My Favorite German Chocolate Cake

The holidays usually leave all of us feeling like our jeans certainly must have shrunk in the wash, right? Cough! Cough! I know I have eaten more than my share of sugar and carbs over Christmas and New Year’s and should be staring at a simple salad for the next month! But life happens! Things like birthdays come even after the holidays and we find the need for a great cake in order to celebrate. If you can celebrate with tofu, I applaud you! My family would cut my branch off the family tree! So…

Ways to Refresh Your Daily Life

August 16, 2019August 15, 2019 RefreshHer4 Comments

Weeks can be long and days so busy that we feel stressed and strained by Friday. Maybe you’ve come through a tough one with school beginning, or your job or home responsibilities. My life stays on the go, too, so I try to find ways to have little moments of refreshment that help me stay charged and not overwhelmed each day.

The first way I do that is time in God’s Word and prayer each day. Without it, I’m literally running on Empty! Right now I’m reading through the Bible in a year. I also study our Sunday lesson -currently Mark. Then I try to find little ways to have some bright spots in the week. Sometimes those times are planned; sometimes they’re pleasant surprises!

Here are ways I refreshed myself last week that could also encourage you! Let’s start with the surprise!

Flourless Banana Peanut Butter Muffins

July 1, 2019 RefreshHerLeave a comment

A super fast post today with a delicious flourless muffin you must make!! A friend recently shared this recipe with me and I made them IMMEDIATELY. We loved them and my very finicky grandson ate THREE!

You don’t have to be on a gluten-free diet to enjoy these! They have protein in the peanut butter, banana, honey and leavening. That’s it!

Super moist and yummy!

The recipe came from Averie Cooks. Check out the simple ingredients and instructions. She’s got lots of great looking recipes!

Now go bake some!

Do your friends share great recipes with you? What have you tried recently?

I love the blessing of cooking food for other people. When I recently made a meal for a family whom we love, I knew that they were fans (especially one of their daughters) of Ina Garten’s recipes. So I made up a menu of mostly all her recipes and set to work. I made one BIG blunder..,read on to see what I did!

Here’s what I made:
