“I believe that a godly home is a foretaste of heaven. Our homes, imperfect as they are, must be a haven from the chaos outside. They should be a reflection of our eternal home, where troubled souls find peace, weary hearts find rest, hungry bodies find refreshment, lonely pilgrims find communion, and wounded spirits find compassion.” ― Jani Ortlund
It must have been recipe week last hop because I read so many yummy sounding recipes my sweet tooth started to ache.
Thank you ladies!!! Here are a few of my favorites...
Deana of
Country Momma Cooks linked up some wonderful looking recipes. I am going to try her
savory bread pudding recipe this week and who doesn't love the idea of having a
BULK brownie mix? I could get in some BIG trouble over this recipe...
Then, Dolly of
Dolly Is Cooking shared the magnificent
Hummingbird Cake recipe! I was in love when I read the list of ingredients. This magical cake features a cream cheese frosting on the inside and bananas, pecans, crushed pineapple and cinnamon on the inside... It sounds heavenly, don't ya think?
And- Michele of
Simply Scaife Family shared her knowledge about the herb mint, great ideas for using mint in your cooking, and a refreshing and easy
mint tea recipe. Thank you Michele. I love and grow mint too.
Debbie of
Our Old Homestead shared an update on her fascinating
blender recipe soap. Seriously, I used to make my own soap, the hard way. I rendered my own tallow, added my preferred skin emolients and eventually lye and essential oils.The hard part was waiting for trace and waiting a month or so to use my prize. Our Old Homestead Debbie learned from Debbie of
Homespun Living a way to make soap in a blender that is so much faster, cleaner, and I think- safer too. If you're thinking about making soap, please read about this process. I was amazed.
I finished off my coffee and cookies reading and viewing beautiful images of plum thickets taken by Robyn of The RanchWife Chronicles. What a life? I swear. Please take a moment to link up and share what you have been working on this week.
I am intruged about the blender soap. Thanks for all of the ideas. Also I am so impressed by your garlic in the last post. Mine is not making very good progress.
