Homemade Chips

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #165 Every now and then, it’s fun to make your own potato chips. I’m fortunate to have an electric food slicer which makes slicing the potatoes rather quick, but you can also slice them on a grater or mandolin.  I like to drop them in our deep fryer, but you can also bake them in the oven, if preferred. Last night, I served them with some homemade turkey burgers.  I put cheese in Munchkin’s burger.  For D and I, I put cheese and green chile pepper sauce.  Yum! You can also make your own veggies chips by…

Review: Already Compromised

Posted in Reviews

Every year, thousands of kids head off to college.  Some are Christian kids.  Others are not.  What do they have in common?  They will all be attending colleges/universities/tech schools where their professors will play a key role in helping shape their worldview. As Christians, we want our kids to grow in their faith, not walk away from it.  We try to nurture their faith in and love of God.  We teach them and give them guidance.  We look at different schools with our kids to see how the schools line up with their aspirations for the future.  We may take…

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Fudge Brownies

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #164 We received some gluten free mixes from Betty Crocker as part of the Gluten Freely Bakers Challenge that a wrote about last month, so I decided to doctor up one of the brownie mixes.  With the gluten free Betty Crocker brownie mix, you need to up the butter to between 3/4 cup and 1 cup if you want a nice fudgie brownie.  (The recipe on the box calls for 1/2 cup.)  Other than that, make the mix as directed and put in greased pan. Next, plop little dollops of peanut butter all over the brownie mixture. …

The Fragrance of Christ

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

Project 365 – #163 But thanks be to God, who in Christ always leads us in triumphal procession, and through us spreads the fragrance of the knowledge of him everywhere. For we are the aroma of Christ to God among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing, to one a fragrance from death to death, to the other a fragrance from life to life. Who is sufficient for these things? For we are not, like so many, peddlers of God’s word, but as men of sincerity, as commissioned by God, in the sight of God we…

Tasty Chicken Fajitas

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #162 I love the aroma of peppers and onions cooking in a cast iron skillet.  Add in the sizzle of perfectly seasoned chicken breast…  Soon I hear a call from the living room, “Something smells really good!”  Mmm… While I love the ease of my confetti fajitas done in either the oven or crockpot, nothing can really beat fajitas cooked in a cast iron skillet.  The flavor is completely different. Start with some freshly diced peppers and onions.  I like to use multiple colors of peppers just because it looks nice.  I happened to have both yellow…
