Lemon Pudding Cakes Recipe: Perfect for Any Occasion

We had the sweet blessing this weekend of enjoying dinner at our daughter and son-in-law’s when they were hosting some of our precious missionaries. I love fellowship with my girls and their husbands in their homes. They are both terrific homemakers, cooks and bakers, and it’s a joy to watch them serve their families and others with their gifts.

When Alli invited us to join them for dinner, I asked what I could bring to contribute to the meal. She said she hadn’t planned anything for dessert, if I would like to make something sweet. I was happy about that!

She told me she was making baked chicken thighs, mashed potatoes, asparagus, carrots and rolls. Since it was going to be a filling menu, I wanted to bring something that tasted a little light. Suddenly, a recipe came to mind that I hadn’t made in a good while – Lemon Pudding Cakes.

Two Exciting Announcements!

Happy August! Our summer is flying by, and has been full of good things! Today is a continuation of those blessings!

There are two exciting things happening today!

  1. We are officially launching our new DandD Ministries website! You can find it here. It has all the information about the ministry the Lord led us to begin nearly two years ago. It was birthed out of a burden to encourage ministry couples. God has done amazing things that we never dreamed of, but it has been so wonderful to follow His leading.
    This brings me to the next exciting thing that is happening today!
  2. We are opening registration for our inaugural Refuge and Refreshment Retreat that will take place in January of 2026.

Have you ever stopped to consider the intentional design of God when He created Adam and Eve? What strengths did He give them in order to help them thrive in their roles?

The continuation of the subject of Biblical womanhood zooms in on the creation of the man and the woman. We learn in Genesis 2:15, 18-24 that there were some differences in God’s purpose for Adam and Eve.

Easy Summer Dinners: No-Cook and Slow Cooker Recipes

On these hot days in late summer, making supper without heating up the kitchen can be a challenge. I want to provide a delicious meal, but I want to do it without standing at an outdoor grill or without a 375 degree oven causing the air conditioners to work extra hard.

My best tool on these days is the crock pot. While talking with Whitney this past weekend, she was remarking at how many recipes done in the slow cooker include ingredients like creamed soups. In my opinion, those kind of recipes add calories, sodium, and a dish that’s too heavy for a 90 degree day.

Why Am I Not Getting Things Accomplished At Home?

Have you ever felt discouraged that the long list of things that need your attention in your home aren’t getting done?

Perhaps there never seems time to get that laundry washed and folded. Or that paint you purchased for your bedroom is still sitting unopened. Maybe you had good intentions for your yard this summer, but the weeds are the only thing growing out back. The struggle is real and I can relate.
