Crockpot Chicken Parmesan

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Some days, you know that you’re just not going to have time for something like traditional gluten free baked chicken Parmesan. On those days, I made a cheater version in the slow cooker. Because I use the “dump” method for this, there isn’t a set recipe for it. I like to make extra, so we can make sandwiches the next day (or later in the week). Slow Cooker Chicken Parmesan Recipe Ingredients: 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 2 jars of marinara sauce seasoning (I generally use garlic, pepper, salt, oregano, parsley, basil.) shredded Parmesan cheese Directions: Place chicken breasts in…

The Old Rugged Cross

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

The Old Rugged Cross by George Bennard (1873-1958) On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, the emblem of suffering and shame; and I love that old cross where the dearest and best for a world of lost sinners was slain. So I’ll cherish the old rugged cross, till my trophies at last I lay down; I will cling to the old rugged cross, and exchange it some day for a crown. O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world, has a wondrous attraction for me; for the dear Lamb of God left his glory above…

What is Real Learning?

Posted in Homeschooling

When I saw this quote, I knew that I needed to design a graphic/poster with it. It’s so true. “I imagine a school system that recognizes learning is natural, that a love of learning is normal, and that real learning is passionate learning. A school curriculum that values questions above answers… creativity above fact regurgitation… individuality above conformity.. and excellence above standardized performance….. And we must reject all notions of ‘reform’ that serve up more of the same: more testing, more ‘standards’, more uniformity, more conformity, more bureaucracy.” ~Tom Peters~ This is one of the reasons that we homeschool. We…

Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

These large flourless peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are easy to make as the ingredient list is short. Kids will have fun helping make these naturally gluten free cookies. Plus, there is something fun about having giant cookies. This recipe makes roughly 18 large cookies. You can use m&ms if you want to add more playfulness and color to the cookies. For adults, add in some chopped nuts and chocolate chunks instead of just using chocolate chips. If you use natural peanut butter, you may find that you need to add a little extra oil like coconut oil. I like to…

His Eye is on the Sparrow

Posted in Christian Life, Family, and Photography

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. ~Matthew 10:29-31~ I was reminded of these verses as I looked out on the birds in our yard today. I stepped back in time to when I was younger and we sang this song in church… His Eye Is on the Sparrow by Civilla D. Martin (1905) Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,…
