{It's A New Beginning Y'all}

  It's a tad late to wish a  Happy New Year but I sure hope that it's kicked off good for everyone. Ours kicked off with being so THANKFUL for what God has done and is doing. As I told my family as we were reminiscing over 2024, "There is a lot of 2024 I DO NOT WANT A RE-DO but the Lord has surely taught me so very much. I am truly thankful for each breath, each day, family and close friends. We had our three youngest grands for New Years Eve. We had a great time and the girls enjoyed a little fishing, bonfire with their great-grandfather and roasting marshmallows. Their great-grandfather will be 90 years old next month. As most of you know I do a monthly focus board and this makes my 3rd or 4th year. I've lost count. Only fitting that New Beginnings would be my focus for January. This has been so good for me as it sits on my kitchen counter so I can see it daily. Wonderful way to focus and quote God's Word daily.  I felt up to hosting a lunch and movie day with ...

{Chicken Alfredo with Spaghetti Squash Noodles}

Dear friends I have not forgotten about sharing my recipe with you for Chicken Alfredo and my new favorite, Spaghetti Squash Noodles .  You can pin this post if you want to try this recipe.  As most of you know this was our main course for our romantic dinner outside for two for Valentine's. You can see the post here if you missed it.  http://creationsbycindyphotography.blogspot.com/2017/02/romantic-dinner-for-two.html   So for starters I picked a few fresh herbs from my little herb garden, washed and I pat them dry with a paper towel . Then I just pick off what I think I might use.  I'm a fan of fresh herbs and I like variety in most anything I cook. So, I have picked parsley, oregano, and a little sage. You can use whatever spices you like. This is what I had so this is what I used. And I just used a few sprigs of each. I went ahead and mixed up my toppings. 1 1/2 cups of P anko bread crumbs 3 tablespoons of dried parley 1 1/2 teaspoons of...

{Sharing my birthday with you}

WOW , it seems that I just celebrated a birthday and now here I am celebrating another birthday! It's just crazy I tell ya! Time waits on NO ONE!  But praise the Lord for another day of life, right? God is good!  My three daughters carried me to Biscottis for brunch. You have your choice of what kind of meal you would like but we all chose brunch and it was so good. Of course as soon as we walked in the door these two little ones eyed the dessert case. They are well known for their luscious desserts. Their number one seller is their bread pudding with ice cream. I would have thought it would have been one of their many cakes. My daughter Melissa ordered the bread pudding and said it was the best she ever ate! Now when she picked their bread pudding over MINE I knew that meant I would have to step up my game on my bread pudding! LOL!  YUM ...my brunch was delicious. Some of the best cheese grits ever! My granddaugther Kyleigh helped me to eat them ...

{Romantic Dinner for Two}

Nothing like avoiding the hustle and bustle of the outside world and just enjoying a dinner for two at home outside with God's beauty for a special Valentine's dinner.      Nothing fancy or elaborate but a table for TWO is always romantic!  I started us out with a simple appetizer than my man loves... stuffed mushrooms . I went with a two-cheese and garlic stuffing and needless to say...I AM SO GLAD I DID NOT FIX ANYMORE THAN THIS! YUM!  Next came a simple salad made up romaine, carrots, celery, black olives and dressing. Awe, then the main course... Chicken Alfredo over spaghetti squash noodles . YES, I do want you to have my recipe...You will love me for it later!  And this bread in which my man loved.  Nothing like ending the meal with chocolate covered strawberries .   A nice ending to a romantic dinner was followed by a little outside fire ...  With candles burning.....
