Tsunami Brookies
My new sister in law is one of my favorite people!! We made these yummy cookies for her and my brother’s wedding last year. They are super moist and so tasty. I have modified her recipe a bit to make a brookie (part brownie + part cookie!) Who wouldn’t like an extra bit of chocolatey goodness to their chocolate chip cookie? I also played with creating the magical swirl that you can see in the photo. Not all of my cookies...
Following the Light: Lessons From My Garden
Everyday I water my seedlings. They are in their tiniest forms, just peaking their sleepy heads out of their seeds.

In today’s world St. Patrick’s Day consists of leprechaun...
Modern Day Slavery
What is the greatest destruction of today’s generation? The tactics used by the adversary are not new. For endless amounts of time Satan, and his minions have used an unknown number of ploys to shackle God’s children to sin. Heavenly Father’s entire plan of happiness revolves around one fundamental key, agency. Satan will use every trick, deception, fear, longing and addiction in his arsenal to stave off the...
