For Christmas this year we decided that we just needed to be by ourselves and spend some time in reflection and prayer. So I cooked...a lot. Cooking for me is relaxing, enjoyable and comforting. Lots of times when I've cooked for people, they say things like "Don't trouble yourself" or "You don't need to spend all day cooking for us" or "We can just have sandwiches". But what most people don't realize is that I LOVE to cook, to try new recipes and to be in the kitchen. It's where I spent...

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas
Cold season has arrived just in time for Christmas and I am savoring every minute of it! Here's just a small idea of what this time of year looks like for us...

What gets me through the day?
In 90-110+ degree weather with high humidity levels there is

to hot coffee and loved it. Then...

Grossness
Grossness seems to be a theme this month. Let me explain.

They are flies that lay their eggs which then hatch and try to find a host to grow in. Once they are grown they come out the host and bury themselves in...
