Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

We finally found some delicious, well-priced strawberries at the store which means it’s time for the first strawberry shortcake of the season. This year, I decided that I would sprinkle vanilla coconut sugar on the strawberries instead of regular sugar. We all enjoyed that extra punch of flavor the vanilla sugar added to the strawberries. While whipped cream in a spray can may be easier, the truth is that nothing tastes as good as freshly made whipped cream made from heavy whipping cream. The shortcakes were moist and tasted great even when we ran out of strawberries. Gluten Free Strawberry…

2012 MCAS Yuma Air Show

Posted in Military Life, and Photography

The skies were clouded over on Saturday morning which is not normal for our area. The forecast called for rain in the afternoon – another rare occurrence here. Normally, this wouldn’t be anything to be concerned about, but today was the day for the air show. I hoped that the cloud cover would not cause any issues for the air show attendees. Once Munchkin and I were up and about, we walked over to the air show. Daddy was already over there as he had driven over earlier, so I gave him a call once we arrived. We met up near the entrance…

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Bars

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Munchkin and D love Reese’s peanut butter cups, and their favorite kinds are the specialty ones at the holidays as there is more peanut butter in those. Yesterday, I got to thinking about some peanut butter bars that my mom use to make. I decided to change them up a little as the original bars are not gluten free due to the recipe calling for graham cracker crumbs. The result was absolutely delicious. Gluten Free Peanut Butter Bars Recipe Ingredients: 2 cups almond flour 1 cup butter (I used salted as I wanted some of that saltiness) 1 cup peanut…

Our Crazy Military Life: Another Change

Posted in Family, Military Life, and Photography

Life as a military family is never dull. Nope… It’s always filled with interesting twists and turns that keep you on your toes. When we learned that there was the possibility that we’d be receiving orders to Okinawa, Japan, our family groaned as this was not in our plans. There was still the chance that we’d be sent somewhere else, so we just let things be. Then, we found out that we were indeed receiving orders there, so my mindset completely changed. It appeared that our plans were not the Lord’s plans. I had to embrace this new reality and…

The Legend of the Sand Dollar

Posted in Christian Life, and Photography

The Legend of the Sand Dollar There’s a pretty little legend That I would like to tell Of the birth and death of Jesus Found in this lowly shell If you examine closely, You’ll see that you find here Four nail holes and a fifth one Made by a Roman’s Spear. On one side the Easter Lily, Its center is the star That appeared unto the wisemen And led them from afar. The Christmas poinsettia Etched on the other side Reminds us of His birthday Our Happy Christmastide. Now break the center open And here you will release The five…
