Have you ever thought about the fact that everything you put in front of your eyes is discipling you? Yes, your Facebook or Instagram feed, the books you read, the things you watch, and also the people with whom you spend your time are all instructing or training you in some way.
Fresh cherries are in season and I’ve been buying a bag each week at Aldi. They’re so good in everything from yogurt to fruit cups or my favorite cherry dessert – individual berry cobblers. Yum! The Individual Berry Cobblers (which are essentially quick, personal-sized fruit crisps) feature a warm, jammy berry base topped with a sweet, buttery oatmeal crumble. You can easily scale this recipe to make exactly as many servings as you need.
When decisions, small and great are before us, we want clear direction! Asking God’s will is a good question, but often the answer has been given, yet we are balking at it because it isn’t what we wanted or it isn’t how we expected God to answer!
When I was a child, I remember the delight of hearing the ice cream truck coming down our street, ringing its bell while playing carnival-like music. We occasionally were able to purchase a treat, but oh how fun when we did! Is summer really summer for a child without popsicles? Okay, it is, but there’s something special about a delicious frozen treat on a hot summer day! The ice cream truck isn’t needed for the treats I’m sharing today!
Homemade popsicles are so easy and are full of good ingredients. Last week my grandson came over for a visit. Wanting to make our time together special, I thought it would be fun for him to make these popsicles. I pulled up the recipe for these treats on Taste of Home’s site, and found that the five ingredients needed were all in my pantry and freezer. He often has to miss out on purchased treats because he is highly sensitive to food dyes, and many of the frozen varieties contain artificial colors. These are all natural ingredients and he was so excited both to make them and to eat them!
My garden has started producing zucchini and that means one thing for sure – Zucchini Bread! I love to enjoy it for breakfast or a snack, but don’t want it to be filled with tons of sugar or butter. I found a recipe on Sally’s Baking Addiction that uses Greek Yogurt that is much lighter, and it was so fluffy and delicious!
