I found a wonderful one at London Apothacary, you can find her at ETSY.com. Hmmmm is is so warm and fragrant, it is called Winter Wonderland. Very appropriate, as today we receive 3 inches of diamond glistening snow. It has left our hill covered with podwer sugar, truly a winter wonderland. God is so creative, I think HE is showing off a little today, makes me smile in wonder! Blessings on your day and grab a cup of warm tea and enjoy God's creativity! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Titus2/651544/ Wed, 28 Jan 2009 12:51:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Titus2/651544/ Greetings I hope you are staying warm if you are in the cold zones....brrrr... it is cold here in Missouri.

This is the one I use on pizzas and it is so economical and delicious! There is NO MILK in this recipe! I cup unsalted cashew pieces 1 cup water 1 cup of firm tofu (organic nonGMO) 2 T of nutritional yeast flakes 1 t salt 1 T apple cider vinegar or lemon juice Place all of this in the blender and blend till smooth. Store in a glass quart jar in the refrigerator till needed. When putting this on a pizza the trick it to put about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of the cheese in a plastic bag. Hold the bag closed like you are going to decorate a cake and snip a TINY bit of the corner off. Now just drizzle the cheese across the top of your pizza. Bake as you usually would your pizza and no one will even know this is not mozzerella cheese. To make a orange colored cheese.....just added 1/2 of a roasted red bell pepper and whiz with the cheese mixture. This will taste some what like pimento cheese, it is great to use on top of the pizza too. I like to use some of the white and then prepare another baggie with a little of the orange cheese, this looks very pretty and it taste GOOD TOO! This orange soft cheese makes a wonderful sauce for your noodles or to use over steamed veggies. ENJOY this is a good one! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Titus2/314472/ Sat, 14 Apr 2007 18:42:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Titus2/314472/ Daddy Is DrivingWhile a man and his family were in Europe, there was a time when they needed to drive three days continuously, day and night, to get to Germany. So, they all got into the car -- he, his wife, and his 3-year-old daughter.The little girl had never traveled at night before and, with deep darkness all around, she was frightened the first night in the car."Where are we going, Daddy?""To your Uncle's house, in Germany.""Have you been to his house before?""No.""Then, how do you know the way?""Maybe, we can read the map."[Short pause] "Do you know how to read the map?""Yes, we will get there safely."[Another pause] "Where are we going to eat if we get hungry on the way?""We will stop at restaurants.""Do you know if there are restaurants on the way?""Yes, there are.""Do you know where?""No, but we will be able to find some."The same dialogue repeated a few times within the first night, and also the second night.But on the third night, the little girl was quiet. Her mother thought that she might have fallen asleep, but looking back, saw that she was awake and calmly looking around. They couldn't help wondering why she had stopped asking questions."Dear, do you know where we are going?" the mother asked."Germany, Uncle's house.""Do you know how we are getting there?""No.""Then why aren't you asking anymore?""Because Daddy is driving."Because Daddy is driving. This answer from a 3-year-old girl has then become the strength and help for the many years to follow whenever there are questions and fears on this journey with the Lord.Yes, our Father is driving.We may know the destination (and sometimes we may just know it like the little girl -- "Germany" -- without understanding where or what it really is). We do not know the way, we do not know how to read the map, we do not know if we can find restaurants along the way.But the little girl knew the most important thing -- Daddy is driving -- and so she is safe and secure. She knows that her Daddy will provide all that she needs.Do you know your Daddy, the Great Shepherd, is driving today?  What are your behavior and response as a passenger, His child?You may have asked many questions before, but can you, like the little girl, start to realize the most important focus should be "Daddy is driving?"Pass this inspiration on...- Author UnknownPsalm 9:10 And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, LORD, have not forsaken those who seek You. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Titus2/124377/ Wed, 26 Apr 2006 06:23:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Titus2/124377/   Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment Author: Jeremiah Burroughs   This book was first published in the 1600's.   Click on the below link to read the entire book online. I LOVE this book! Be Blessed!!   http://71.97.39.78/read.php?doc=BUR_RJCC&page=0&view=0     `I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.'Philippians 4:11This text contains a very timely cordial to revive the drooping spirits ofthe saints in these sad and sinking time. For the `hour of temptation' hasalready come upon all the world to try the inhabitants of the earth. Inparticular, this is the day of Jacob's trouble in our own bowels.Our great Apostle holds forth experimentally in this Gospel-text the verylife and soul of all practical divinity. In it we may plainly read his ownproficiency in the school of Christ, and what lesson every Christian whowould prove the power and growth of godliness in his own soul mustnecessarily learn from him. http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Titus2/67482/ Thu, 12 Jan 2006 22:19:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/Titus2/67482/   I received this from a dear friend. I thought this is worth sharing. I know my sister-in-law has used Bounce, to keep mosquitoes away for the past few years. She says it works GREAT!  Who would have thought? What a simple solution!   Below is the forward: My mail carrier told me that the US Postal service sent out a message toall letter carriers to put a sheet of Bounce in their uniform pockets tokeep yellow jackets away.  Use them all the time when playing baseball and soccer. I use it when Iam working outside. It really works. The yellow jackets just veer around you. And all this time you've just been putting Bounce in the dryer!  It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them.  It also repels mice. Spread them around foundation areas, or in trailers, cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering yourvehicle.  It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that don't get opened too often.  Repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season. Eliminates static electricity from your television (or computer) screen. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling.  Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce. Freshen the air in your home. Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet.  Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner. Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.  Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside empty luggage before storing.  Freshen the air in your car. Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.  Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The antistatic agent apparently weakens the bond between the food.  Eliminate odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.  Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will magnetically attract all the loose hairs.  Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds. Wipe the blinds witha sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.  Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.  Eliminate odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual sheet of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.  Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight. Golfers put a Bounce sheet in their back pocket to keep the bees away. Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and storing them. Keeps them smelling fresh.   Let me know if any of you all have tried any of these. I am interested how they have worked for you and your family. I am excited to hear from you all!!! Blessings!!
