Inspiration.

I am so incredibly inspired sometimes by my Christian friends.

I feel very alone and unwanted and just like the ugly duckling that no one wants anything to do with and then the sudden out of the blue I receive a package in the mail (for me and Drew) from a very special friend, Sean.
Or sometimes its in blogs like my friend Melissa posted the other day. When I just feel like I have a few kindred spirits most of which are homeschooled and have a simplistic approach in the life (Here is a link to her blog).

God is so good! I get discouraged by how far away they live, but then I remember we will be together for all eternity in heaven! Pretty amazing, huh?!

Just a thought,

You might not know how important you are, but I guarantee you that your light so shines. Thank you for being inspiration to me!

Okay so the new thing we've decided to do recently at West Sparta COC is to make homemade communion bread. Yay!! I shared my recipe with the ladies here, so I thought I'd share my special recipe with ya'll.

3 cups of flour (all-purpose)
1/2 cup of Crisco
1/2 cup of ice water

Mix together flour and Crisco. Add ice water slowly to the mix, I use my hands to mix it up.
After mixing roll the dough out on to a floured cutting board and cut with a cookie cutter (I use large tumbler glasses). score with a knife or my gran used a meat tenderizer.

Bake at 400 degrees in a preheated oven for 18 min. and VOILA!!

I just eat for a snack too, it's pretty yummy!! <3

Enjoy!

Nutella Hot Chocolate

by LAURA on DEC, 13, 2010 in BEVERAGES, HOLIDAY

This week is going to be recipes that all would be perfect for breakfast on Christmas morning.  I always enjoy a yummy hot drink and Christmas morning.  Last year I shared a delicious hot cocoa recipe and ideas for a hot cocoa bar.  This year I found a great twist on the normal hot chocolate, it’s hot chocolate made with nutella.  Let me just say that it is OHHHHHHHHH SOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOD.  I adapted it from a recipe I found through Tastespotting at Babble.  This hot chocolate is so rich and creamy with that great chocolate/hazelnutflavor from the nutella.  This is my new addiction.

Be sure to enter the giveaway I have starting today on my giveaway page.  It will help some one out during this busy holiday time.

• 4 cups whole milk
• 1/2 cup Nutella
• mini marshmallows or whipped cream

In a medium sauce pan over medium-low heat, whisk together milk and Nutella until the Nutella is melted and milk gets nice and warm. Serve in mugs and top with marshmallows or whipped cream. Makes 4 servings.

This can be made ahead of time, cooled, and stored in the fridge.  Reheated on the stove or microwave in individual mugs.  If microwaving, reheat each cup for about 1 minute.
