A Mother’s Day gift is a great example of this. With it being so easy to forget to pick up a gift, it can also be easy to do panic buying and order something or go out and buy something that won’t be quite right.</div><div><br /></div><div>With that in mind, you will find six items that can make great quick and easy Mother’s Day gifts below.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Sweet treats</span></b></div><div><a href="https://www.dallmannconfections.com/collections/mothers-day-chocolate-gift-box" target="_blank">Mothers Day chocolate gifts</a> can be a great choice of gift. A box of chocolates never goes out of style and can be a classic gift that suits most people with a bit of a sweet tooth.</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Cooking</b></span></div><div>A home-cooked meal can often be the best comforting gift that you can give. Have a look through some old, treasured recipe books or see if there is a family recipe that could be made for a perfect night. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mothers-day-gifts-for-moms-who-love-to-cook?r=US&amp;IR=T" target="_blank">This gift is sure to be a thoughtful one.</a></div><div><br /></div><div><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Playlist</span></b></div><div>A love of music is universal, which is why making a playlist for someone can be a great way of demonstrating how well you know them and know what they like. It is a very thoughtful gift that shows you care in a kind gesture.</div><div><br /></div><div><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Necklace or jewelry using birthstone</span></b></div><div><a href="https://geology.com/gemstones/birthstones/" target="_blank">Birthstones</a> might not be the best gift option for everyone, with some people not being into that type of thing, but they can be a sweet, personalized way of showing someone that you really care about them. It’s important when buying a gift that has a birthstone in it that you are definitely sure which stone is the right one, so make sure you check and double-check the month that corresponds to the right stone.</div><div><br /></div><div> January – Garnet</div><div> February- Amethyst</div><div> March- Aquamarine</div><div> April- Diamond</div><div> May- Emerald</div><div> June- Pearl or Alexandrite</div><div> July- Ruby</div><div> August- Peridot</div><div> September- Sapphire</div><div> October- Opal or Tourmaline</div><div> November- Topaz or Citrine</div><div> December-Turquoise, Tanzanite, Zircon</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Flowers or plants</b></span></div><div>Flowers are a lovely, colorful addition to any room; they brighten up any corner and bring nature into any home. Grabbing some flowers from a local grocery store or florist is a great way of ensuring your gift is both wanted and beautiful. For a more stand-out gift, a good alternative option is a plant. Indoor plants have been growing in popularity, with more and more people choosing to decorate their homes with bursts of nature throughout different rooms. The most popular indoor house plants are:</div><div><br /></div><div> Monstera Deliciosa</div><div> Snake plant</div><div> Pothos plant</div><div> Bird’s Nest Fern</div><div> Rubber tree</div><div> Spider plant</div><div> Ivy (this can look especially good if you have it hanging)</div><div> Dracaena plant</div><div> Peace lily plant</div><div> Philodendron Green plant</div><div><br /></div><div><b><span style="font-size: medium;">Pictures</span></b></div><div>A picture is (as they say) worth a thousand words, so why not frame a photo of a great family memory? Taking pictures might be common practice, but with everyone using smartphones, it’s becoming less and less common to actually have the photos printed. This unique gift can then be given to commemorate a memory of whatever the image might be.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Thanks for stopping in at SusieQTPies Cafe!

Hands up here because I do! I actually LOVE salads made anywhere and by anyone but myself. I just have a few salad recipes I have ever loved over the years made by my own hands. Other than that I love salads made by others and from restaurants. I'm not sure why they always taste better elsewhere.<div style="text-align: center;"><span><a href="http://www.susieqtpiescafe.com/2020/06/super-easy-chicken-lime-fiesta-bowl.html" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="735" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv-DaJG6Doq9mdAU5sc6lKt78_qaqHA9d1PoTtIrhDDJVwkpw8-AMPVWnvoM9ygeTsuN9Ajo9geUEroiHm80o_4Ctwqo2EVz3Hz2Zbw3a0Jwqlmzq_kbuAEeXKV3G9ceRjbQ12ag/w333-h500/546E8474-FD07-459F-A77D-587F76D3CE29.PNG" width="333" /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><p style="text-align: left;"><font face="verdana"><span style="text-align: left;">Knowing this, I decided to try and make a few one bowl recipes this spring and summer which has included </span><span style="text-align: left;">salads.

<p style="text-align: left;">Chicken Lime Fiesta Bowl<br /> Servings 6<br /> <br /><br /> Ingredients<br /> 1 box of Zatarain's® Cilantro Lime Rice Mix<br /> 1 Tbsp butter for rice mix<br /> 1 can black beans<br /> 4-6 avocados<br /> 1 batch <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">Pico de Gallo</a> (my easy recipe) or salsa<br /> 1 bunch cilantro<br /> 2 limes<br /> 2 jalapeños<br /> 1 lb. chicken breast<br /> 2 cans Rotel Tomatoes (diced tomatoes with chilies)<br /> <br /><br /> Directions<br /> 1. Cook rice according to the box. It takes 25 minutes so start this first.<br /> -Follow cooking instructions.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /> 2. Next immediately start chicken. Put chicken in a pan with a lid.<br /> -Dump in both cans of Rotel tomatoes with 1/2 cup of water. Let simmer with lid on.<br /> -After 15 minutes turn chicken over. Let cook another 10-15 minutes.<br /> -Then shred chicken and keep in pan with lid on until ready to serve. You keep on low<br /> if done before ready to serve.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /> 3. While food cooking prep rest of ingredients. I put all in separate containers.<br /> -Open can of beans, rinse with water and let drain.<br /> -Coarse chop up avocado. Each serving gets 1 avocado or 1/2 if you prefer.<br /> Only cut what you need for this meal.<br /> -Coarse chop cilantro.<br /> -Cut lime into wedges.<br /> -Coarse chop jalapeños<br /><br /> 4. Make <a href="https://www.blogger.com/#">Pico de Gallo</a> or use salsa. If you are making mine, make sure to get the<br /> ingredients, too! It is super easy.<br /><br /> 5. Put it all together. I love this part of bowl recipes. Everyone can make their own.<br /> Just so you know, the rice & chicken do not need to be hot to serve this. I keep all<br /> ingredients separate and put away in fridge for next meal.<br /><br /> 6. Kitchen Tips: Make it quicker by cooking chicken in the Instant Pot.<br /> Same ingredients. Time will be 10-12 minutes. Or I've been known to grab cooked<br /> chicken from the store. Do whatever works for you. Switch up any of the ingredients<br /> that suits your family. No black beans in the pantry but you have refried beans or<br /> great northern? Use them. Make it your way!</p> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
For almost 4 years I have wanted to turn our church stained-glass windows into printable black and white sheets for our school & church kids to color. When this was originally on my mind I didn't give a thought to it that adults would want to color as well. I also didn't think that anyone else would want a lesson on how to do this! Boy have a learned a lot the past two months! Everyone wants to color and do this with their church windows. So here goes a small tutorial.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJPAfQM9B-VkqaecirP-00j-ej0JIY81ZxNbSRzaAscCKj9S4NGo-BHTWk6xRUkDKsugsHwPAr54-Db2G1NJmUWt5Q-VwXlPxygT9fqMEe7W1mlUiykFPjyLMxoAZiU0NNA0yqqA/s1600/IMG_3714.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="make printables" border="0" data-original-height="1102" data-original-width="735" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJPAfQM9B-VkqaecirP-00j-ej0JIY81ZxNbSRzaAscCKj9S4NGo-BHTWk6xRUkDKsugsHwPAr54-Db2G1NJmUWt5Q-VwXlPxygT9fqMEe7W1mlUiykFPjyLMxoAZiU0NNA0yqqA/s640/IMG_3714.PNG" title="stained glass window art" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
Instead of writing all of this out I made a video and uploaded it to YouTube. It is very basic. For you to make your own black and white printables you will need an iPad, Apple Pencil, and Procreate App. Can you use a Surface? Can you use Android? Please check into that. I do not have those devices. These instructions are for Apple products. I'm sure you can even use other apps. Feel free to use the basic design tips I'm sharing and make it work for your devices.<br />
<br />
In the video I roughly show you how to turn your stained-glass windows into printables. I do not go into deep detail. It is more of a quick overview. I will gladly share more in-depth videos if it is needed. It is highly recommend by me that you get the Procreate app and start playing with it using my first tutorial. It took me 3 windows to get my stride. Once I'm done with all of our windows I plan on going back and redoing the first 5 because I learned a lot of new tricks just by doing them.<br />

Feel free to follow me on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ2oqcnO45dXMBs-AxkZoGQ/" target="_blank">YouTube</a> (where I have this video and a few others. I will keep adding more.) <a href="https://www.instagram.com/susie_buetow/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SusieQTpiesCafe/" target="_blank">Facebook</a>, and <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/susieqtpies/" target="_blank">Pinterest</a> to ask me questions about this process. I will be doing more post and sharing links to the printables I've already made so you can print & color! Watch my video and ask questions. By doing that I will know what specific videos I need to make. I can also have you join in a ZOOM meeting or Facebook LIVE event to show you more.<br />

With being separated from our Church for the past few months I feel as though this was the perfect time to create these black & white printables for my church. What a great way for everyone to connect with their church while being separated from weekly Church Services.<br />
<br />
While creating these printables and coloring them on the iPad I have found this as a great way to connect with scripture. Each window has a scripture verse. I also prayed for the families who donated the windows. Now it is time for you to connect with your church family by creating your own stained-glass window printables!<br />
<br />

Your skin puts up with quite a bit daily. From sun damage to pollutants in the air, there are so many things that are seemingly out to get your skin. Due to this, it is a good idea to treat your skin from time to time. Not only can certain things help keep your pores clean and your skin fresh, but you might be able to lessen some of the key signs of aging that generally appear on your face.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Ebrima; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Ebrima; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Here are three ways you can treat yourself and spoil your skin.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h2 style="break-after: avoid; font-family: Ebrima; font-size: 14pt; margin: 10pt 0in 0.0001pt;">
1. Laser Skin Care<o:p></o:p></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Ebrima; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Ebrima; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
It might sound overly extravagant, but laser skincare is one of the best ways in which you can spoil your skin. Not only can specific treatments <span class="MsoHyperlink" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.yourlaserskincare.com/" style="color: purple;" target="_blank">reduce wrinkle appearance</a></span>, but others will leave your skin rejuvenated and illuminated. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Ebrima; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Ebrima; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
When you choose to treat yourself in this way, you trust the expertise of a qualified physician who can no doubt help you reach your skincare goals. Because of the nature of these procedures, you will want to go with a physician who can back their knowledge of skincare with plenty of experience. YLSC, for instance, is a clinic that specializes in these treatments and is trusted by clients for all their skincare needs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h2 style="break-after: avoid; font-family: Ebrima; font-size: 14pt; margin: 10pt 0in 0.0001pt;">
2. Eat Right<o:p></o:p></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Ebrima; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Ebrima; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
One thing that you can do to spoil your skin every single day is to eat the right foods for optimal skin cell protection and regeneration. Furthermore, stay far away from foods that are known to result in <span class="MsoHyperlink" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.allure.com/story/worst-foods-for-skin" style="color: purple;" target="_blank">damage to your skin</a></span> from the inside out. Too much salt can make your skin dehydrated and rough, while too much sugar can result in a dull and listless appearance. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Ebrima; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Ebrima; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Instead, opt for foods right in omega-3 fatty acids, which help your skin cells to regenerate faster. Because omega-3s don’t naturally occur in the body, your only chances of reaping the skincare benefits they bring are to consume them through the foods you eat. Go for fish like salmon and mackerel that are full of omega-3s. Certain nuts and seeds like walnuts and chia seeds are also excellent sources of this super supplement.<o:p></o:p></div>
<h2 style="break-after: avoid; font-family: Ebrima; font-size: 14pt; margin: 10pt 0in 0.0001pt;">
3. Exfoliate<o:p></o:p></h2>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Ebrima; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Ebrima; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Exfoliating your skin is an excellent and easy way to rid the surface of your skin from dead cells and debris. When you leave such things on your skin’s surface, the result can be a dull look. Moreover, when dead skin cells settle in the fine lines of your face, it can highlight their appearance. You can always treat yourself to an exfoliating facial, but for the best results, it is a good idea to add an <span class="MsoHyperlink" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline;"><a href="https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/beauty-products/g26311613/best-face-scrubs/" style="color: purple;" target="_blank">exfoliation product</a></span> to your weekly skincare routine.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Ebrima; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Ebrima; font-size: 11pt; margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Keep in mind that exfoliation is something that should be done every day. You don’t want to completely rid your skin of its natural oils, and you certainly don’t want to damage the new skin cells that form on the surface. Instead, once a week seems to be the right frequency with which to exfoliate your skin.<o:p></o:p></div>

When deciding to diet or take part in a healthier lifestyle, many people aim to eat healthier as the first step to a beneficial way of living. However, exercise is just as important for your body as dieting, and it has many health benefits, such as reducing the risk of serious illnesses like cancer and strokes, as well as helping you sleep and controlling your weight.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.susieqtpiescafe.com/search/label/Healthier%20Lifestyle%20Journey" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1055" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguwt6NDsYkD0mVcSqbTaAHBjq6IXgvc7RwFDd4spLMEf5RKdOlWv-BFnGo5YX-qhbtNnpHf38yOapr_Zi8LgBxY-Z9Katl9jDXwwAMCkREbb3Jm7uRAaciTVykBXalHvP3dPRv2Q/s400/IMG_2492.PNG" width="266" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Invest in Sporting Equipment</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Changing your food habits isn’t enough to lead a healthy lifestyle. If you decide to diet through exercise as well as food, you need to make sure that you have the right sporting equipment to enable you to exercise appropriately. Not only this, but many sports that you may be thinking about taking up require certain items of equipment in order to exercise efficiently and or even participate at all. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Clothing is one of the most vital aspects in this as clothing can protect you from the sun, and give you the comfort and flexibility that you need to play well. For instance, high-quality womens golf apparel such as you’ll find on <a href="https://www.pxg.com/en-us/shop/womens" target="_blank">this site</a> can really benefit women interested in taking up the sport in order to diet or have a healthy lifestyle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Exercising Regularly</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In order to combine exercise with healthy eating, you need to find a way of exercising that is right for you. There are many great methods of exercising, and these range from taking power walks, visiting the gym, to taking up a sport. Practicing a new sport, or even an old one that you have enjoyed in the past, can be a great way to engage in exercise as it allows you to exercise in a fun manner if you find a sport that you enjoy. Not only this, but sports can usually be played in a team, meaning that you will also have the opportunity to socialize and meet new people. As well as <a href="https://greatist.com/fitness/13-awesome-mental-health-benefits-exercise#1" target="_blank">exercise’s health benefits</a>, exercising regularly as means that you are able to eat more of the yummy foods you love and include a few treats in your diet, as you will be better equipped to maintain your weight and lifestyle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Eat a Diet that Benefits Your Exercise</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, the food that you eat can complement your exercise regime, and it is important to consider the amount of exercise you are doing when preparing your meals. For instance, lean beef, tuna, whole grains, and dairy products are filled with protein which can help to promote muscle mass and help your body’s recovery after a workout, adding to the hard work that you have just put into your exercise regime.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Eat Before and After Exercise</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is also important not to forget about your diet when you start to exercise as <a href="https://www.verywellfit.com/the-best-foods-to-eat-after-a-workout-3121369" target="_blank">eating before and after exercise</a> is vital to ensure that you remain at your best health and allow your body to recover. For instance, fruit and vegetables such as bananas are perfect for snacks before or throughout the workout as they contain slow releasing carbohydrates that are able to give you the energy that you need to continue.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Create a Diet Plan</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You should also <a href="https://www.webmd.com/diet/features/how-to-design-your-own-diet#1" target="_blank">create a diet plan</a> if you are thinking about establishing a healthy lifestyle as this will help you to stay on track and even follow your progress throughout your diet. You should plan your meals on a daily basis and ensure that you have the right ingredients to make these, as well as setting targets for you to aim towards if you are eating well and exercising <span style="text-align: center;">with the aim of dieting.</span></div>

This bread is fantastic. At home I make it with heavy meat dishes like ribs or a roast. It also goes perfect with pasta dishes. Well to tell you the truth, this bread is just oooey gooey good anytime you are in the mood for it. I haven't done this but it would be perfect as just an appetizer served with pizza sauce (meaty pizza sauce). It goes great with beer, too! Make it and Enjoy! </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
Ingredients</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
1 loaf of French Bread<br />
1 and 1/2 sticks of butter</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
2 teaspoons garlic powder (or minced fresh garlic)<br />
1 medium to large onion, sliced paper thin and some randomly chopped into smaller bits<br />
10-12 oz. swiss OR mozzarella cheese slices or a combo of both (which I do)<br />
1 1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds<br />
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
Directions</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
1. Sauté onions in butter until almost transparent on low-medium heat. Add garlic powder, poppy seeds and mustard. This can take 5-7 minutes. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
2. While onions are sautéing, score (use a bread knife and cut into the bread almost to the bottom) bread diagonally on a cutting board. Then turn bread and score diagonally again so you have a diamond pattern. Place on top of a large piece of aluminum foil.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
3. Check onions. If onions are soft. Turn off heat and just let pan sit on stovetop. If not done, let it continue to cook on low. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
4. Stuff cheese slices into EVERY little slit on the bread. Feel free to add more if you want. Some slits can even have double cheese.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
5. Drizzle the hot onion mixture over top of the bread. Make sure to cover everything!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
6. Wrap in foil and bake at 375 F. for 15 minutes. Unwrap slightly and bake another 10 minutes to crisp the top...serve and love!</div>

Kitchen Tips: </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
1- I listed many up above so if you still have questions feel free to message me on social media where you found this recipe or email me at cafescrapper @ gmail . com</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
2- I've made this bread without onions (not the same but it tasted great). So if you don't want the onions just melt butter really well and add spices and just continue rest of the recipe as is. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;">
3- Have fun with the recipe and make it yours. Try different cheese, try different seasonings, use different breads, etc! Modify this recipe and make it suit your dietary needs being gluten free, dairy free, vegan, etc. Don't look at a recipe and say I can't eat that...make it into something you can eat.

It’s a key an ingredient in numerous cuisines, from Mexican rices to classic Hungarian goulash to Italian sausages.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">

Paprika can be smoked, sweet, hot, Hungarian, or Spanish style, depending on the variety of the peppers used and how they are processed. They range in color from bright red to brown, each with its own flavor profile, from mild to spicy. Along with new Spanish paprika, Pereg Natural Foods offers five other varieties: hot, hot oil, smoked, sweet, and sweet oil paprika types to choose from.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">

Also known as <em>pimentón</em>, this spice is becoming very popular in the United States. But what exactly is Spanish paprika and what makes it so special?</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">There are <strong>two types of</strong> <strong>Spanish paprika:</strong> smoked and non-smoked. Spanish paprika is commonly made with smoked peppers, which brings a deeper, smokier flavor to the table. That earthy essence comes from smoke-drying the peppers with oak wood for two weeks before they are ground.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Whether smoked or non-smoked, Spanish paprika is available in three varieties: sweet (dulce), semi-sweet (agridulce), and spicy (picante). The levels of heat and sweetness vary based on the blend of peppers used. Spanish paprika is generally less intense than Hungarian paprika, so it can be used in a multitude of ways</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>
<div style="caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; margin: 0in 0in 8pt;">
<span style="font-size: 11pt;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">“Spanish paprika can be your best secret ingredient!” says Joy. “It has just enough spiciness to be interesting, and its array of flavors – from sweet to spicy - gives depth to a variety of recipes. We use it in baked eggs, potato casseroles, sprinkled on roasted tomatoes, and in beef stews. Sometimes we use just a hint — not so much that it defines a dish, but just enough to give it a smoky or sweet note in the background.</span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

As an agricultural scientist and inventor, he learned that years of growing cotton had depleted the nutrients from soil, resulting in low yields. But by growing nitrogen-fixing plants like peanuts, soybeans and sweet potatoes, the soil could be restored, allowing yield to increase dramatically when the land is reverted to cotton use a few years later. Farmers, of course, loved the high yields of cotton they were now getting from Carver’s crop rotation technique. But the method had an unintended consequence: A surplus of peanuts and other non-cotton products.</span></strong></div>

It can seem like the more you try to get them eating nutritious food, the more they resist, even claiming not to like meals they have eaten in the past. </span></div>

One of the easiest ways to do this is to add chopped or pureed vegetables to pasta sauce. The redness of the tomatoes hides the color of many vegetables, although leafy greens would darken the sauce and are strong enough in flavor and smell to overwhelm the tomato. Carrots, swede, cauliflower, and peas are particularly good for blending into sauces.</span></div>

You can also try some exotic or unusual fruits and vegetables to see if the kids find something they like. Your son may loathe apples and bananas perhaps, but love the taste of Kiwi fruits.</span></div>

Watching a bean plant grow in a jar of water is a time-honored way of enabling kids to see how a seed develops into a plant, and it’s a lot of fun too.</span></div>

There is something very pleasurable about eating sweet food after a meal. Craving for sweets after a large meal happens because the sugar helps in digesting the food. <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/eustaciahuen/2017/05/26/desserts/#542f41bf5a8a" style="color: #954f72;">Desserts</a> that are made of fruit are an even more recommended food to choose in the menu. In addition, desserts help to lighten up the mood after a heavy meal.<o:p></o:p></div>

There are ways to make your dessert more attractive and more appetizing. You can add more colors with toppings such as sprinkles, chocolate chips, and marshmallows. A <a href="https://www.monin.com/us/products/flavored-syrups" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">flavored syrup</a> also makes changes in every dessert it touches. Traditional flavors, like the maple syrup and chocolate syrup, are the usual flavors you can see. However, the available flavors in the market keep growing, such as French vanilla flavor, to frosted mint, and even soda-based flavorings. </div>

<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<b><i>1. Coffee (and other beverages)</i></b></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<br />Flavored syrup is being used by a lot of individuals for their coffee. It doesn't only improve the flavor the coffee, the syrup also enhances the aesthetics of the morning beverage. The usual usage of flavored syrup in the coffee is to transform a cup into a flavored latte. Flavors such as almond, hazelnut, vanilla, peppermint, caramel, and cinnamon are the usual ones being used. On the aesthetic side, a leaf or a flower is usually drawn as designs.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
Coffee syrups can also be mixed on a different level to make different kinds of coffee variants. A creamy coffee is called a latte while the cappuccino is a strong coffee but with the creaminess of milk.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<b><i>2. Fruit Salad</i></b></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<br />When it comes to fruit salad, mixing and complementing flavors are quite hard. There are fruits that are not meant to be mixed together. One technique being used to ensure the harmony of taste and texture is to mix the similar fruits in one bowl. Berries are mixed with other berries and melons are mixed with other melons. The same thing goes to other kinds of fruits.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
To enhance the flavor, and for additional aromatic appeal, a complimentary flavored syrup can be used. An example of a delicious fruit salad with syrup is a recipe from Natasha's Kitchen. Strawberries, grapes, blueberries, and bananas are drizzled with honey and lemon syrup to finish things up.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b><i>3. Glaze</i></b></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<br />You can use the flavored syrup to put a shiny glaze on a lot of pastry dishes, to add more sweetness, and to make the end product more attractive. One such famous example is doughnuts with sugar syrup glaze. These are doughnuts that are usually glazed with milk, water, vanilla, and sugar. Glazing with flavored syrup is an easier alternative, especially if you want to have more flavor options.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<b><i>4. Toppings</i></b></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<br />This is one of the most common ways to make your food interesting. Flavored syrup can make your pancake or waffle more interesting with a little touch of fruit and your favorite flavored syrup. Although there is the traditional maple syrup, a change once in a while is welcome for the adventurous.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
You can also add custom designs in a cake using flavored syrup. In addition, the flavored syrup is often used on cakes to keep it moist. Bakers often use flavored syrup in their cakes to make more detailed designs and to write messages. Just remember that if you want to add buttercream or other <a href="http://www.4thsensecooking.com/2017/07/red-velvet-cupcakes-with-cream-cheese.html" style="color: #954f72;">frostings</a>, make sure that the syrup was totally absorbed by the cake. If this is not done right, your frostings will not stick to the cake.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">

<b><i>5. Hot Fudge</i></b></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<br />Although flavored syrup is usually less viscous than fudge sauce, there are other ways to make a hot fudge out of your flavored syrup. A recipe from the Brown Eyed Baker site used heavy cream, dark brown sugar, cocoa powder, ounces of chocolate, unsalted butter, vanilla extract, and syrup to make a hot cocoa fudge sauce. The sauce was then drizzled in an ice cream topped with a cherry. It is also simple to make as all the ingredients are just mixed and boiled five minutes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in;">
The author of the hot fudge recipe recommends making in batches and store it in the back of the refrigerator. You can use the sauce again when you need it by reheating it. Recommendations, such as using peppermint, orange, and raspberry flavors are also recommended by the author.<o:p></o:p></div>

Fall screams comfort food! So many of us have been waiting for cooler weather to make a batch of our favorite comfort food. Pasta dishes are included in this list. One way to make pasta dishes more for fall is to add in ingredients that go with the season, like cranberries! Embrace the flavors of fall and the up and coming Thanksgiving with our festive penne recipe. It makes a great side dish for Thanksgiving or as the star of the show in a fall weekday dinner or lunch.</div>

During our engagement, I opened up a classic church cookbook to find a chocolate chip cookie recipe. While eating the cookies, my soon-to-be husband made comments like, "these need nuts" or "I love a soft cookie" etc. Then when the kiddos came along they made their own comments. The main comment was that the cookies needed more chocolate chips. As time marched on this recipe evolved into one that became a perfect fit for our family. I no longer have a copy of the original recipe but below you will find our family favorite variation!</span><div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This recipe easily makes over 10 dozen chocolate chip cookies. You can get a lot less but not too much more that 10 dozen. The amount you get depends on the size of your cookies. I use a small cookie dough scoop which doesn't seem like a lot on the baking sheet but makes a perfect 2-3 bite cookie. Whenever I bake these cookies, I plan on giving them away! The dough can easily be frozen, too. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Ebrima; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our modern society has far higher levels of equality between men and women than it has ever had before, which is a good thing. However, when it comes to child rearing, it’s still predominantly women who take the primary role. It’s often a straightforward economic necessity – if the man earns more, it makes financial sense for him to keep working and his wife to care for the children. It is said, with great wisdom, that raising children is the most important job you’ll ever do, and indeed nurturing the next generation is a crucial role to undertake. Regardless of where you stand personally on women being the primary carers for young families, the fact is that many women do find they have been away from the world of employment for years at a time, and it can be a daunting prospect to get back onto the career ladder.</span></div>

New skills needn’t have been formally accredited to be worth adding to your resume; it can be anything you’ve mastered since you were last employed, as long as it demonstrates an attribute that will add value.

However, it’s more likely that you will have to start at a lower level than you were on previously. One smart strategy is to apply to businesses that have good career prospects. For example, if you check out the </span><a href="https://jobapplicationcenter.com/dollar-general-application/" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><span style="-webkit-text-decoration-skip: none; color: #0563c1; font-family: Ebrima; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; text-decoration: underline; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Dollargeneral com careers</span></a><span style="font-family: Ebrima; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> pages, you’ll see they have a range of jobs from entry level, through to junior, middle and senior management.

<br />
I'm super excited to have a copy of the new "The Enduring Word Bible" from CPH. From what Ive read it's the first journaling bible in the ESV translation. ESV is a common translation and does a good job at staying close to the original scripture text and easy for us to read.<br />
I love the easy to read font, soft yet durable cover, edging on the bible pages, the weight of the bible pages and most of all, since it is a journaling bible I LOVE all of the scripture drawings in the bible. There are over 300 of them in there for us to color. The drawings go perfectly with the scripture versus and they have inspired me to add in my own drawings as I read the bible.<br />
<br />
This journaling bible is great for beginners or for those who have been bible journaling for ages!

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Oh my sweet goodness! We are living in the good times because of all of the available products, seasonings, and spices we have to enhance the flavors of our foods. We also know that we have to watch our intake of particular foods, one of which is sugar. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16.363636016845703px;">How do you cut back on sugar when baking? How about in your morning cup of tea or coffee? How about on fruit? Sometimes you want a lil' extra sweet treat without the calories of white sugar. For me, I love using </span><span style="background-color: white;">Organic Stevia In The Raw® which allows for the little extra sweetness without the calories or guilt. Did you know that </span><span style="background-color: white;">Organic Stevia In The Raw® give only 3 calories but provides the sweetening equivalence of two teaspoons of sugar (32 calories!!) Oh my sweet goodness! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">Do you ever sweeten your food with </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Organic Stevia In The Raw®? If so what do you sweeten? Do you just sweeten your food or do you also use it for others in your home? Every time I've substituted white sugar for </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Organic Stevia In The Raw® no one has noticed! I love that I can cut back the use of white sugar in the home for this clean, lower calorie, non-GMO, organic, gluten-free product!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One easy peasy way I like to get in a lil' sweet treat is to take fresh fruit like strawberries and blueberries and mix with Greek Yogurt. I then give a 1 packet sprinkle of <span style="background-color: white;">Organic Stevia In The Raw® to cut the tangy taste of the yogurt and give the mix a small sweet kick! I could eat this every day for breakfast. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also love adding in 1 packet to a cup of tea, especially in the evenings when I'm wanting a little sweet treat after dinner. It works every time to cut the craving of a big, high carb/high calorie dessert.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">In 1993, Moscow Ballet toured the Great Russian Nutcracker to Washington DC, Baltimore, Syracuse, Orlando, Ft Lauderdale, New Haven, Reading and Charleston WV for the first time to critical acclaim. Directed and choreographed by Stanislav Vlasov, former soloist with the Bolshoi Ballet, and well known as a "Grand Dance Artist," the inaugural six-week tour starred principal ballerina Lillia Sabitova. It also featured the innovative rolling backgrounds first created by a St Petersburg Conservatory of Music producer, and which were the inspiration for Eisenstein's cinematic technique. Since then the annual tour has increased to include about 100 performances on the tour to cities from San Juan to Calgary, and from New York to California, traveling with two simultaneously touring companies of forty dancers each.</span></span><br />

We've been moving more every day for the month of September. We are learning new ways to get started on a healthier journey and motivating each other daily to keep going. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>

<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since it is the half way point we are celebrating the typical American way with FOOD! Food that is healthier or more nutrient dense than let's say a snickers bar (haha now you want one, right?)</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My group will share recipes that are on the healthier side. I know that I don't need any extra temptations this week to make something not so healthy! Below are 2 recipes for Pumpkin! Pumpkin season is going full force! The warm version has half the calories as your typical latte and the cold version is so healthier you won't even realize it is a meal in a glass! I'll share some of our favorite healthier recipes again this week! So stop back in! Enjoy! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Remember if you want more info on the MOVE EVERY DAY GROUP or our HEALTHIER EATING group email me or leave a comment with your email. We will be starting up new groups soon! </span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is the healthier version aka way less sugar of the typical pumpkin spice latte. This one has half the calories of your favorite pumpkin fall treat. Thanks to Beachbody for sharing the recipe. </span><br />
