I attended MOPS this morning,
and got the priveledge of meeting and listening to Jill Kelly
speak about Prayer and Devotion...
One word.. AMAZING.
I feel totally inspired and refreshed, and throw a little Jesus, and relationships in there too. I could have listened to her all day.
She spoke to my heart with examples of being a Mother and Wife, and a Christian that I could totally relate to.. It has almost energized me into wanting a better relationship with Jesus. Im so glad I went!
She has a couple books out, that I think I may have to get and read!
If you arent familiar with her.. http://www.jillk.org/. Her story is amazing, and getting to meet her and hear her recite that story with passion and tears was something I wont ever forget.
Today is also St.Patrick's Day
and I had my Corned Beef and Cabbage
simmering away in my slow cooker all day.. mmm
The recipe is SOOOO darn easy..
I make it always on St. Pat's Day -- seeing as I am 50% Irish and all
.. but I've been known to just make CB&C just because why wait a whole year, its delish! ha!
Recipe:
(courtesy of my cousin Jeanne I might add)
Corned Beef Brisket - packet of seasoning inside
4-5 Potatoes (Red or Yukon Gold)
3-4 small onions - quartered
5-6 large carrots - cut into 3 inch pieces.
1 head cabbage
Add corned beef (thawed) & sprinkle seasoning over top.
Then add onions/potatoes/carrots
Cover with about 2-3 cups water
Cook on Low 8-10hrs
Add Cabbage in wedges and add to slow cooker at the last hour of cooking,
and turn up slow cooker to HIGH setting. (1hr)
Test to make sure tender.
I serve my meal with Rye Bread & Mustard for Corned Beef Sandwiches (hubby likes)
or on the side with yummy butter! (I like)
We're having my aunt over for dinner tonight, and she brought dessert...
{Irish Cream Cheesecake... mmm}
And she brought 2 huge shamrock iced cookies for Samantha.
Maybe that why she was screaming in her crib tonight before bed.. she never puts up a fight (hardly), but tonight she was a stinker and really got upset..
I tried to soothe her.. but as usual, just made it worse...
Eventually she did fall asleep... poor thing.
Hope everyone had a great Day!
I had a request for The San Diego Fish Taco recipe.. I am getting that going.. let me know if you want any other recipes as mentioned in this posting
