Are you reading the Bible this year along with me? Every chapter I read makes the story come alive all that much more. I am including each days reading plan under the WORD POWER tab. So, if you didn’t start the plan in January, but would like to start now the daily reading is there for you! Start today … you will be blessed I am so sure.
For all of you who receive my blog post via email, I apologize the pictures didn’t show up in yesterday’s post. Operator error all the way around. That would be me … I forgot to put my “special code” to make them show up. Hopefully, you just clicked through to the blog and could see them from there. 🙂
Recently I signed up to participate in the Tastemakers program as part of foodbuzz. From time to time foodbuzz. advertisers may ask me to try out a product and then give them my opinion. I am so excited about this program on several fronts. First of all, I love FREE stuff and the advertisers give us a coupon to purchase their product. Secondly, I always have an opinion and am anxious to share it 🙂 So when Mrs. Paul’s and Van de Kamp’s sent me coupons for a free sample of their new ParchmentBake I was all in!
Oh brother, I am thinking they will never ask me to do this again … but hey, all was not lost, we had fish sticks and beer battered fillets for dinner and they were great! Honestly, I haven’t fixed fish sticks since my kids were little and we all know that was a LONG time ago 🙂 We typically don’t eat fried fish, but for a quickie meal, they were pretty good. The fish sticks were crunchy and I didn’t remember having all white meat back in the day. The beer battered fillets were just plain good. Crispy fried, dipped in tartar sauce and finger licking good!
With four flavor options, I decided to try the Classic Grilled and the Roasted Garlic. There are two fillets in each box so I needed two boxes for my chief culinary consultant, my sous-chef dishwasher and me! I left the Garlic Butter and Lemon Pepper for another time. I knew this was going to be interesting because my chief culinary consultant typically doesn’t like a pre-prepared meat, but he did agree to give it a try and share his opinion with me (like that wasn’t going to happen!)
Weekend Blessings, Happy Cooking, and Happy Shopping!
