Grilled peaches

Dessert or side dish, your choice. I like 'em for a side dish and then again for dessert. Grilled peaches are yummy yummy yummy.

You will need:
olive oil
halved peaches
brown sugar

I use an olive oil mister to spray the peach halves with olive oil, you could just pour a little bit on them.

Grill face down for 3-5 minutes.  Flip and sprinkle with about a teaspoon of brown sugar.  Cook til the brown sugar is liquified.

Make and freeze breakfast burritos

2 lbs sausage
18 eggs
1 large onion, chopped
1 package hash browns
2 cans diced green chilies
2 cans pinto beans, drained and rinsed
cheese
tortillas
saran wrap or foil

1)  Brown sausage and onion at the same time.
2)  Whisk eggs and add to skillet after sausage is browned.
3)  Once eggs are cooked add hash browns, green chilies, and beans.  Cook 5-10 minutes more til everything is hot.
4)  Put some of the mixture on a tortilla, top with some shredded cheese and roll up.
5)  Wrap in saran wrap or foil.
6)  Freeze.

When your ready to eat unwrap from foil or saran wrap, and heat for about 2 minutes in the microwave.  My husband likes to take them to work and he heats them on a Mr heater stove.  He only takes the ones wrapped in foil.

Other things I have considered adding into the burritos are:
bell peppers
salsa
mushrooms
black beans
jalapenos

I'm sure there are many other variations of burritos you could make and freeze.  If you have a great burrito recipe, please feel free to share!

Rainbow birthday party

On the day of Harlee's 4th birthday party, which was unicorns, she requested a rainbow party for her 5th birthday.  Also, on the day of her rainbow party she requested a dragon party for her 6th birthday, we will have to see if she still wants a dragon party 6 months from now. 

A rainbow party was one of the most fun parties I have done so far.  There are so many great rainbow party ideas that it's truly hard to pick a reasonable amount of them.

Help orphans by shopping online

Yes! You read that right you can actually help orphans by shopping online. All you have to do is download a toolbar. After you download the toolbar select choose a cause and type in World Association for Children and Parents.  That's it! Now when you shop online at a participating store they will donate 1%-30% of your purchase to your cause (which is orphans I hope!).  There is over 2,500 stores that participate.  (Amazon, Macy's, Walmart, Sears, Dell, Expedia...just to name a few.)

Let me tell you WHY this is so important.

There are 143,000,000 orphans in the world.  And what do you think happens when they 'age out' of the system?

They die.

Or are homeless and unemployed.

Or they turn to a life of crime.

Or are prostitutes. (source)

Very few have a 'normal' life. 

There are literately hundreds of ways to help orphans but this one doesn't cost you a dime.  So no excuses. If you have time to read my blog you have time to download the toolbar.  If you are on the internet right now, and you are if you are reading this, then likely you will be back again and can make good use of the toolbar.

If you choose to not help orphans around the world, either by using the toolbar or by some other means, then good luck sleeping well tonight knowing there are 143,000,000 orphans in the world who need your help and your prayers.

Think it's too hard to help 143,000,00 orphans?  Is anything too hard for God?

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26 (NIV)

"Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." Matthew 25:40 (NIV)

Repost this, tweet this, facebook this, email it, blog about it, tell your neighbor or tell your friends, but tell someone! The more people that know the more we can help.
