 I made the most delicious Quiche the other day. It is called Creamy Bacon Spinach Quiche, and I found it on a site called The Food Charlatan.  It rates high on my cooking scale, and I will definitely make it again. I read over the recipe, and I gathered my ingredients... Some of the cheeses I used were a mix of the cheeses in the recipe because that was all I could find at the store, but it worked very well.   This quiche is so creamy and custardy, I loved it and I would give it a 10/10 on my cooking scale.

Monthly Motivation Sometimes, fear does get in our heads and in our way.  The fear of failure, the fear of the unknown, and the doubt that we are incapable of success may block our progress.  We will miss many opportunities if we listen to that negative voice.  What does God say? "Have I not commanded you?   Be Strong and Courageous! Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged,  for the lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9 Joshua 1:9 was one of my go-to verses when my 37-year marriage dissolved. I was afraid, and I was anything but courageous. God has helped me with the fear and uncertainty and continues to hold me daily, and for that, I am thankful. Overcoming our fears may be easier said than done, and I believe it is a process. I think to strengthen our faith, we must practice our faith. For me, this meant giving my fears to God over and over again as they continued to rear their ugly heads. Yes, our concerns may still exist, but if

I love to try new recipes. I find if I don't sit down and make a list of new recipes to try or old recipes to re-explore, I will not make an effort to try the foods that sound delicious to me. So that is what I decided to do. I am going to make a list and try to accomplish everything on it during the month of November.  On my November Recipe Challenge, I have recipes ranging from breakfast to dessert and everything in between.  Of the foods listed, the only one I have already made is the White Chicken Chili, which I make every Halloween.  As I write this, it is very early on Halloween Day, so I will be making the chili tonight.  I can't wait:-) Breakfast- Easy Quiche Recipe With Bacon and Spinach Soups/chili- White Chicken Chili Pizza/Sandwiches- Margherita Flatbread Pizza Appetizer- White Pizza Dip Salad- Ruby Tuesday Pasta Salad Entree- Parmesan Crusted Chicken Veggies- Melting Sweet Potatoes Breads- Cheesy Garlic Bread seafood- Golden Seared Cod with Herb Butter Sauce Crock-

 I am always looking for fun things to do in the area.  I decided to take it further and see what events are occurring in North Carolina in a specific month.  Let's look at just a few things happening in November 2024 in NC that you may enjoy.

Well, it is that time again.  Time to plan a party.  It is October, and the choices for fall parties are endless.  I decided to plan a pumpkin carving party for October. Let's start with the pumpkins.  You can elect to provide the pumpkins or ask your guests to BYOP (Bring Your Own Pumpkin).  I have decided to ask folks to bring their own pumpkin and pumpkin carving tools.   Pumpkin carving can be messy, so you must prepare an area that allows easy cleanup.  Ideally, I will carve my pumpkins outside, but if that is not an option, you have to cover your table and have containers to retrieve the pumpkin seeds for roasting later and another container for the pumpkin's guts. Let's head to Amazon to see what we can find to set up our pumpkin carving station. 1- Pumpkin Carving Masterpieces: Halloween Pumpkin Carving Stencils, 140 Patterns Unique Easy and Complicated 2- Pumpkin Carving Stencils: 50 Halloween Templates for Carving Pumpkins 3- CANDLE CHOICE Halloween Pumpkin LED Li
