I'm thinking about my favorites from this year's blooms.
I wanted to post them all here so I can look at them during the cold dreary winter days ahead.
I see God's handiwork in these delicate flowers.
It makes me long for the gardens in Heaven where the colors and shapes will take my breath away.
I read about someone who had a vision of Heaven and the flowers and grass were singing! Can you imagine that??
I hope these beautiful creations inspire you with hope!
"The winter has past; the rain is over and gone.
The flowers appear on the earth;
the time of singing has come,
and the voice of the turtledove is heard
in our land."
Song of Solomon 2:12
I'm enjoying all the beauty of spring around me.
I hope you are inspired by God's handiwork too!
Breathtaking blooms!
We have been making a LOT of pepperoni rolls!
My grandkids love working with the dough and fillings. It's fun for them to eat something they actually made. On a cold rainy day, this is the perfect activity!
I start with basic pizza dough. You can buy fresh dough (at Aldi for $2) or you can make it like I do.
I start with 2 cups of flour, 1 tsp salt in my small food processor. I mix 2 tsp yeast, 1 tsp sugar and 1/2 C warm water to bloom the yeast.
Then I pour that into the processor while running. I stream enough cool water to make the dough come together.
I let it rise in an oiled covered bowl for 30 minutes.
Then the fun begins!
I cut the dough into small chunks and let the kids flatten each piece out. They like this part a lot!
I lay chopped pepperoni and grated cheese (either cheddar or mozzarella) in front of them and let them add the fillings, then roll the dough into small logs.
I put them on an oiled baking sheet, then into a 350 degree oven for about 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown.
Lunch is served!
And grandkids are happy!!
