a NEW taste Tuesday

snickerdoodles

Ah, it’s been a while since I’ve had time to spend in the kitchen; but I tried a NEW taste this last week:  Pumpkin Snickerdoodles.  It sounded like a delicious, and…fall-ish new twist on my favorite type of cookie.  They were VERY yummy!

Here’s where I found the recipe: Pumpkin Snickerdoodles

Have a great Tuesday!  Learn or Do, or Bake something NEW!

 

a NEW photo of my week and a short Sunday sermon

path

Happy Sunday! I thought this path that I photographed this week would pair nicely with this great talk, The Three Rs of Choices.

Here’s a sneak peek: “First, the right of choice; second, the responsibility of choice; and third, the results of choice”…but go read the rest of the talk if you have time, because its fabulous!

Have a great day! Do or learn something NEW!

NEW photos of my week and a short Sunday sermon

Happy Sunday!  You might recall a post back in June, went I mentioned we went for a hike hoping to find these wildflowers, but found snow instead.  Well, this is hike-take-two.  The meadows were filled with wildflowers and we even hiked further up to this lake:

For today’s short sermon, I’ll simply link to this really well-done video (HERE)  about how important family is and how one man found his grandfather’s army weapon after his funeral…and how important researching his grandfather’s life was to him.

Have a terrific day!  Do or learn something NEW!

a NEW food foto Friday

Happy Friday!

I decided it has been quite a while since I did any food photography…so:  Here’s our left-overs from last night.  Yeah, leaf-overs…thrilling! Right!?!? {I hope that’s not what the fortune from my cookie is referring to!}

Actually, this fried rice is left-overs of left-overs.  We had plain rice left-over from another meal, and since my body-building son moved out (along with his appetite) we seem to have oodles of food laying around!  I kind of, sort of used this recipe HERE…but with my own adaptations…(meaning I left out any ingredients that weren’t readily available and added ham :o)  But it was delicious!

We added “Ready-to-eat-‘Pop-’em-in-the-Microwave” egg rolls from Costco and Wha-la…dinner!

Maybe I’ll be in the mood to really cook one of these days.  But this sustained us until our next meal, so all’s good.

Have a great day!  Do or learn or cook something NEW!
