♥Hi Friends!
This post is going to be something of an apology to my daughters (and my sons as well although my choices simply haven’t had the effect on them like they have on my girls). You see, I ‘ve done them a great disservice, especially the oldest two. Continue reading “An apology to my daughters…& a recipe for ‘Orange Julius’.”

A couple of months ago a woman came and spoke to the youth in our congregation about the Adversary’s tools that he uses to make us feel worthless and forget who we are (children of God), with the sole intent to destroy us. She related a story about her teenage son who had struggled with pornography a few years back. Continue reading “You are not the enemy!…& a recipe for ‘Mom’s Totally Awesome Trail Mix’.”

I’m definitely not a numbers gal. And after about 7th grade I could not wrap my brain around math at all. (I remember having a recurring nightmare about these numbers counting higher and higher and rushing by me and leaving me behind. I couldn’t get in the line because they were going too fast. Scary, huh? I know!) And you can forget about english and creative story writing. There’s just not a creative bone in my body! Or so I thought.

About 8 years ago, after we moved back to Utah and settled in to our current home, it didn’t take me long to discover this delightful little bakery in our area that made the most amazing sugar cookies. I was hooked and would sneak down and get them several times a week. Continue reading “I love ‘Maple Bacon’ doughnuts!…& a recipe for ‘Goat Cheese Sandwiches’.”

I think one of the greatest challenges in making the switch to plant-based eating is transitioning our families. It was a huge roadblock for me. Continue reading “How do I transition my family?…& a recipe for ‘Clam Chowder’.”

SPRING! What a HEALING time of year! It sounds so cliché, I know, but I love the feeling of rebirth from the change of seasons, more daylight, hearing the birds singing in the morning, the tulips and daffodils, and you should see my neighbors tree bursting with pink blossoms. It’s astounding! (And a picture of it is now the wallpaper on my phone.) Continue reading “Because he lives!…& a recipe for ‘Red Quinoa Spring Rolls’.”

Regarding the SPIRIT/BODY/MIND connection a wise man (namely Boyd K. Packer) once said: “Our spirit and our body are combined in such a way that our body becomes an instrument of our mind and the foundation of our character.” What does that mean?
