A few months ago, the girls at church had a Dessert & Movie night. Special events like these give me ample opportunities to try out new recipes. Sometimes it works out and I end up with a wildly successful morsel, and sometimes it doesn’t, leaving me with a disaster.

Prepping for my Saturday Sabbath is a big deal. Not only am I preparing breakfast and finishing up chores, I have to make a meal that will serve as leftovers for lunch and dinner the next day — I’m not cooking on my day off! One of our favorite dishes that I pull [...]
Sabbath rest Saturdays have become a new tradition for me. One day a week, I have a “me” day. No chores get done. No work gets done. No cooking is done, either. I sleep in. Sometimes I even take a nap in the afternoon.
