  • Ridin’ da Bike

    Ridin’ da Bike

    As the weather has been steadily improving, the whole community has been waking up. It used to be that Jess and I could run for miles and not see another person walking, let alone running. Now the fair-weather, winter-afflicted souls our out about creating the hustle and bustle that make Bozeman so enjoyable in the…

  • Peanut Butter Cookies (to die for!)

    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…

  • Someone’s got a new bicycle!

    Someone’s got a new bicycle!

    As many of you know, Jess had her 25th birthday this last week. An early birthday gift came in the form of a new road bike that we had been saving up for. We went to Owenhouse to pick up the Giant Avail 2 after I arrived home from working in Helena on Tuesday. We…

  • Coconut Macaroons

    Coconut Macaroons

    I am going to start finding/baking several gluten/dairy free recipes. We started the “Truth Project” with a group from our church and there is a girl that can’t have either. She told me not to worry about finding recipes she can eat, but I am determined, at least most of the time. Someone suggested I…

  • Gas Buydown

    Gas Buydown

    Saturday, Jess and I had the chance to go and serve with Venture Church at Bozeman’s first ever “Gas Buy-down.” For those of you who don’t know what that is, a gas buy-down is where a sponsoring organization comes in to a gas station to reduce the price of fuel by a certain amount, in…

  • GoPro!

    GoPro!

    REI dividend….check! 20% off coupon….check! Desire to own a POV (point of view) camera….check! Well I think you can guess what I just purchased. Last Friday, I picked up a GoPro HD2 at REI and played with it a little bit over the weekend. I decided I needed to do something with it so I…

  • A Stroll Up in the Mountains

    A Stroll Up in the Mountains

    After an amazing!! Sunday morning at Venture Church (Brent will eventually get to blogging about this), we headed up to the mountains to enjoy God’s wonderful creation. We enjoyed a nice stroll along the roadside as the snow covered the ground around the reservoir. We did not feel like trekking around in a pile of melting snow…

  • Chicken Adobo

    Chicken Adobo

    Several years back, we started these “Around the World” food themed dinner parties with a group of friends. They all moved away, so they had ended. Other the last year a few of the couples moved back! We decided to start up the dinner parties again. Each time we would pick a new ethnic food.…

  • Guacamole & Bacon Grilled Cheese

    Guacamole & Bacon Grilled Cheese

    I saw a picture of this sandwich and just had to make it. It sounded amazing!! Not too difficult either since it is grilled cheese. Take your favorite guacamole (I opted for homemade!), fry some crispy bacon, your favorite bread, and some cheddar cheese! You know what to do with the rest! Mighty tasty! Only…

  • Honey Walnut Shrimp

    Honey Walnut Shrimp

    This month has turned into food blogging month! I just cannot help myself! I have been planning two – three meals a week that are new. There are so many great recipes out there. I am constantly finding ones that I want to make, so I am planning them out now. It has been a…

  • Nifty Fifty

    Nifty Fifty

    I recently picked up a new lens so I took it along with me during a few activities this last week. The new addition to our lens arsenal is the Nikon 50mm 1.8G, a fifty millimeter prime lens with a f1.8 aperture. This will hopefully alleviate a boiling point in the Powell household, who gets…

  • Avocado Fries w/ Spicy Garlic Dip

    Avocado Fries w/ Spicy Garlic Dip

    No I did not end up making these last Friday evening. I did get around to it though! This is going on my list for an appetizer for parties. Now to have a party…or the time for a party. Acovado Fries: 1 avocado (not soft) 1/2 cup breadcrumbs 2-3 tbsp flour 1 egg salt &…
