Best French Onion Soup Ingredients💜

 Love, Love this cookbook, it's a bit dated but a sweet treasure, it's filled with yummy eats 😀

 If you do not have a stainless steel soup you must get one! This little guy is a must for wash hands after cutting up onions! It takes the onion smell totally away. I hear a big stainless steel soon works well too.

🌹25 Years ago today 💘

🌺Our dear neighbor made the most delicious pastry, she surprised us with this wonderful treat. My photo does not due it justice, the crust was so light and flaky and the fruit and icing were sweetened to perfection.  My husband and I watch a show called "The Great British Baking Show" and we both agree our neighbor would be a success on that show, her baking is truly scrumptious.💘 Thank you Sherry ! 

 Ephesians 5:18b-20

..be filled with the Holy Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns 🎵 and songs from the Spirit. Sing 🎶 and make music from your heat 💕 to the Lord. Always give thanks to God the Father for everything, Give thanks to him in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ 🌹

And have Tea 😀

💖I love the white mini personal teapots they serve at the Grand Floridian Cafe and the selection of tea's they give you to choose from is lovely. I always seem to choose English Breakfast though 😊

 In the office I have been enjoying water infused with fresh Summer fruit 💖 

Besides tea I love a good cappacino and our little Italian Restaurant down the street called Amici's makes one of the best cups! 💋

I was reading this morning and was reminded of the verse in Matthew where it talks about being a good and faithful servant .. 

I never really thought about it this way before but each day we are told "well done good and faithful servant"  but who is this coming from... the evil one would say " well done good and faithful servant" if we were full of gossip or choose to be unkind in our day.

This is not who I choose to serve. Father help me to be aware of who I serve and help me serve you in all I do.

Summer and Apple Crumb Pie go very well together 😊

I never made an Apple Crumb Pie before, I love making Apple Pie but this is the 1st time I made an Apple Crumb Pie.

I had a bag of Gala Apples so I used them in the pie, I don't think they are the best apples to use for pies but they worked pretty well. 

Years ago I had a Tupperware Party and purchased a mat to roll dough out. I love it, it really makes rolling dough easy and clean up is easy easy too. 

So this being my first Apple Crumb Pie I think next time I will do a better job with the crumb topping. I needed to cut up the butter better and mix it to more of a crumble.. my topping came up a little to fine. I need to work on the texture. 😏

I love homemade whipcream, this time though I whipped it a bit to thick. I filled a teacup with the whipcream trying to make it look good.  😊 It was not the prettiest pie I ever made but all in all it was yummy.

💙 God Bless the USA 💙

Verse for today is found in the book of John 1:1-5

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life,and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

💕 Blessings 💕 

💜My Niece shared a lovely ice-tea recipe with me and I wanted to share it as well 💕

Brew peach tea strong

Cool and add ice

Stir in equal parts of cool organic apple cider

Squeeze juice from one large fresh orange 

Garnish with orange slices 

Enjoy!😀

My Niece testifies it is beautifully yummy and refreshing 💜

 Proverbs 16:3 is one of those verses in the Word that you can read over and over again and it speaks volumes each time, truly one of my favorite verses, it reads..

"Commit to the Lord whatever you do and he will establish your plans."

God Bless 💖

Beautiful Reminder

1 Peter 3:3-4 

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.

💙Happy Memorial Day, God Bless the USA💙

 Psalm 33:12a

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord

Table set and ready 😊

💝Tea Pretty 💝

My sister gave this lovely lunch and tea set to my mom for her birthday in March, I love it and had to post a photo 😊

 I adore Apple Pie 💚 and love marking it because it is truly one of the easiest pies to make, even better if you use ready made refrigerated pie crusts.  Easy, easy easy to make for company and needless to say it is wonderful with a cup of tea. 😍

The Great Wall of China at Skippers Canteen 💖

On Mothers day we went to Disney World with my mom and step dad. 😀 We had lunch at Skippers Canteen.  In the Canteen they have a wall that they call " The Great Wall of China" 😄 it is a wall of "china"  How adorable! I snapped a photo of Tony in front of the "Great Wall" 😊

 This lovely set behind the glass was so so so pretty. 

It was a little hard to take the photos because I kept picking up reflections off the glass. I would of loved to have been able to hold this set. 😍

 My dear mom 💕

My mother's favorite China is the Prince Albert pattern, they had a beautiful set on display at the Canteen. I love the butter dish, I had not seen the butter dish in this pattern before

Words of truth from the Word 

John 3:11a

Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but was is good.
Anyone who does what is good is from God.

💜My sister set the sweetest tea table this weekend for us💜

 It's always a treat to have a cup on tea my sister. She keeps two tea cups with purple flowers on them in her china hutch and these are our special tea cups to use together.💜

This weekend was extra special because my Great Niece was visiting too. I don't think cookies and tea ever tasted so good. 💜 My niece had a special tea cup too that my sister has from Canada, it has a lovely kilt design.

 Fresh flowers always adorn my sister's dinning table, no matter the time of year 💜 Her table always looks so pretty.

My lovely Sister and my precious Great Niece

The book of Psalm is one of my most favorites books in the Bible. I wanted to share this passage because it always encourages me.

Psalm 9:1-2 ,7 -11

1 

I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;

    I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.

2 

I will be glad and rejoice in you;

    I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.

7 

The Lord reigns forever;

    he has established his throne for judgment.

8 

He rules the world in righteousness

    and judges the peoples with equity.

9 

The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,

    a stronghold in times of trouble.

10 

Those who know your name trust in you,

    for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.

11 

Sing the praises of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;

    proclaim among the nations what he has done.

           All Bran Banana Nut Bread 

I will be visiting my sister this weekend she moved into a new house and I am making her some Banana Nut Bread 💜

The recipe is from that back of an All Bran cereal box 😊

I really love this recipe.  One thing I did substitute though was applesauce for the butter. This is my third time making the recipe and each time I have substituted the butter with applesauce. It usually works 😀

I didn't have walnuts, only pecans... I didn't want to chance it, so I left out the nuts.

I was looking for a cute baking dish to bake the bread in and I found this set at Tuesday Mornings, I was so happy to find it in blue and white because my sisters dishes are the same shade of blue. When I got home and washed them I noticed the large one had a chip in the corner 😥
I made a second loaf for my mother in law Cindy 😘. 
I think next time I will I will not leave out the nuts, the bread was not the same without the nuts. These loaves were not my favorite. If you follow the recipe on the cereal box it comes out great 😃
