"Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored." Titus 2:3-5 (NASB)

I was planning on showing the beautiful flowers my hubby bought me yesterday. But instead, my daughter made her own breakfast this morning. She even plated it. She loves all things chef-oriented and watches the Food Network. So this morning she put her creativity and knowledge from watching the shows to work. Here's what she created:
What we have here is a fried jelly sandwich with fresh pineapple around it, sprinkled with sugar, cinnamon, and cocoa powder. She said "it was like heaven." Okay - at least I didn't have to eat it! At least she liked it and was putting her culinary skills and creativity to work. I like to see her using her imagination and applying things she learns.
For my show and tell today, I thought I'd share a recipe with you that includes two pictures. Try this instead of the store bought chips and bean dip. It's delicious and nutritious!
Whole Grain Pita Chips with Homemade Bean Dip
Ingredients
Whole Grain Pita Bread (be sure to buy one that is truly whole grain and no sugar in it.)
1 lb. bag dry pinto beans
1 onion, chopped
salt
garlic powder
cumin
pepper
Follow the instructions on the bag of beans to soak the beans overnight. The next morning, drain and rinse the beans well. Cook them until done. I added salt to the water while they were cooking.
When the beans are done, let them cool. Once they are cool, put them in a food processor with about 1/4 of the chopped onion, salt if needed, a little pepper, and about 1 tsp. of cumin. Process until blended and creamy like a bean dip.
For the pita chips, simple take a piece of pita bread and slice it like a pizza. You can slice it into whatever size slices you prefer. Since the pita bread is hollow in the middle, once you slice it you need to separate the two pieces in each slice. Lay them flat on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and garlic powder. There is no need for any oil on these. Toast them in toaster oven on toast setting or bake in oven until they start to brown. The darker brown they get, the crispier they'll be. Here's two pictures: one of the whole pita bread and the other of the slices.
Serve with your favorite toppings like salsa, cheese, onion, etc. Just a note, when buying prepared salsas at the store, be sure to check the ingredients as many have sugar in them. There are some brands though that don't have any sugar in them. Of course, you could make your own homemade salsa which would be even better. For more healthy recipes, click HERE.

Aug. 15, 2008~ Show-N-Tell Friday......A Budding Artist ~
This morning, my daughter sat in one of our living room recliners with paper, pencil, and art books in hand. She drew a few horses and let me tell you...the drawings are good! Take a look at one of them......

Are you ready for another Show & Tell? Then hop right on over to Canada Girl's blog by clicking on the graphic above. I have another teacup to show you today.
The last teacup I showed you was the one from Spain that I received from a dear friend of mine. Well, this dear friend has a sister who is also a dear friend of mine. This friend and her family were missionaries in Africa. She gave me this beautiful teacup which is from Africa. She also gave me a wonderful tea tray from Africa as well.
Thanks to Jenn4Him and her show-n-tell post last week, we have made some pretty yummy sandwich cookies this past week. My daughter and I made the batch in these pictures. Then a couple of days ago, my husband and son made a batch using a yellow cake mix. Thanks Jenn4Him for sharing the recipe!!!
This teacup is from Spain. It was given to me from a very dear friend of mine years ago. Her parents were missionaries in Spain. While there doing missionary work, her father had a motorcycle accident. My friend traveled to Spain. While my friend was there, her father passed away. In the midst of dealing with the days leading up to her father's passing as well as dealing with him passing away, she thought of me. She purchased this teacup and brought it back for me.
I'm back with another tea cup to show you. Here you go......
If you look closely, you will see where I got this tea cup. That's right....Prince Edward Island. Several years ago, my family, along with my parents, took a vacation to Prince Edward Island. We really enjoy the "Anne" movies and looked forward to visiting Green Gables. I thought this particular cup was really pretty. It was the perfect buy because it has the picture of Green Gables on it along the name of the island. While we were on vacation at P.E.I., I painted my first ever painting on paper with watercolor pencils. I have the picture framed and hanging on a wall in our kitchen. It's a picture of Anne Shirley and Diana Barry on the beach.

As I mentioned in my previous post, I haven't had an opportunity to take pictures of more teacups. If my hubby can get a picture taken today, then I may come back and post it for S & T. If not, I'll save it for next week. Therefore, today I want to share a cartoon I came across that really speaks to the issue of worrying.
The ultimate goal of Christian home education is to train children to impact the world for God. We want our children to not only hear and learn God's Word, but also be doers of God's Word. Therefore, we strive to teach them:
SERVICE - How to serve God and others
ACHIEVEMENT - To do the best they can in all they do from academic subjects to chores to serving others and more
LOVE - To love God and one another
TRUTH - To live their lives based on the absolute Truth of God
The name of this blog is the acronym for these four areas that we strive to teach our children:
S.A.L.T. - Service, Achievement, Love, Truth
