Home Making- a new recipe
Good Morning Ladies,
Recently I tried a new recipe that I wanted to share with you. It's a recipe for the Crock pot. Do you enjoy using a crock pot? I find that on busy days it's wonderful to load it up, turn it on, and come home to a lovely smelling home and at the same time be almost ready for dinner!
Here is the recipe:
Crockpot Mongolian Beef
1 1/2 lb. flank steak
1/4 c. corn starch
Slice the meat thin (it's best to do this if it is partially frozen), put it in a baggie with the corn starch, mixing well. Set aside.
3 cloves, garlic minced
4 sliced green onions
1 t. dried onion (I sliced an onion and added it instead)
1/2 c. soy sauce (I used low sodium soy sauce)
1/4 c. apple juice or white wine
1/4 c. cooking Sherry
1/2 T. white wine vinegar
1 t. seseme oil
1 t. molasses
1 t. ginger
1/4 t. black pepper
1 t. red chili flakes
1/2 T. peanut butter
3 T. brown sugar
Mix these ingredients together in a bowl.
Empty the meat from the baggie into the cock pot. Put the liquid mixture in the crock pot and stir until mixed. Put the lid on and cook 4-6 hours on low.
I also added some cut up broccoli and cooked it altogether. The recipe is very forgiving. If you don't have a spice on hand, you can use something you do have. I didn't have chili flakes, so left them out completely.
Enjoy with some brown or white rice and a bowl of fruit.

Give thanks!
"Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever." I Chronicles 16:34
Good morning!
Today may we be challedged with the thought of giving thanks to the LORD as we begin our day.
Do you feel like giving thanks? Perhaps you do and that is wonderful! Enjoy this opportunity.
Perhaps you don't, what do you do then?
Let's be obedient and give thanks to the LORD anyway and then see what happens with our day.
Everyday we should begin our day by giving thanks to the LORD, for He is good. Do we realize the goodness of the LORD in our lives? Perhaps everything isn't perfect, but there are many things in our lives that He has given us that are good, can we focus on those things?
Do we realize His love endures forever? If you don't feel loved, would you simply trust in His love? When we think of what He has done for us by sending His only Son to die on a cross for us, don't that bring to the forefront His great love?
Today, let's begin our day with thanksgiving.
