Rice Krispies Treat for One

If you know what Pinterest is, you know how incredible it is for MANY reasons! If you don't know what Pinterest is, or you're sceptical of another time-waster, social media website, I encourage you to go to www.pinterest.com and sign up for an account. I wouldn't necessarily consider myself to be a creative person. I definitely wouldn't call myself "crafty". However, Pinterest has changed all of that. Whether you like crafts, cooking, or just shopping, Pinterest will be something you will love!


I've had so much fun in the last month trying all kinds of new ideas in the kitchen. My poor family has had the pleasure of being the guinea pigs! However, tonight, my husband made a request. He wanted me to make rice krispies treats. I have these random cravings all the time! The problem was, we didn't have Rice Krispies cereal. I racked my brain, and luckily found one of those mini boxes of the breakfast cereal and the light bulb turned on! That would be enough to make 1, maybe 2 rice krispies treats! They turned out great! So easy, even fun! I had TWO happy campers (Scott and Olivia). Below you'll find the instructions. Easy, but Pinterest-worthy, I think!


First, I grabbed the mini box of Rice Krispies cereal.
Then, I got 2 mugs, and rubbed the inside with a little margarine (just enough so the marshmallows wouldn't stick.)  After that, I placed 2 large marshmallows in each mug, and melted them in the microwave for about 30seconds, but only for 10seconds at a time.
Once the marshmallows were gooey, I poured half the box of Rice Krispies cereal into each mug. I lightly buttered a spoon (again, so the marshmallows wouldn't stick to the spoon) and mixed the two together. Last, I pressed the rice krispies treats into little separate dishes and instantly had a treat!
All in all, this took maybe 2 minutes to do. Super quick. Super easy. Super delicious! Enjoy!

Can you make "new years" resolutions in August?

I'm not usually one to make specific New Years Resolutions each year. I'm not sure if it's because I usually don't follow through with them or if I'm just not motivated enough to actually sit down and highlight some things in my life I'd like to START or STOP doing. However, I know I fall victim to the thought of "oh, I'll wait til the beginning of a new day, week, month, or year to start...." In this case, I don't want to wait until January comes around again to start a new habit. This year has already flown by too quickly.  My son will be 1 soon, and not long after my daughter turns 6 (although many days it feels like 16). So if I were a "resolution-making" type of person, this would be it. I have had so many ideas/thoughts/goals/plans in the last year that I've put to the side for another time, another day that I fear they're beginning to collect dust.  I love to write. I always have. I remember growing up and loving to

Sorry isn't enough!

So I'm on Day 2 of my Daniel fast. Fruits, vegetables, and water. That's it. Sounds like torture-especially for a "meat and potatoes" kind of girl. I Love fruit-and several veggies too though, so it's not bad (yet). I've also given up facebook.  Scott and I are wanting to grow closer together as well as hear from God about a few specific areas of our life, so I'm devoting these 3 weeks to seeking God, hearing from God, praising God, and being more productive as a wife and mother! This morning I was reading my fasting devotion and it talked about repentance.  "From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.'" Matthew 4:17 In the Old Testament the word "repent" meant to "be sorry". But in the New Testament, the Greek word means "reconsider or think differently".  It's no longer OK to just "be sorry". We're called, commanded even, to chan

Integrity

I'm going to do my best to write this post in love and not condemnation or criticism. I pray that my heart on this issue will be evident and not misunderstood for something else. I heard a great pastor say about a week ago while he was presenting the congregation with an uncomfortable message "receive this in love". I thought, "what a great way to say what you really think and get away with it b/c you've given the 'love' disclaimer!" But seriously, this has been on my heart for about a year now. I don't know if it's been God that's brought it further and further to the front of my mind in the last month or what, but I felt the need to share. So, receive this in love! Integrity. When most people hear this word they automatically think of the personal meaning of the word. If someone has integrity they have moral or ethical principles.  A more corporate definition of the word as it pertains to the Church or a church ministry is "the s
