Disney Deliciousness

How kind the Lord is to allow our D&D ministry to start back up two weekends ago. We returned to a church in Florida for a meeting. It was a great time with these precious people!

After it ended, we had the fun of meeting our daughter, Whitney and her husband, Paul at Disney World! It had been 40 years since we were there, and that was as sponsors for a school trip, so it wasn’t really a true experience of the parks. Paul and Whitney are pro’s, so she planned our trip and we got to go along for the ride (pun intended!).

Since Monday is normally recipe day here on my blog, I’m going to share some of the amazing food we ate while there. The blessing is that though we took in some calories, we walked an average of six to eight miles each day, so we got in plenty of exercise!

We didn’t just eat inside the parks; we went to the different resorts to enjoy their restaurants as well. That was one of the blessings of traveling Disney with seasoned veterans!

Here are the some of the delicious things we enjoyed and the place where we ate it…

Hearty Turkey Sloppy Joe’s

About two weeks ago, I posted a little video on Instagram of lunch being made. I fixed a Turkey Sloppy Joe that day. It’s such a great midday meal! I found this healthy and hearty Sloppy Joe recipe on the Weight Watchers site. It makes a lot, so I know I have many servings ready! This is great for fixing for a group, or just your family’s weekly lunchtime. Don’t let “Weight Watchers” make you leery! This is simply lower in calories because it’s made with ground turkey. The flavors are incredible!

Tips for Creating a Wedding Director Basket

Last weekend there was a wedding at our church. The Winter Storm Warnings added lots of extra elements (and stress for the couple), but beauty was certainly a bonus ingredient!

The bride and groom asked if they could have some pictures made on our back patio (above). This is wedding shoot #3 out there, and it was gorgeous! Perhaps I’ll share a pic of them later, after they post pictures On-Line.
