I'm back....

It has been a long time.  My life became quite hectic.  Different things...The Lord has been teaching me things.   One of the biggest things I can encourage you with now is that when times are tough and you can't see through the fog....just remember that God does see through the fog and He sees the big picture.  I see the big picture now (I didn't when going through the trial)...believe me....God is so good!

My Sara Rose and Eugene are still courting.  It is fun to watch them find out more about each other.  The other day she told me that she and Eugene "broke up." I would have been concerned....but she was smiling.  She said she discovered that he hates banana popsicles....that is a big one!  Eugene is going to spending some time with us in June.  Looking forward to seeing him (I KNOW Sara Rose is).

This past month my family was busy looking for a new house so experimental time in the kitchen was limited...no, it was non-existent!  So, today I will write about two recipes I hope to make soon this summer.  The first is a cool summer salad involving tortellini.  Yum!

Tortellini Salad
4 16 oz bags of cheese tortellini
1 pint cherry tomatoes
1 block of mozzarella cheese, cubed
1 large green pepper, chopped
1 large red pepper (not hot), chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
16 oz.Italian dressing

Boil the tortellini al dente'.  Rinse with cold water and let cool.  In a large bowl mix all ingredients.  Refrigerate 1 hour or more.  Enjoy!


Homestyle Cheesy Veggies
2 16 oz pkg frozen mixed veggies (I used broc/cauliflower)
1 can mushroom soup
8 oz Velveeta cheese
8 oz sliced water chestnuts, drained
salt and pepper to taste

Cook vegetables according to pkg directions; set aside.  Heat soup and cheese together until cheese melts.  Mix all ingredients together.  Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes.  Serves 10-12.

I am glad to be blogging again!
Thanks for stopping by....
