Dear God,
Thank you for the gift of this beautiful child.
Thank you for entrusting Cameron & Sky to teach and help her grow to know You.
(As Lolli & Pop, we commit we will be standing strong behind them♥️)
Father, they dedicated this child to you.
You have given Noa to them but they acknowledge knowing that she belongs to you.
Bless Noa and let all that she does be fruitful. Let her grow in grace.
Give them strength and wisdom to raise Noa to know You.
Thank you for your love and guidance. Amen

The simplicity and texture of this OLIVE OIL CAKE goes perfectly with strawberries and whipped cream ♥️
~Be the Difference~
♥️April
• 1 cup olive oil
• 1 1/2 cups sugar (I used coconut sugar which will yield a brown cake)
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
Stewed Strawberries:
• 2 cups strawberries, diced
• 3-4 T honey
add strawberries to saucepan, add honey and cook over medium heat for 10-15 minutes.
I cook until I have plenty juice but my berries are still chunky. Refrigerate.
Whipped Cream (or take a shortcut and buy some)
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream (optional to stabilize and also gives a great tang)
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
add ingredients and beat until you have stiff peaks.Refrigerate
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Coat a 8 in x 3 in round pan with olive oil and sprinkle sugar on bottom and sides of pan (I used a coarse turbinado sugar to give me a crunchier crust.
2. In a mixing bowl whisk together olive oil and sugar until well combined. Add eggs, vanilla and Greek yogurt. Whisk to combine
3. Sift dry ingredients into wet and stir until combined. Don't overmix.
4. Pour into prepared pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes.
5. Cool for several minutes and then invert onto pan. I flipped it again so that it would be upright on my platter. Dust with powdered sugar.
6. Prepare strawberries and whipped cream and add desired amount to each slice of cake.
💗May the Resurrection of our Savior be a constant reminder of His love and promise.
💗May the risen Christ fill your heart with joy, bring you new hope, and bless you with peace.
💗Much love~from our family to you
Send help!! 😅🤣😅
Is this why folks don’t want to cook?
Off to mamma’s place for the evening! 💗
Lemon Buttermilk Pie is in the oven….because mamma loves lemons.
🥧 If you are tired of fighting with aluminum foil to protect your pie crust, this shield is worth every cent!
The pie crust shield that I use is listed in my Amazon Storefront in the Baking Supplies category. (Pssst…it’s cheaper to buy the 2 pack)

Seafood Lasagna
So good! This is a great way to change up your traditional lasagna.
Use all shrimp if you don’t like crawfish tails.
🍤recipe is below and you will also find a recipe card in the comments if you want to print that.
~Be the Difference~
♥️April
• 1 box oven-ready lasagna noodles
• 2-3 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
Sauce:
• 4 T butter
• medium onion, diced
• medium bell pepper, diced
• 1-2 T minced garlic
• 1/4 cup white wine OR use chicken broth
• 3 T all-purpose flour
• 2 cups heavy cream - add a little more if too thick
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
• 1 tsp each salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning- more if desired
• 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 lb crawfish tails
Cream Layer:
• 8 oz cottage cheese
• 16 oz ricotta cheese
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 13x9 casserole dish.
2. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, sauté onion and bell pepper in butter until soft. Add garlic and cook a few more minutes.
3. Deglaze the pan with white wine (or chicken broth if preferred) and cook a few minutes. Stir in flour and cook a few minutes. Don't brown the flour.
4. Slowly add heavy cream and whisk to remove lumps. Add 1/2 cup parmesan cheese. Add salt, pepper, and Old Bay.
5. Bring mixture to a boil before adding shrimp. Stir contantly and as shrimp starts turning pink, stir in crawfish tails. Turn off heat- this will finish cooking when it's in the oven.
6. In a mixing bowl, mix creamy ricotta layer. Mix together all ingredients listed and set aside.
7. Start layering-Put a thin layer of ricotta mixture on bottom (noodles need something to rest on to avoid burning.) Layer of noodles, 1/2 ricotta mixture, mozzarella, 1/2 seafood sauce...repat for a second layer. Top with more cheese if desired. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 more minutes.

It has been on my heart to encourage the person who has become weary and tired.
This is God’s promise-He doesn’t promise that we will never have hardships, but He does promise to be with us as we walk through them.
🌟Galatians 6:9
And let us not lose heart and grow weary and faint in acting nobly and doing right, for in due time and at the appointed season we shall reap, if we do not loose our courage and faint.
Now that, my friends is a promise you can count on.
