Who doesn’t enjoy a little snack between meals? But when you’re trying to be careful of what you eat, it’s hard to find something that’s not too fattening, but will give you a Continue reading “(L)Oven Monday – Baked Parmesan Crisps”

Lessons in a Hospice Room
Being in the presence of a man who is dying and yet is still rejoicing in his spirit is worthy of mental note-taking.
Just last week my husband and I had the blessing of visiting the founder of The Wilds Christian Camp, Dr. Ken Hay, known to most as “Doc.” He was in hospice care after all had been done to help him, yet his body continued to decline. Continue reading “Lessons in a Hospice Room”
Spring Prep Bucket List
Even if it doesn’t feel like spring where you live, the season is officially here. Shout hallelujah! This is truly my favorite season. Everything is coming to life again and that makes me so happy!
Here are a few things – “bucket ideas,” if you will, of things I’d encourage you to do right now to get ready for spring to arrive in your area:
- Layer up! Get together some outfits that you can layer together. I talk about this in the fall and spring, but it’s essential during the transitioning temps of the seasons. You don’t have to wear your woolly winters just to stay comfortable. Here are a few pictures of things I’ve worn this spring ~
Low-Carb Breakfast Burrito
The winter months always do it to me…
- Comfort foods entice me
- A few extra pounds hang on me
- Tight jeans strangle me
- Physical Discomfort discourages me
When you’re only 4’9″, every couple of pounds really shows! But now that spring is here and vacation is in my horizon, I’m trying to kick those few extra pounds! I’m not on any specific diet, I’m just trying to reduce carbohydrates. That means no bread, no sugar, no potatoes, no pasta. But you know what? That doesn’t mean I’m not eating good food!! The Lord made such a variety of great, healthy food for us to enjoy, didn’t He? You can eat healthy food that is delicious and filling!
No fooling!
This past weekend Whitney was talking about Breakfast Burritos; oh man! I used to make those when the girls were home. But tortillas are off my list of low-carb foods. What to do? Make the outside of the burrito with an egg! The result was delicious and I truly didn’t miss the tortilla!
It’s simple to do: Scramble 2 eggs with a couple tablespoons of milk and pour half of the mixture into a non-stick pan sprayed with cooking spray. Coat the bottom of the pan with the egg mixture. Add salt and pepper. Swirl the pan so it covers the bottom. Cook until lightly browned on the bottom.
Loosen the edges of the egg and then flip it over, using a large spatula.
Cook for about 1 minute or until underside is cooked.
Remove from pan and add toppings. I added bacon, tomatoes, and avocado.
Roll it up like a burrito and enjoy!Yum!!
Repeat the process with the other half of your egg mixture! I made the second one and then wrapped it in waxed paper to warm up for the next day’s breakfast. I heated it in the microwave on 70% power for 30 seconds. Quick, easy, delicious, and LOW-CARB!

A Date Along the Scenic Route
New routines in marriage can be so healthy! Recently my husband and I have been enjoying Saturday night drives. Our Saturday’s are typically busy getting ready for a busy Sunday, so by the end of the day, we both need a little time together and a drive as the sun sets has been so refreshing!
Our last drive took us towards Greeneville, Tennessee, about 45 minutes from our home. Following our typical date night pattern, we took the back roads. We twisted along the Continue reading “A Date Along the Scenic Route”
