Say Shar-coo-tree. Now don’t you feel French?
C, naturally, is for charcuterie. Don’t be disturbed if you can’t pronounce it, much less know what it is. The French pronunciation is shar-coo-tree, and well, sometimes it pays to sound French. But even if you’re just Texan like me and say this with all four syllables and lots of long r’s, it’s still the…

So many B’s, but let’s do Brunch.
The kitchen/cooking world is filled with all things B. Baking and broiling and breakfast. Broccoli, banana and burnt. You can enjoy bisque, borscht, and Bordeaux, but nothing says fun more than brunch. I think you’ll agree, just the idea of brunch conjures up a picture of tasty food and a relaxed time with friends. Blessedly…

Fun is Not a Four Letter Word
At a time in our history which seems to reek of contention, whether you lean right or left, mask or no mask, or how you turn your toilet paper roll, I think we can all agree that 2020 was pretty darn hard. Perhaps we could at least join hands in accord on that one point?…

It’s The Ending That Counts
So the next generation would know, and all the generations to come—Know the truth and tell the stories, so their children can trust in God Psalm 78:6-7 Did you know there’s a book named after you? It’s kind of a hoot, isn’t it, to imagine the pastor starting his sermon with “Please turn to the book…

Chili Lime Pork with Corn Salad
Sometimes making dinner is hard. I’ll just throw this out there – sometimes I decide what to cook based almost solely on the number of dishes/utensils/cutting boards/etc that I will have to clean up when it’s all over. There. I said it. Never mind what my people want to eat, sometimes my tired self just…

On Waiting
Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. James 4:14 We spend a lot of time waiting. Waiting on babies to be born and Amazon packages to be delivered. We wait for lab results and we wait in line at…

Happy Food
I’ll say up front that I was never a huge fan of cherry flavor. Perhaps it’s because I never tasted fresh cherries growing up, and for most of my life I associated the taste with the cloying smell of cherry flavored Kool-Aid that seemed to be the drink of choice at every kid birthday party,…

Chop Chop Slaw
Do you ever need something green super fast to round out a decidedly not-green meal? This slaw requires no other skills but chopping and a keen eye for what to pull out of the fridge to go in it! We were having a quick lunch of Trader Joe’s Potstickers (oh my goodness, so good) and…

Rustic (Ha!) Apple Tart
Have you ever just needed a dessert? Really needed it? Me too. And yesterday I needed this Rustic Apple Tart. You do know, don’t you, that anytime your desserts come out looking less than perfect, you just put “Rustic” in front of the name and you’re covered. Just like when you run to the store…

The Wild Bunch
God made us for community. In Galatians 6:2 we are encouraged to “carry each other’s burdens”, and Romans 12:15 tells us to “rejoice and mourn with each other”. We are to “meet each other’s practical needs” (Romans 12:13 and Hebrews 13:16) and in Acts 2:42-47 the writer, Luke, urges us to “spur one another on…
