Dinner...



Okay, so I still have camera problems, but I have an iPhone, so I am making do for now with camera phone pictures...

Tonight's Menu:

Cheese Ravioli and Tortellini
Marinara Sauce with Fresh Spinach
Italian Herbed Bread Sticks

Yes the Bread sticks are about 18 inches long! They were a hit! I made an Italian herb bread (dough cycle) machine recipe with Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese, brushed the sticks with olive oil, butter salt and pepper when they came out of the oven.

Bread Machine Applesauce


We purchased a bag of apples from Sam's Club a few weeks ago, and although they were not "bad" the apple lovers in our family thought the flavor and texture wasn't "spot-on" after they sat... so I had read a while ago that you can use your bread machine to make jellies and sauces... here we go! I used five apples, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup cranberry juice, 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice and a splash of water... set the machine on quick bread and reset it twice after a 20 minute bake... yummy chunky applesauce with our pork chops for dinner!

Trying to get in a RoUTinE...

How hard it is to move, get a brand spankin new life, and find routine. I don't know if I ever will again. I am seeking what Our Lord and father has for me as an Army Wife Life, and continue to guide my teens in their learning... back into the kitchen, which is still boxed in the garage... FRG, UMT, PWOC, OaCSA... yup, learning a new language!

Summer Haircuts




I haven't been able to be around lately, and I sure miss my KITCHEN and my MAN to feed... I did find a WiFi zone and a few minutes to post pics of our haircuts...

Exciting time for my niece...

Wedding plans, in the deep south of Texas. South Padre Island to be exact. It is fun to be around all the planning and getting pretty for the weekend. My sweet Danielle will play violin on the beach for her, an Irish entrance and traditional march to exit... pre-service music including Bach and Handel... I love the violin!

I am searching a way to place photos on my blogs while I am staying with my sister in Texas, without wifi in the house I am finding it hard to get to a local coffee house to blog.

I am continually thankful for God's graciousness in provisions for my family. At times it is breath taking. HE is awesome.
