Bunny ears

I think they’ll soon be coming out of MY ears! 

My bunny ear napkin rings are surprisingly popular this year. . . I can barely crochet them fast enough :)

Just listed 2 more sets and they’re ready to cutify their new Easter home.

The fourth

Why is this kid so happy?

Because . . .

He just passed his driver’s license!! 

Now begins the first level of our state’s tiered driver’s licensing system. . . accruing both daytime and nighttime practice hours.

Did you know this is the FOURTH time I’ve had a new driver in my house? 

Gulp. 

It’s kinda sCaRy,

but fUn.

Also: nerve-wracking.

p.s.  You may want to stay safely indoors for the next few weeks days :)

Shadows

 

Even though I walk
   through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
   for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
   they comfort me.

Psalm 23:4

Dump Ravioli

Here’s a quick and easy one for you. . .  just 4 simple ingredients! 

This is one of the few dishes I use store-bought spaghetti sauce for :)   You could certainly make your own or use some of your freezer stash (recipe here), but since we prefer this dish with a meatless sauce – store bought it is!

The best part is, the ravioli does not have to be boiled first.  Yay! 

DUMP RAVIOLI 1 bag frozen cheese ravioli (meat-filled, if you prefer)
1 jar (28-32 ounces) spaghetti sauce
1/4 cup water
1-2 cups grated cheese

OK.  This is real complicated.  So pay close attention. . .

Dump the unthawed ravioli into a 9 x 13 dish.  Pour on the spaghetti sauce and water.  Mix gently.  Cover with foil.  Bake @350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.  Remove foil and top with grated cheese.  Return to oven and continue to bake until heated through and the cheese is melted, about 5-10 minutes more. 

That’s it! Enjoy!

Everlasting

Hast thou not known?

hast thou not heard,

that the everlasting God,

the LORD,

the Creator of the ends of the earth,

fainteth not,

neither is weary?
