Casablanca Burgers

Such a great name for these unique and delicious burgers. My friend B (Brooke) invited me over to try out a new Moroccan patty! It's quite an easy recipe, and in honor of The Pioneer Woman, I tried to take (not-so-great) pictures with my (not-so-great) camera for your viewing. I mean who has time to worry about the lighting, aperture and shutter speed when you're drooling! 
Meet B.-- Grill-Myster extraordinaire.
Meet the leading man--Ground Chuck--
any version you like will do.

Spices that will soon be introduced to Chuck...
And they instantly fall in love!


It's like they've always known each other.

Don't be fooled-- its not just ketchup,
and its essential to the meal.


We must get our veggies kids--
choose anything you want to grill.


Squash and mushrooms another beautiful pairing.


I've never seen anyone so excited to stand over the scorching grill before!
She does look like a natural though.


The secret ingredient in the burgers.
Don't bash it until you've tried it!


Gotta end on a sweet note, but I don't have the recipe
for this amazing Banana Fudge Cake.
Let's just say I'm still drooling...



Here's the recipe--Enjoy!

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...
