Zucchini Pasta Bake with a Roasted Red Pepper Sauce Moving is terrible and I hate it. For the first 22 years of my life, I lived in the same city, on the same block, in the same house. (You’ve heard this before.) I felt incredibly safe there. Then I move to California, and have moved FIVE times in the past five years. And now we’re moving again, but this time, back to the east coast. On Being Accountable: or, I Don't Believe in "The Final Judgment" I have written about accountability as my New Year's Resolution focus this month, but it struck me this week that I have not written about how I view accountability at the most basic, fundamental level - of how I understand the concept of being punished for our own sins and not for Adam's transgression. I hinted at it in my first post this month, but, with my cross-country move and limited time, I have not written my typical "topic intro post" this month. This is that post.

Peach Pie Oatmeal There are a thousand ways to dress up oatmeal, the list goes on forever. I’ve seen chocolate oatmeal, oatmeal with dried fruit, spiced oatmeal, etc, etc, etc. The thing that most attracts me when I’m looking for new and inventive ways to make oatmeal, is when something delicious we all know and love (such as a popular dessert), is adapted into a yummy way to start the day. That is why I took peach pie, and transformed it into a healthy breakfast. I spent some time online, looking at different peach pie recipes, and jotted down the most common ingredients, as well as the least common (in this case lemon juice.. which I did in fact add, although I was a bit skeptical about putting lemon juice in my oatmeal…).

I had all the quarter round trim for the floor cut, painted, ready to install but I couldn't do it. I knew I wouldn't be happy with it just as it was. It needed more character. I was debating between bead board and board and batten.
Baked Pasta with Roasted Peppers and Zucchini & Giveaway One of my raves about living in regional areas – especially a foodie haven like Orange - is the ease of getting cheap pub food. OMG, I didn’t declare that out loud did I? Forgive me if I sound like a total cheapie! But who doesn’t like cheap (and delicious) food? Okay, I sound like a total cheapie again.
Name of Christ: Chief Cornerstone This is definitely not a name that we use often when referring to Christ, but it is a GREAT name and extremely insightful. It refers to old masonry terms and when understood, … well, I just love it! A cornerstone is a foundation stone, or the first stone set in the ground. It is important since all other stones will be set in reference to this stone, determining the position and strength of the entire building. This name appears in various forms in the scriptures,
