My kitchen has seen a lot of me today. I needed to make refried beans. I make a big, fresh batch in the crock pot and freeze batches of them. They are amazing. That was just the beginning of kitchen time....
-peeled, chopped, cooked up large batch of cinnamon apples from a bag of apples I was given (I have scored huge from people giving me windfall apples this year--I have stocked my freezer with preserved chopped apples and applesauce)
-homemade baked potato soup (time-intensive, but super yummy)
-grated 4 pounds of cheese (good sale on blocks of cheese at King Soopers for any of my local friends)
-grated soap for my laundry detergent (technically not food, but still kitchen time)
-homemade gluten-free granola (love this stuff)
I also washed a new batch of grapes and prepared fresh green beans to steam for dinner.
Honestly? I spent hours and hours in the kitchen and got really, really tired and really, really humbled by the bounty of food all at the same time. I get really tired of the limitations on what I can eat because of my allergies, but I realized today that God has still allowed me some amazingly tasty food. I just have to work a little harder to get it. So, I'm tired and thankful.

A place I created to collect and share some of my journey as a child of God and a follower of Jesus Christ mostly because I don't get to share nearly enough of it on a daily basis with those I love.
There, peeping above the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for awhile. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up and out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing; there was light and high beauty forever beyond its reach. J.R.R. Tolkien

- I am on the journey of life which right now involves raising 2 boys, being married to my highschool sweetheart (who is still a sweetheart), homeschooling, and teaching whoever will listen. Mostly I am learning what it means to be loved by Jesus and learning to love him back.
