Oooooh, yummy! Did you know there's a TCOG recipe blog? It's at http://yummyinmytummyrecipes.blogspot.com/ Kasey Broyles from the Antioch, TN church is the moderator. Her personal blog address is http://sgrplum.blogspot.com/ If you'd like to post your recipes on her site (and she'd LOVE it if you did), just post a comment on her personal blog, tell her who you are and ask her to add you to her links. You can tell her I sent you, if you'd like. I've been "going to" post on the recipe blog for months, but I haven't taken the time to do it yet. I've been pretty busy the past 4 months. *raising eyebrow* So if you post because I sent you, maybe she won't be so frustrated at me for my lack of posting. *giggle*
Oh, man. Now I'm hungry. I don't think that I gave you my blog address. dying2mywilldaily.blogspot.com I would love to have you come and visit. You just have to promise to over look all of my grammer and spelling mistakes. I HATE grammer and that stuff. I'm a math person!! ~giggle~
Sis. Smith:
I've commented on Kasey's blog and asked her about the Recipe site. Great recipes. Now if I can only get the time. However, I don't think I'm that great of a cook; I'm just great at messing up the kitchen!
Jess,
I'll visit. Guess what! I'm horrible at math. My family laughs at my math mistakes all the time. I have to wiggle my fingers and toes just to add and still can't get it right. Oh well.
AND I can't figure out how to put "links" on my blog!
AND I am really in the mood for a sanctified Church of God chili dog.
You know the kind...you put a hot dog on the end of a stick or hanger...accidently drop it in the ashes...then set it on fire till it's black. Pour chili over it, say your prayers and eat! Add a flaming marshmallow and that's good eatin'. Ha! :)
Now, I'm really hungry! I haven't figured out how to put links up either. I get to it one of these days.
Great recipes. I've copied two of them so far. One for my own enjoyment and the other to share with the youth group around the holidays.
Sister Tammy,
Wilson's mom here. Just found your blog. Enjoyed the recipes, will try one or two.
I love to cook, just don't have much time now---and when I do have the time, I so not have much energy.
Visit me on 3grands.blogspot.com
Hi Sis. MC.
I think I visited the link to your blog today, but didn't realize who you were 'cuz I didn't see your last name.
We got to eat with Wilson at the Assembly before the fasting started:) at Fazoli's Italian food. Now I'm really hungry for their breadsticks!! I better quit talking about food or I won't be able to fit in any of my dresses for the convention!
What's funny is that I've never completely enjoyed cooking (I do like cooking desserts & party foods) and then I ended up selling Pampered Chef for 6 years. I own almost every kitchen gadget & stoneware they sell. My sister, the gourmet cook, only wants to use a pan, knife & spoon.
Christina,
Do I look like I'm FAT free?! Ha! You're skinnier than me girl.
Oh wait, I do have one recipe...
Fat Free Angel Food Cake
Frozen or fresh sliced strawberries
Fat Free Strawberry Jello
Fat Free Cook Whip
Crumble cake and spread one layer in glass bowl (if you want it to look pretty). Sprinkle layer of sliced strawberries. Continue layering until top layer is strawberries. (you know, layer like a lasagna).
Mix jello according to pkg. directions. Pour the liquid jello all over the cake and strawberry mixture. Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Can put cool whip on top and garnish with strawberries or just serve with dollop of cool whip.
Good summer recipe.
