Mini Berry Cheesecakes

frozen berry cheesecake

Cold like ice cream, smothered in berries — these mini cheesecakes are a great make-ahead summer dessert in convenient single servings. A tiny bowl of luscious blueberries encased in a creamy base with a touch of lime — not too rich and just enough sweet to satisfy.

Vanilla and Chocolate Popsicles or Pudding | Dairy Free

date sweetened dairy free chocolate pudding

You’re a blender whirl away from creamy vanilla pudding pops, faintly reminiscent of vanilla cupcakes, or a chocolate version that tastes like you’re licking a bowl of rich brownie batter. Dairy-free and sweetened with dates, a perfect summer treat.

Buckwheat Chocolate Chip Cookies – Gluten Free

The weather is getting hot (finally), so what better reason do you need to make up a batch of these gluten-free, buckwheat chocolate chip cookies? That’s what my mother said last night, and early this morning I heard the high speed blender grinding up buckwheat, and shortly after, the smell of freshly baked cookies wafted […]

Granola: The Master Recipe

My Master Granola Recipe — the basic proportions and “technique.” Create different granola “flavors” with your favorite combination of Add-Ins or munch away as is. Granola: The Master Recipe Ingredients 6 c rolled oats (not quick cooking) 2-4 c nuts and/or seeds (note: seeds will measure out as “more” per cup) 1/2 c coconut oil […]

Crunchy French Toast

crunchy french toast with corn flakes

If Pete offers to make food it will be either popcorn or breakfast. But his popcorn is perfect, and he is the breakfast king — both in terms of eating and cooking. That’s a good thing because I love popcorn and I don’t do breakfast. His specialty is a yeasted waffle, crispy on the outside […]

Random Life

What if We Were Meant to Live Forever?

What if we were meant to live forever, and life on earth was a mere sliver of time, tacked on to the front end of eternity? What if this life was just a drop about to be swallowed up in the ocean of eternity, a tiny speck in the universe of forever? How would we live?

Eating Wiener Schnitzel in the Twilight Zone

My in-laws said they’d meet us. My father-in-law had a hankering for wiener schnitzel — the German version of chicken parmesan made with veal — and found this restaurant online. Jager-Haus had been around forever and had a reputation for authentic German cuisine. We drove right past it the first time, missing the sign in […]

Bikini Bombshell

So I found myself in the dressing room at Victoria’s Secret trying on the Bombshell bikini top. Now, I don’t have a problem with a little enhancement. Sometimes a little smoothing, shaping, or boosting can make a big difference. I believe in making the most of what you have. But there’s a point at which enhancement turns into something else entirely […]

Keeping Up with the Joneses — In Which I Admit to Living Beyond My Means

I understand the importance of living within my financial means. And now that I’m doing Dave Ramsey’s Financial Peace, that concept is really being driven home. But when it comes to time and energy, I regularly live beyond my means. Everyday I’m allotted 24 hours. That’s my limit, the extent of my daily budget. But […]

In Which I Offer Up My Writing

Every day I offer up my writing, imagining the five loaves and two fish. Far too often I’m breaking up the bread before I lay it in the basket. And all I’m left with is a bunch of crumbs. I’m meting it out — this bit will go here, this bit I can blog. Too […]

Stories

The Walking Dead | Adam & Eve: Part 2

The woman he loved had her arm outstretched. She was offering him the fruit, the juice still dripping down her chin. The man watched himself take a bite.

Degrees of Separation

I watch the monster who is me pressing the blade into my brother’s flesh until his blood runs hot over my own flesh. I see my brother’s face, the shadow passing over it when he realizes what I’m about to do. I rewind and see him running towards me from across the field. He is just within arm’s reach. I can choose to embrace him, but instead I pull my knife from its sheath.

Hagar and Ishmael | Collateral Damage

Hagar had always been carried along by the current of other people’s lives. In Egypt she had been sold as a slave to the highest bidder. Abraham bought her and Sarah took her as her personal servant. They had brought her to Canaan, and then quite unexpectedly, her own body, her womb, had been called into service.

Sarah and Abraham | Deja Vu All Over Again: Part 1

He was not a coward. No, not in many things. But he had an irrational fear, a foreboding almost, that someone might kill him to get at Sarah.

Sarah and Abraham | Deja Vu All Over Again: Part 2

In the harem, Sarah waited. She waited to be called in to King Abimelech, or for someone — Abraham, God? — to come to her rescue. One day dragged into the next, and still nothing.  God had said she and Abraham would have a child next year.  Now Abraham had ruined everything.  But why hadn’t God stopped him?

A Fruit by Any Other Name | Adam & Eve: Part 1

The woman had never paid much attention to the serpent, not that she could recall. He had stayed on the periphery, his voice interjecting occasionally, but always under the radar.
