My latest obsession...

My latest obsession (this is Kristin by the way) started approximately one year ago. We were visiting our friends Justin and Katherine Cowart in Lindale and they had the most AWESOME coffee/tea/hot cocoa maker. I was hooked! I am not normally the coffee drinker, but there is something about this little contraption that makes me want to consume it in large amounts. Every time we would go to their house I would stare in amazement at this machine and all the different varieties of tea/coffee/hot cocoa. We recently joined a home group through our church and started meeting for the first time about a month ago. Lo and behold they had a Keurig on their counter just waiting for me to enjoy. Last week I enjoyed some nice Pumpkin Spice coffee while we discussed Sacred Marriage. It was so good. Cory and I recently got a gift card from rent.com because we reported our lease to them. Friday night we decided to hit up Bed Bath & Beyond after dinner with our coupons and look what jumped in our cart. My very own Keurig. Come on over for some coffee!

My New Favorite Meal...At Least For Now

This is Cory and I's new favorite meal. We have tried it with both chicken and beef and they are equally great! It is also very healthy. You can find the recipe here. You should make it tonight...because it's the right thing to do!

Butternut Squash...Fear Not!

I decided to get a little creative and live life on the edge one day. Thus, butternut squash was cooked in my kitchen. Cory kept raising his eyebrows and definitely looked apprehensive, but he wolfed it right down. I have to be honest and say that I was apprehensive at first, just for the mere fact that I had to figure out how to cut that beast open! Let's just say make sure you keep all fingers inside the vehicle at ALL times. It's a little scary. But once you get that puppy open, it is just like a pumpkin my friends. Here are a few preparation pictures and the finished product. Yummee! P.S. It tastes almost like a sweet potato, but with the texture of squash.
