From the heart!
On Sunday evenings, we would eat a quick supper before heading off to the Sunday night church service. Lunch was usually a pot roast with potatoes and carrots. She would cut up the roast and we would have sandwiches. On Sundays, mom would also fix a dessert. One of my favorites was the lemon icebox pie, especially in the Summer. Since I tried Key Lime pie, I am now hooked on the tart and sour flavors of cream cheese and lime mixed together. If you don’t have key lime juice, then no worries just use lime juice. Through this time at home due to the Covid-19, I am keeping it simple all day, every day. I pray that you are making memories with your family and making the best of the time that you have together because life is short.

“In the same sense, the tongue is a small part of the body, yet it boasts of great things.” James 3:5
James 3:5 shows us how something as simple as our words can cause some major problems. When we put ourselves down, it causes us to live with a negative mindset. Words can help us or hurt us. It is important to ask God to help us chose our words wisely. Blessings!

KEEP IT SIMPLE
Growing up, my mom would make us rice for breakfast. She would cook the rice and add in a little butter, milk, and a teaspoon of sugar. Rice for breakfast may be a little old fashioned and out of style. However, there are so many things that aren’t out of style like the memories we hold dear to our hearts. I hope that you are making memories with your family. Make the best of the time that you have together because life is short.

HOW DO YOU MAKE THE CREAMY DREAMY RICE PUDDING?
1. In a medium saucepan stir together the rice, milk, and a dash of salt. Heat to a boil over high heat. Keep stirring because the rice will stick or boil over. Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender.
2. In a small bowl stir together the egg and brown sugar. When the rice is tender, use a half a cup of the mixture and add one teaspoon of the mixture at a time to the egg and brown sugar to temper the mixture. Please be careful to not scramble your egg. Add the brown sugar/egg mixture to the rice mixture. Add in vanilla and cinnamon. Cook until thickened which is about 5 minutes. (160 degrees F) You can add in the chocolate chips.

My son traveled to Fredericksburg last weekend and he brought home some peaches from the Das Peach Haus. If you have never visited Fredericksburg, then now is the time to go. The peaches are amazing!
I remember when the boys were little, and I made peach jam. We had three peach trees in our backyard. My favorites are the peach cobblers, jam, and pies. My kids loved the jam.
