Find refreshment for your heart, home and life
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!
My husband recently came home with two dozen eggs that had been marked down. I decided immediately that I would make an angel food cake, since most recipes take about a dozen. If you’ve never made one from scratch, you are missing a delicious treat. They’re SO much better than the store bought variety!
When I was a teenager there was a bakery in my hometown that made a Chocolate Chip Angel Food Cake that was so delicious. I’ve made plain and Cappuccino, but decided to look for a recipe for that might replicate the one from Purdue Bakery in Winchester, Kentucky. I feel like this came really close!
When you love a cookie, you want to keep honing in on the best recipe out there. My favorite is a thick, chewy chocolate chip cookie, soft in the center and full of chocolate chips! The Nestle recipe is good, but I’ve found one that tops it!
I’ve shared some great recipes on my blog, but I must say the recipe I found recently is even better!

It was a joy to speak at a church staff training and encourage the folk regarding their ministries where they serve. I had the blessing of speaking to the women in a split session. Dale preached three times on Saturday and three times on Sunday. I guess you could say we jumped into the fall schedule with both feet! It was a blessing!
We stayed overnight in the home of Church members, and we were served so sweetly. Our gracious hosts served in such a way that made it seem easy. Yet it’s humbling to be the guest because I know how much work goes into that. I always pray for our hosts the week before we go, knowing the load that they carry.
The gracious people who housed us worked ahead before we got there. I could see it in every detail.

When my girls asked me to make a cake for our family vacation and family celebration, I looked at lots of options, then landed on our long-time favorite – Triple Chocolate Cake. I think deciding which cake to make was harder than actually making it! First on the list was making sure I had all the ingredients on hand. That didn’t mean a run to the store because I am enjoying the blessing of occasionally having my Kroger grocery order delivered. I was able to get a rate for being a Kroger Boost member $35 for the year. That allows me to have groceries delivered the next day at no charge. For the most part it’s been wonderful. Why?
However, a happy accident happened when the Devil’s Food Cake Mix didn’t show up in my delivery. I was planning to make the cake layers for the Triple Chocolate Cake on that day. Since I didn’t want to undo the blessing of the delivery, I went looking for a cook chocolate cake recipe that I could make from scratch instead. The happy accident was that the recipe I baked made the Triple Chocolate cake recipe so much better that I’ll never use that box mix again!
