Welcome to the weekend, my mates! Oh, what a GLORIOUS week of climate we’ve got had in Ohio. Temps have been within the 70s for a number of days now! I’ve completed my greatest to take in as a lot of it as potential with lengthy walks each afternoon.
I’ve been informed this can be a false spring and the temps are about to fall once more. So, it’s unlikely to be this heat once more for some time. However as lengthy the solar continues to shine, I’ll be grinning up at it and hoping the vegetation all survive the approaching chilly days.
IN THE KITCHEN THIS WEEK: Loaded with our favourite Mexican flavors; this Southwest Chicken Soup is barely spicy with chunks of tomatoes, corn, black beans, and tender rooster. I prefer to high my bowl with a handful of shredded cheese and a few tortilla strips.
Final night time’s dinner was this totally loaded Chicken Potato Broccoli Casserole. It begins with fluffy mashed potatoes which can be blended with tender bites of broccoli and rooster, then generously sprinkled with bacon and cheese. The result’s a completely irresistible dinner.
Oven-roasted Cabbage with Balsamic Glaze is nothing in need of a loopy obsession. Strive it and you’ll perceive. I’ll be making it once more subsequent week.
This Spinach Orzo Salad is stuffed with cranberries, creamy goat cheese, tender pasta, and loads of contemporary spinach tossed in a tangy candy dressing. The salad will be served instantly or stored within the fridge for 2-3 days – making this an superior make-ahead meal for lunch or dinner.
My son requested chili (once more), so I’ll be making an enormous batch of the easiest and tastiest chili for straightforward dinners this coming week because the climate cools off once more.
Skip the normal fried donuts and make these Apple Cider Donut Muffins! With a sugary coating harking back to their namesake, these muffins provide a pleasant twist on a beloved basic.
Andes Mint Cookies are a soft-baked chocolate cookie loaded with Andes Mint items and unfold with an additional layer of mint goodness. They’re superb straight from the oven.
My FAVORITE THINGS this week are these bath salts. The eucalyptus and spearmint perfume is gorgeous and the salts are the right approach to calm down on the finish of the day. The muscle and rigidity aid is like nothing else I’ve tried. Together with this foaming bath, it looks like a spa expertise each night time.
What I’m LISTENING to: My children found some old-school DC Talk and it’s been going robust in my playlist this week. For the month of Lent this yr, I selected to surrender any media that isn’t faith-based, so it’s been enjoyable to re-discover some basic Christian rock once I need a break from basic reward and worship music.
What I’m READING: The Cost of Discipleship by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. This was not a simple learn, but I discovered myself drawn again to it every time I set it down. I completed the guide convicted, grateful, and challenged.
“Expensive grace is the gospel which have to be sought repeatedly, the reward which have to be requested for, the door at which a person should knock. Such grace is expensive as a result of it calls us to observe, and it’s grace as a result of it calls us to observe Jesus Christ. It’s pricey as a result of it prices a person his life, and it’s grace as a result of it provides a person the one true life. It’s pricey as a result of it condemns sin, and style as a result of it justifies the sinner. Above all, it’s pricey as a result of it price God the lifetime of his Son: “ye had been purchased at a value,” and what has price God a lot can’t be low-cost for us. Above all, it’s grace as a result of God didn’t reckon his Son too pricey a value to pay for our life, however delivered him up for us. Expensive grace is the Incarnation of God.”
“Christian love attracts no distinction between one enemy and one other, besides that the extra bitter our enemy’s hatred, the better his want of affection. Be his enmity political or non secular, he has nothing to anticipate from a follower of Jesus however unqualified love. In such love there may be not inside discord between the personal individual and official capability. In each we’re disciples of Christ, or we’re not Christians in any respect.” – Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“Subsequently, since we’ve got been justified by religion, we’ve got peace with God by our Lord Jesus Christ. Via him we’ve got additionally obtained entry by religion into this grace through which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” Romans 5:1-2 ESV
