Breadsticks – A joint effort!
I decided to make some homemade Olive Garden style breadsticks for a get together dinner this week. I found conflicting recipes and decided to take them my own way. Unfortunately, I really did not have the time to make these. Luckily I have an amazing husband to loves to help the wife out especially when she commits…

Salty Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
I am slowly making it through a huge and continually growing list of recipes that I want to try. This week, I think I will be attempting 4 of them: 2 desserts, 1 bread, & 1 entree. We will see how they all end up turning out! I love salty caramels, so when I came across this cookie recipe…

Spring in Montana
After getting back from summer in Tennessee, Brent and I decided to take some time to enjoy a nice spring afternoon in Montana. With the temperatures nearing 50 degrees, we spent the afternoon tossing around the frisbee and then enjoyed a nice walk together. We decided to pull out the cameras to capture Montana coming…

Coconut Bread
Several weekends ago we were at our friend’s house. My friend had made this Coconut Bread that was to die for! Her husband really enjoys it and he was gracious enough to let us try it. I loved it and couldn’t stop myself from eating it. I got the recipe from her and here it…

Nashville Adventures
Our time in Nashville was spent mostly loving on our two year old niece. We had a great time spending it with her, Brent’s brother and his wife. We love the family that God has given us. We ate out at some amazing restaurants, had some tasty ice cream, and enjoyed seeing the Nashville scenery. On Sunday,…

Country Music Marathon 2012
Last Saturday I was able to partake in the Nashville Country Music Marathon to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Another 26.2 miles down for me! I love that my sport benefits organizations. I get to do what I love and help someone in the process. After a great night’s rest, I woke up bright…

With months of training pounding my feet down on the pavement, it is finally race week. I am just days away from my second marathon. I am excited to try this again as I have done several longer runs than the last training. I feel like my body is a bit more ready due to…

Peanut Butter Cookies (to die for!)
Last year I found this amazing Peanut Butter Cookie recipe. I like it because it uses less peanut butter than most recipes. Peanut butter can tend to be a little bit overwhelming. Not that this is a healthy recipe by any means. There is a lot of butter and a lot of sugar. That is…

“Gospel Centered Discipleship”
I recently picked up the book “Gospel Centered Discipleship” by Jonathan K. Dodson. It was a book that Brent has actually been wanting to read for a while. It helps that the foreword is by Matt Chandler. Matt Chandler is a pastor at The Village Church down in Texas. We both have spent time recently…

3rd Marathon??
I think so! Last night I got an email with my special link to register for the Nike Women’s Marathon (NWM) down in San Francisco in October. If you remember a little while back, I was in a dilema of whether or not I should run this race. With a good friend already living down there and…
