My New Oulet

My new "outlet", we'll say, has been cooking and trying new recipes. Within the last year to year and a half, I have been experimenting with ingredients and recipes. My family calls me a Rachael Ray "wanna-be".

I have totally converted my kitchen to Rachael Ray stainless steal pots and pans, Food Network knives, Rachael Ray utensils and cookware, and cookbooks and I can't believe how much I've learned about food in that short amount of time. I use to cook the frozen all-in-one meals that you throw into a pan and cook for 10 minutes and wa-la it's finished. The taste and texture was never the greatest, but at least it felt like a homemade meal.

Now when I cook, I cook with passive and a desire for my family to enjoy every meal. I Corinthians 10:31 says "Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." Since all means all and that's all all means, I learned through our first few years of marriage that not giving my all in cooking, was not doing all to the glory of God.

Here are some of the more recent recipes that we have really come to love and enjoy (this is a BRIEF list):
