Date night at the Chris Tomlin concert.

May 3, 2013 4 Comments

I like all kinds of music.  If the tune is catchy… if it’s got a good beat and you can dance to it… if it makes you feel something… chances are that I like it.  One of the artists I particularly like is Chris Tomlin, a Christian singer whose songs are often covered by our […]

Simple Mother’s Day Brunch invitations using paper napkins instead of expensive scrapbook or specialty papers.

The easiest grilled peppers. Ever.

April 24, 2013 Leave a Comment

I love, love, love grilled peppers.  They are so delicious and versatile!  I eat them on burgers and in sandwiches.  I dice up the strips of the grilled peppers and put them in sauces over pasta or eat them with my eggs and avocado in the morning. And when I see they’re on sale, I […]

Refrigerated crescent roll dough makes a great sandwich. We call it The Circle Sandwich and it is one of my family’s favorite meals. (Shhh. Don’t tell them, but it’s a great way to use up leftovers.)
