I shared today’s recipe 15 years ago here on my blog! I hadn’t made these in a long time, but recently in one of my cooking lessons with my grandson, I thought of this recipe and knew it would be one he could do, and would enjoy. He and his brother loved them! These are simple, made up primarily of ground beef and canned biscuits.

My Lamp Addiction
It’s true – I have an addiction for lamps. It’s because of their incredible power. Aside from giving light for reading, hobbies or work, they can take a cold, dark corner and turn it into a cozy, inviting space.
When Whitney brought a rechargeable lamp to the hotel for our girl’s trip a few weeks back, it added a lovely, homey touch to our hotel room. After our trip was over, I thought about several “dark” places in my home where there is no outlet for a “real” lamp. I went looking and found a pretty copper-based one at TJ Maxx that I loved. I had so much fun when I brought it home putting it in several spots that need the coziness it could give.

My grandsons came to stay overnight last Friday night. Because their family’s tradition is pizza on Friday night, I made an old favorite that I don’t believe I’ve ever shared here. What?! I decided you need this recipe, too! It took me 2 hours from start to sitting at the table to enjoy. That might sound like lots of work, but part of that time is when the dough is resting. This recipe (from Cooking Light) is delicious and worth the effort!!
Decision Fatigue’s Remedy
I heard a phrase recently on a podcast and it clicked with me. The phrase was decision fatigue. It resonated with me because recently I have felt the difficulty of decisions before me. Big and little things needed to be decided all day long…
- What can I make for lunch?
- What should I include in my fall capsule wardrobe that will get me through the next ten weeks of travel?
- Should I run to KY for a quick visit?
- What topics does the Lord want me to speak on in upcoming marriage conferences? (Probably the most difficult decision!)
On and on the questions loomed before me.
Watching the video footage of the recent flooding and tidal waves in Nepal, China was horrific. It broke my heart to hear of the many who lost their lives and their homes in an instant, so I’m not making light of it in my reference here. As I have tried to settle in on my many decisions, the picture of those HUGE waves coming behind the terrified citizens, came to my mind. I have often felt like I was getting ready to be swallowed up by all the questions I needed to answer. Have you ever felt that pressure?

The BEST Strawberry Buttercream
No birthday is complete without a yummy dessert, right? At least in my book that’s true! For her recent birthday, my daughter suggested I make either chocolate or strawberry cake. I decided to combine those two flavors into one cake!
I went looking for a strawberry icing and came across this one that was amazing! All Sally’s recipes are delicious!
