I made pico de gallo for the first time last night, following Jessica Sherrill's <a href="http://www.wearethesherrills.com/2013/02/pico-de-gallo-recipes.html#" target="_blank">recipe</a>. It was simply delightful! I'm on a completely vegetarian diet right now, so I had it with zucchini slices, red bell pepper strips and guacamole, but I look forward to having it again some day with grilled chicken, or quesadillas, or enchiladas...I have a whole list of things to try it on. :) It.is.so.good.Abigailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14628151646845401831noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4007575565741841052.post-7379203989515745362013-03-15T09:25:00.000-07:002013-03-15T09:25:52.446-07:00psalm 86:11<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
6 tablespoons sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/4 cup cocoa</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Well, I am once again on a wheat-free, dairy-free diet. When I first thought about it, I wanted to groan... cheese is one of my all-time favorite foods, and bread is just too good! Right now I am just refusing to think about dairy products and thankfully I like experimenting in the kitchen. I believe the Lord will help me get past missing the things I shouldn't be eating and enjoy making new recipes. I adapted the muffin recipe from the back of the oat bran cereal box for breakfast this morning and they turned out really good!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u>Oat Bran Pear Sauce Muffins</u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/2 cup brown sugar</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 1/2 cups Hodgson Mill oat bran cereal</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 1/2 cups rye flour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/4 teaspoon salt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2 eggs</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1 cup pear sauce, chilled</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1/4 cup oil</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line 15 muffin cups with paper liners or grease muffin cups. Blend together dry ingredients. Lightly beat the eggs and add them to the dry ingredients along with pear sauce and oil. Mix until well blended. Spoon better into muffin cups. Let stand 10 minutes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bake 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yield: 15 muffins</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
*Alterations for personal preference:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You can use regular unbleached white flour for these muffins if you'd rather.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Applesauce is just as good as pear! I used homemade pear sauce because that's what we had on hand.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">A very dear friend shared this on her blog this morning. It encouraged me so much that I decided to share it here in hopes that it may be a blessing to one of you as well!</span></div>

"This Thing is From Me"</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
..1 Kings 12:24</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px;">
"The disappointments of life are in reality only the decrees of love. I have a message for thee today, My child. I will whisper it softly in thine ear, in order that the stormclouds which appear may be gilt with glory, and that the thorns on which thou mayest have to walk be blunted. The message is but short - a tiny sentence - but allow it to sink into the depths of thine heart, and be to thee as a cushion on which to rest thy weary head: 'This thing is from Me.'</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px;">
Hast thou never thought that all which concerns thee, concerns Me also? He that toucheth thee toucheth the apple of Mine eye (Zech. 2:8). Thou hast been precious in Mine eyes, that is why I take a special interest in thin upbringing. When temptation assails thee, and the 'enemy comes in like a flood' I would wish thee to know that 'This thing is from Me.' I am the God of circumstances. Thou hast not been placed where thou art by chance, but because it is the place I have chosen for thee. Didst thou not ask to become humble? Behold, I have placed thee in the very place where this lesson is to be learned. It is by thy surroundings and thy companions that the working of My will is to come about.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px;">
Hast thou money difficulties? Is it hard to keep within thine income? 'This thing is from Me.' For I am He that possesseth all things. I wish thee to draw everything from Me, and that thou depend entirely upon Me. My riches are illimitable (Phil. 4:19). Put My promise to the proof, so that it may not be said of thee, 'Yet in this thing ye did not believe the Lord thy God.' </div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px;">
Art thou passing through a night of affliction? 'This thing is from Me.' I am the Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief (Isa. 53:3). I have left thee without human support that in turning to Me thou mightest obtain eternal consolation (2 Thess. 2:16, 17).</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px;">
Has some friend disappointed thee? One to whom thou hast opened thine heart? 'This thing is from me.' I have allowed this disappointment that thou mightest learn that the best Friend is Jesus. I long to be thy Confidant.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px;">
Has someone said false things of thee? Leave that, and come closer to Me, under My wings, away from the place of wordy dispute, for I will bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday (Psa. 37;6). Have thy plans been all upset? Art thou crushed and weary? 'This thing is from Me.' Hast thou made plans and then coming, asked Me to bless them? I wish to make thy plans for thee. I will take the responsibility, for it is too heavy for thee, thou couldst not perform it alone (Exo. 18:18). Thou art <i>but and instrument and not an agent.</i></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px;">
Hast thou desired fervently to do some great work for Me? Instead of that thou hast been laid on one side, on a bed of sickness and suffering. 'This thing is from Me.' I was unable to attract thine attention while thou wast so active. I wish to teach thee some of My deep lessons. It is only those who have learned to wait patiently who can serve Me. My greatest workers are sometimes those who are laid aside from active service in order that they may learn to wield the weapon of prayer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; margin: 0px;">
Art thou suddenly called to occupy a difficult position full of responsibilities? Go forward, counting on Me. I am giving thee the position full of difficulties for the reason that Jehovah thy God will bless thee in all thy works and in all the business of thy hands (Deut. 15:18). This day I place in thy hand a pot of holy oil. Draw from it freely, My child, that all the circumstances arising along the pathway, each word that gives thee pain, each manifestation of thy feebleness, may be anointed with this oil. <i>Remember </i>that interruptions are divine instructions. The sting will go in the measure in which thou seest <i>Me</i> in all things. Therefore set your heart unto all the works that I testify among you this day. For it is your life (Deut. 32:46, 47)."</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Be still, my soul; The Lord is on thy side;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain; </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Leave to thy God to order and provide;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In every change He faithful will remain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be still, my soul; thy best, thy heavenly Friend,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thru thorny ways leads to a joyful end.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be still, my soul; thy God doth undertake</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To guide the future as He has the past;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be still, my soul; the waves and winds still know</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be still, my soul; when dearest friends depart,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And all is darkened in the vale of tears,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be still, my soul; thy Jesus can repay</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From His own fulness all He takes away.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be still, my soul; the hour is hastening on</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When we shall be forever with the Lord,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When disappointment, grief and fear are gone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be still, my soul; when change and tears are past,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.</div>

The Lord spoke to me through this hymn in church this morning. I must, I must be still. If I only look, I can see God's hand in everything in and around my life. He is a good and glorious God! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Our pastor is preaching through Isaiah and came to chapter 48 today. One thing he really brought out was that everything is for His glory. He says over and over in dealing with the Israelites "For my name's sake", "For mine own sake". I pray that the Lord will open our eyes to His glory and that in everything we do, we will "do all to the glory of God". (1 Cor. 10:31)</div>

For four days I baked, making cinnamon rolls, mini leaf- and acorn-shaped apple pies, pumpkin pies in little jars, peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, nutter butter acorns, pumpkin bread, s'mores on a stick, and rice crispy treat pops! I had a lot fun preparing everything, and then on Saturday, getting to set it all up. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm really wanting to plant some things in a Fall garden this year. I know it's too late for most things, but I haven't had time to prepare the ground until now, but I have to wait until it dries out some.</div>

I bake all year round, but it's especially nice in the cooler weather. I'm making cinnamon rolls this week for the Fiesta de al Paloma our town has every October. I'm planning to have a booth there this year, and hopefully I have some pictures to share with you afterwards!</div>
