I've moved around a bit...always with the understanding that I should "bloom where I'm planted"...{Where GOD plants me!}...God has been gracious to my family over the years and we are most thankful for the latest {and dare I say LAST} move - to the South. These sweet people talk a little different, eat some good food and are the kindest people we've met during our little tour of the U.S.A. :) So what's a Cali girl to do in the South? Well, this blog is all about that! Thanks for reading!

Easter 2011

Easter...seems like just yesterday -- but so much has happened since then.  After spending the morning worshipping our Risen Savior, we came home and hosted an Easter Lunch with sweet neighbors and friends from church.  Friends, Children, Easter Eggs, Good Food and, most importantly:  A DAY TO CELEBRATE OUR SAVIOR - He is Risen, Indeed!  We had a wonderful day. 

My Neighbor, Suzanne brought a Carrot Souffle that was beyond yummy!  {If you don't think you would like Carrot Souffle - you're wrong - just try it and you'll change your mind}!  Here's the recipe:

1 - 2 lb bag of carrots (cleaned/peeled)
1 cup of butter
1 cup of sugar
2  cups of milk
4  eggs
8 Tablespoons flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
pinch of cinnamon

Boil Carrots for 25 minutes until soft; drain.  Process/Mix carrots with butter until smooth.  Add all other ingredients and puree.  (Use a large processer or blender).  Spoon into baking dish or dishes - shallow dishes are better for cooking time.  Bake at 350 for 45-60 minutes. 

Delicious!
