BBQ Season

Yesterday was a very eventful day. Mom and I made some delicious foods for the bbq we had. We made these delicious Potato Bombs. We got the idea from these old guys off of youtube. Which you pretty much take an apple corer and take the cores out of as many potatoes as you'd like. Then you stuff them center with what ever you like.  The guys on the video put pancetta (it is probably spelt differently) and also stuff them priscutto, spam, hamburger, sausage.

With each meat they mixed it together with cheese, onions, garlic and herbs and spices. Then mixed them around and then just stuffed the potatoes with the mix. Then cut the cores in half and put them into to potato to keep the stuffing from coming out. Then wrap a piece of bacon around each potato and then wrap in tin foil.

Child Like Faith

Since my book has been published I have been thinking of nothing else, but ways to get the word out about my book. I been focusing on my book way too much and trying to be super mom when I can't. I been letting house work go and putting my baby off onto my husband trying to be on all the social net working sites that are out there to get the word out.

I've been googling and searching out how to get my books into stores and who to contact at stores. When I should be actually paying attention to my family. I forgot how might of a God I serve and he created everything in this world. From trees (which my books are made out of) to houses, the earth well just EVERYTHING. I forgot to put my trust and faith in him like I use to do about anything.

So I leave my book into your hands God. I will do what ever I can do (time permitting), but I am no longer going to take away precious time from my daughter and husband no more. The Lord knows what needs to be done and will allow the right people to stumble upon my book and love it and share. And through word of mouth it will spread like wildfire.

I have not been being the best mom and wife lately. I been thinking of me, which is selfish. My daughter needs me and so does my husband. So no more putting my daughter in the play pen watching tv or movies all day. It is summer time and beautiful out. I am going to start enjoying this beautiful weather that God has given us to enjoy.

I just want to say that if it were not for this dinner outing that I went out to with my mom and the ladies of the church to Appleby's and listening to something the pastors wife had said about God being in control and trusting him. It would not of hit me like it did. Even though she was only speaking about something personal in her life about having to let God deal with everything and allow everything to go the way it should on his time. It made me realize that I have not been putting my trust in him and that is something I need to start doing like I did as a child.

So from now on I am going to start to have Child Like Faith and believe God will take care of me.

Solar Eclipse

So apparently there will be a solar eclipse later on this evening. I was reading an article that was written on behalf of a scientist. He is saying it looks bad and that there is a possibility of a power outage. I hope not. Last time this has happened it actually affected Quebec back in 1989.  To be honest it makes me nervous, especially with what has been going on the world for the last year or more. Floods and earth quakes in diverse places that usually do not get such things. I hope that the power does not go out. And if it does I hope not for long.

I was hoping to see this solar eclipse, but I guess from what my father was saying you can not look directly at it, or else you can ruin the retina of the eye. Only way of looking at it is if you make this look out thing from a card board box with a couple of holes.  I am not going to bother trying, since I do not have a box to do it with.

I guess I should get going for now, my poor husband is in the backyard cleaning it up so we can enjoy going out there now that the snow is gone for good and besides, I want to enjoy the sun today, before the eclipse arrives. It is apparently arriving at 6:00pm Edmonton time and it is noon hour here now. So I best be on my way to lend a helping hand.

On a total quick subject before I head out. Just wanted to mention about my book. I will be converting my book into various formats to be bought in e-book style and when it is actually done I will be sure to post a link for all you e-book lovers.

Butter

I decided that I would try something new when it comes to butter. I think the price of organic is ridiculous and heavens knows what they really put into non organic butter. So I came across a post on Pinterest on how to make your own homemade butter. This is probably not new to everyone, but new to me. All you got to do is take a mason jar and fill it half way with heavy whipping cream and just shake. Keep shaking until it thickens, then let it sit for at least 5 minutes, then shake again until liquid forms, then pour liquid out, and shake again, and if there is more liquid pour out and shake one more time. Then there you have it BUTTER!!

Mother's Day

Today is mother's day. I enjoyed myself a lot. I did not think I was going to get up at 6:30 am like discussed the night before, but I did it. Jonathan took me to Cora's, but the best part really was not the food. It was having my 15 month old daughter just eating up all the water melon and strawberries.
I am not going to make a long post, but mainly wanted to share my excitement about my little girl and her love for healthy foods. I am so glad that she has good taste buds. I guess when she is older I will not have to argue with her to eat her fruits and veggies. To all the Mother's out there. May you have a blessed day and enjoy every minute that goes by.
