Buddy’s Mushroom Risotto
I love Buddy V from Cake Boss, and when I found his video on youtube, he got me hooked on the idea. The bummer is that his recipe on his YouTube channel is not correct, so I watched what he did and improvised a bit, but it’s mostly true to his video. And no parsley! I hate the hassle of…
How it Feels to Love Jesus
Recently I have been trying to figure out how to explain and communicate my feelings and love for Jesus. Unless you know Him, you don’t know what that feeling is like. Well today a FB friend of mine Joy Jenkins shared, almost by accident, a video with me. Normally I won’t watch a 30 min video in the morning before…
Chinese Chicken with Carrots and Shiitake Mushrooms
When I was a kid, my stepfather used to cook Chinese food all the time. And one of my favorite recipe’s was one he called “Chicken with fish sauce”. But I never liked the name, so I have renamed it and adapted it to be my own. This recipe was originally from the Craig Clairborne and Virginia Lee “The Chinese…
Chinese Chicken Thighs with Ginger Garlic Tomato Sauce
This is the recipe for the dish my step father used to make from the Craig Clairborne Cookbook. I have adapted it slightly. I tried it in the slow cooker, but it’s really not as good. Plus since it only cooks 30-35 min, the stove top is fine and makes cleaning up easier. I really like the Pomi brand…
Lemonade Jello
I loved Jello as a kid! My mom use to make it for me in the 70’s all the time. As an adult I still like Jello, but don’t want the added sugar. So here is my recipe for home made lemonade jello. I like to use honey instead of sugar, but if you prefer sugar or any other sweetener…
Beef Stew with Guinness Beer
This recipe is so easy! it comes together fast, and the Guinness makes it hearty. It originally came from an instagram post that my husband found, but then I modified it a lot. What I like about this recipe is that it’s fast and easy to make. The key is to cook the onions and garlic first. But you do…
We lift our voices to God!
When I wake up in the morning, I like to listen to this video as a way to spend time with God before I start my day. This video below is from Kanye West’s Sunday Service, where impromptu the singer, Sia, joined the Chorus in singing “Lift Up Your Voices” Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Celebrating the Epiphany!
If you don’t know what the Epiphany is, it’s a Christian holiday also referred to as “3 Kings Day”. This is the day people celebrate that Jesus was visited by the three kings who were Gentiles. Yeah I know, we typically think of the three kings visiting Jesus in the stable but the Bible doesn’t ever say that! The Feast…
Beef Short Ribs in Slow Cooker
This recipe is originally from the Williams-Sonoma book "The Essentials of Slow Cooking" but I have modified it a lot to remove a bunch of fat, and to add many more carots
Kanye West’s Passion for Jesus
About a month ago I discovered the music of Kanye West and his album: “Jesus is King”. This began when his latest album was released and I started hearing about it. You can read my first article about Kanye West’s conversion here Since then I have been overcome by his passion for Christ, which I too share. I love how…
