HE MAKES A WAY

OUR TEXAS HENS

Our hens lay some pretty awesome eggs. This size doesn't even fit into a carton.

THE KING RAT ROD ... BEAUTIFUL BEAST

The KING of rat rods. My man built this incredible machine & the ride is a rush.

ADVOCARE SPARK

I can recommend Advocare Spark.
I love the feeling I get from the B vitamins -- it's a great way to start the day.
It's a step toward peace -- it makes me feel like I want to hug the world.

COLEMAN, TEXAS STREET SIGN

Looks like, back in the day, the city of Coleman, Texas may have enlisted the mad skills of local plumbers in the creation of their street sign poles.

VINTAGE CAKE TIN

Back in a time when labeling was necessary -- Before the days of...
'THEY ALL WANT CAKE"

MY SUNFLOWERS

Several years ago I noticed some new birds in my yard. They were very small. The male was black with a bright yellow underside & the female was a light grey that sometimes looked almost yellow. I had some large sunflowers growing near the front gate. Pulling up to the gate, I noticed one of those tiny birds on the sunflower & picking seeds out of the center. I now know these little guys to be 'lesser goldfinches' & I think I have two couples living here. I let the volunteer sunflowers come up to be food for these beautiful little birds.
His creation is amazing.

John 15:5

On a walk down my street, I couldn't resist taking a photo of this beautiful tree with it's branches outstretched to me.
I thought of our Saviour, the beauty of His Creation & His Words that speak of our connection to Him through salvation. Saved by His grace, we serve Him (the VINE) during this race that we run call LIFE.
Father, help me to be a strong branch, constantly aware of my life source being You ( the VINE), & let me reach out to this world that we are 'in' but not 'of'. Let my prayers avail much that I could bless others
in Your Name & for the sake of Your Kingdom.
You, alone, are worthy.

GIFT PROJECT using PINK LEMONADE BLOSSOMS

After making the Pink Lemonade Blossom cakes & letting the glaze dry,
I packed them up in a jar as a gift.

 

 

 

I purchased a medium sized cracker jar in which to place the cakes when the glaze had dried.
I used a floral gauze ribbon, a pink tag ( heart-shaped hole punch on the tag), & placed
3D butterflies on top of the lid.
(don't pack cakes too tightly in the jar)

 

3D Butterflies
 



I made the blossoms for a friend for mother's day, but the tag could be made for any occasion.
 

PINK LEMONADE BLOSSOMS

 

 

Bowl contains the glaze. Remove cakes from the pan, dip them in the glaze (hold them over the bowl for a moment to let the excess glaze run off) then place them on wax paper to 'dry'.
ENJOY

Dusting Hint

I have a number of fans around the house & find that cleaning the vents is a little easier with a large, soft paint brush.

THE KING RAT ROD

My husband is a master rat builder & this beast is a testimony to that talent & skill.
This amazing car is breath-taking, especially when Tom fires the engine.
I have learned to wear earplugs so that I can 'enjoy' the adrenaline a little more when we ride.

RAW CHOCOLATE CHEESECAKE

 

 

An Advocare Herbal Cleanse lasts for 10 days. That is a long time for me to go without processed sugars, dairy & flour.

I found an amazing receipt that I tweaked a bit for my taste. It is free of dairy, soy, gluten & processed sugars. And I think it tastes delicious.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RAW CHOCOLATE CHEESE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE SAUCE

 

• 2 cups cashews, pieces
• 1/2 cup coconut oil, liquid
• 1 cup Agave
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened)

Directions:

Soak cashews for about 10-15 minutes, then rinse well. Place cashews into a blender with agave, vanilla & water. Blend for a little bit to get it creamy. Next add cocoa & coconut oil. Blend until creamy. You may need to scrap the sides, just keep blending until it is nice & smooth. Pour contents of blender into a pie pan (or glass container, something about the size of a pie).

 

CHOCOLATE SAUCE

• 1/3 cup coconut oil, liquid
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 8 tsp Agave
• 4 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)

 

Directions: Place all in a glass bowl or measuring cup, mix well and pour over the 'cake'.

Place in the fridge to cool.

 

As we cut a piece of the CAKE, we like to top the piece with fresh sliced strawberries or fresh fruit salad. This is how I have my 'chocolate covered strawberries' while on the cleanse.
