

Choosing A Life Verse
On June 30, 2019 at my church was the last sermon in a series on life verses. I’ve never thought about a life verse before and still have yet to have a verse “jump out” at me so to speak. The verse: “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33 Besides the power of this verse, I found that God was saying mediate on this one and think about it, lay it on your heart. Why you ask? Well when I opened my bible app to read along with the scripture, guess what!? Matthew 6:33 was the…
