January Wrap Up - Part 2

I've taken a lot of pictures this month with my new camera.  I don't really

know what I'm doing.  I should probably get out the manual

and start reading. Instead,  I just take tons of pictures and delete most

of them.  Thank heavens for digital cameras.

I took this on a very cold morning, when I went to feed the chickens.
I liked the ice crystals on the coop door and the cool reflection of the

trees.  Here's a few more, so I don't forget what a snowy January we had.

My favorite snow photo, taken of Micah's angel.

I love this picture of Mark's mom.

Goal #26 - Improve my photography skills


This is what my dining room table looks like most of the time.  I haven't
been serving many meals in this room, but there has been plenty of
feeding the spirit.

I've been digging into the New Testament and it's just too much work to

pull all these reference books out each day and then put everything away.

This is my favorite commentary, which was a Christmas gift from

my husband.  It's amazing.  I have a hard time pulling away from

it each morning.

* Goal #14 - Begin each day with scripture and prayer

    Goal # 22 - Study the New Testament

This is a beautiful pot of kale that I'm blanching for a veggie lasagne - 
which was delicious, by the way.....

Cooking meatless meals isn't hard and they are delicious.  I am aiming
for three dinner meals a week.  Less meat is better for us.  The problem 
is, I am a creature of habit and I tend to cook the same things over and 
over.  I am not in the habit of cooking meatless- so I have to put more 
effort into thinking through my meal plans.  


The meatless meals we enjoyed in January were:
* Tuscan Bean Soup
* Baked Ziti with Gorgonzola and Spinach
* Bean Burritoes
* Greek Spaghetti
* Pinto Beans and Rice
* Pesto Pizza with Feta Cheese and Sundried Tomatoes
* Butternut Squash Soup
* Veggie Lasagna with Kale and Goat Cheese


Yes. I do have a passion for pasta!!
If you have some favorite veggie recipes, I would love to hear about them.


* Goal #10 - Eat 3 meatless meals a week
