Authentic Adjustments

I finally figured out what I'd call my Food Network show. I figure once Giada catches wind that I have a great show idea, she will want to produce and sponsor it. Then, we will be lifelong friends and take trips to Italy with our families.

"Authentic Adjustments"

Adjustments because I make adjustments to others' recipes based on my likes, dislikes, opinions, and what I have stocked in the fridge or pantry at the time. Plus I don't really like to follow recipes to the "T". Rather, I prefer to add a dash of this or that and a handful of something else. I end up with pretty interesting, (and in my opinion) tasty, new recipes.

Authentic because I strive to bring authenticity in everything I do, but also because the adjustments made do not use anything artificial, but real, yummy, and often times organic ingredients.

Alliteration in the name because... well... I'm an English teacher. I love alliteration!

Giada, I'm available to answer any additional questions you may have! I can't wait to meet you!

My most recent Authentic Adjustment:  Instead of Pioneer Women's "Migas," I made a sort of tomato, blackbean, pepper fritatta based off of her recipe.  It was awesome! A side of cheese grits made it a memorable southern delight! Definitely authentic-adjustment ready.

Confessions

I have had so many people thank me for my honesty on this blog lately. I haven't really thought about my level of truthfulness until those remarks of gratitude were given. I think I naturally wear my heart on my sleeve, and thanks to my upbringing, I often hear the term TMI, which just means I'm obviously not scared to express myself. However, I also believe that when you are going through something difficult, it's much easier to be raw and real in front of others, even complete strangers. Often times, it is these "real" moments that bridge the gap between hearts and allow us to live truth. I must confess, this marathon is really all over the place. It's like I hit mile 7, and I can't believe I'm only at mile 7! This past weekend, I felt covered in prayer, peace, and love. Matthew and I enjoyed a much needed date night, our little Levi enjoyed a quiet and restful weekend, and our big boy had a blast at our neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt.  I really ju...

Joy in Pain

There is pain in this world. It comes in different forms. Physical pain, emotional pain, frustrating pain, confused pain, displaced pain, short-lived pain, numbing pain, excruciating pain, sincere pain, unexpected pain. Yet, through it all, there is joy. How? Where? Why is there joy in a world filled with such pain? Is is true joy? Is it fabricated or medicated joy? Is it temporary joy or will it fade with the next whisper of pain? No. I have felt a joy that far outweighs my pain. It's a joy that doesn't make sense mixing with a pain that culminates in reality. It's a joy that couldn't be concocted by even the most elaborate of artists. As I've experienced some of the most intense physical pain during some of the most intense emotional pain, I have noticed and experienced some of the purest forms of joy and peace that cannot be watered down by logic. We lost our second child this week. At just seven weeks old, our precious baby gets to escape a world o...
