Good evening! See the link above this line -- it is a fabulous recipe! A friend brought it to a party tonight and it was great - and I don't even like chocolate -- but the peanut butter took care of that!! You have to try it! I am still trying to figure out how to pin it on my pinterest "Favorite recipes) board!
It has been a wonderful weekend -- did some things I haven't done in 50 years - wow that is a long time - but yes - I am a little older than that! Uck!!!! Attended a lovely 50 Anniversary reception for a lovelier couple, and a super bowl party tonight with wonderful friends! How good God is to give us all of the opportunities - and wonderful friends!
I made a hit dip tonight. It is not original - Sweet Gourmet published it to email followers this past week.
SPICY SHRIMP AVOCADO DIP
2 Avocados halved
1 - 8 oz. block of cream cheese, softened to room temp.
1 lb. mall frozen precooked shrimp without tails (WalMart has them) (thawed - I use the salad size)
1 small jar of Prairie Creek Salsa (from Sweet Gourmet)
Mix salsa with cream cheese by hand until well blended. Add shrimp. Scoop out avocado meat and cut into small pieces. Fold in avocado gently. Chill 30 minutes prior to serving with your choice of cracker, chip or sliced baguette lightly toasted. (I used SIMPLY NAKED (a brand) Pita Chips.)
Make it - sit back and enjoy the compliments!!
I also made another SWEET GOURMET recipe:
SWEET AND HOT SAUSAGE BITES
1 jar of Mills Company Jalapeno Jelly (Sweet Gourmet)
1 pkg. link style sausage -- I used Oscar Meyers Turkey -- they recommend Cap Ranch German Style that they sell)
Slice sausage on the diagnal into 1/2 inch pieces. Place in skillet and brown on both sides. Browning will add flavor and help cook out a little of the fat. (The turkey didn't have any fat!) Drain off fat from skillet. Pour jar of jelly over sausage pieces and continue to heat until jelly is syrup form. Remove from heat and pour into smallcrockpot or chaffing dish. Keep warm and serve with toothpicks in a small container beside dish.
These were really good!!!
I went to Lifeway yesterday and bought the video "Not A Fan" by Kyle Idleman. We have been watching it on Wednesday nights and it is really thought provoking. Travis is helping with puppets and not getting to watch it - and I missed the night I cooked so I want us to watch all of it. Then I boought the book - on sale for $5.00. It really makes you think about your own dedication and if we just proclaim we love Jesus or do we really follow Him.
Here are some more thoughts:
Submission and Humility
1 Peter 5:5
“Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elders. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.”
To be “clothed” in 1 Peter 5:5 means to tie a knot of put on a servant’s apron. Basically this verse tells us to tie on the apron of a slave and be humble.
Why do you think Peter used that figure of speech? I think it was because Jesus laid aside His garments, girded Himself with a towel, and washed their feet. But “Peter saith unto Him, ‘Thou shalt never wash my feet. ‘Jesus answered him, ‘If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with Me,’ “ John 13:8
There are two lessons here: We must be clothed in humility. You can’t look down on somebody when you’re washing their feet. And even though we are saved, we walk in a dirty world. We need to come to Jesus daily to cleanse us from our sins, restore and refresh us.
