Whirlwind
This last weekend was a crazy great one- We set up a wedding with Bella I'venti and I was in charge of making healthy dessert for my nephews 1st bday party! And we had a craft show that same day! Luckly my sister Autumn could stay at the show while I went to the birthday party.
The cupcakes were a test- I have never tried to make a healthy cupcake without sgar or other artrifical ingredients, at times i felt like bring on the box cake mix! But it was worth every bit of struggle...
I made Banana cupcakes- which were more like a muffin so I need to find a more cake like recipe, but they were good non the less. My nephew's fave thing is banana so I thought they would be perfect!
I also made Strawberry Cupcakes- it was like an angel food cake with strawberries mixed in. Very yummy!
I did make some alterations to each recipe- Where it called for agave I used honey. I also did not use the specialty flours or the arrowroot powder- I used half organic wheat and half organic unblanched white flour. I also used coconut oil in the banana cupcakes instead of grapeseed oil.
Also I made my healthier cookies, that are really yummy, but i will share that recipe later.
I didn't really take pictures, i was too flustered with everything that was going on in my life! Ha, oh well next time I will remember to slow down
XOXO

whats for dinner.
Dinner post-
last night I got a little creative with some healthy influence from my dad! Grilled lettuce- yes you heard me right grilled.
All you do is take the lettuce leaf, rub EVOO on both sides season with whatever you want- and place on the grill for about 3 mins. It will get wilty and crunchy and ohh so good!! I seriously never knew lettuce could taste so wonderful!
Then i sauteed up some onions and red peppers, seasoned those with garlic, a little cayenne (my fave) and some nutritional yeast.
We were also trying some sun dried tomato tofu dumplings I bought.
It all went together perfectly- I found that the dumpling tasted really rummy rolled up with the lettuce and peppers!

dreamer.
well i am a dreamer... i am the one that plans out everything perfectly in her head, and believes that, how she thought is how it is going to be.
i am in the waiting.
i am relying.
i am trusting.
but why does my desire seem so far away. i have been through a lot, my heart is on my sleeve. i am anticipating good things, yet having a hard time thinking they will happen.
God has seemed very far from me, and my desire to seek him out just has not been there.
Monday night husband and I watched Father of Lights and it changed my attitude, my feeling. God is so real and he is in the waiting. He is in the waiting for me! I knew then I need to put everything back on him, I was getting tired.

I want to be in fully surrender to him, recklessly abandoned. I started reading a book, that we have had for a while. I love it when God has you get things but then they don't interest you until the moment He knows you need to hear it!
I was feeling good, the sun was shining and I knew that where ever God took me, I was ready.
but then unexpectedly i felt like i was knocked to the ground.
I was in shock. I didn't know what to think. I just cried.
I know God has a plan and I am going to walk out in Faith. My emotions and feelings might be out of whack for a little bit, but I have a Daddy who can give me peace and can be strong while i am weak.
Its like the footsteps poem-
The Lord replied,
"The times when you have
seen only one set of footprints,
is when I carried you."
God is carrying me now. And i can take comfort in that.
I am thankful for what I do have, for my husband, my mentor Faith, my lovingly positive sister and my family.
Thank you Jesus for being so FAITHFUL! I have nothing to fear.
