I had never thought about evangelizing this way before. I did not read the article, but just watched the movie. It is about half way down.

Dill PIckles
I have always wanted to try my hand at these and the picture on this post made me choose THIS recipe first! :D
Caramel Sauce
I don't think this would harden enough on an apple (although who knows) BUT why not make this into a fondue?!?! Dip into the caramel and then dip into a topping of choice (chocolate chips, sprinkles, etc.). Of course the toppings would defeat the fact that the recipe is actually a HEALTHY version of Caramel Sauce! :D
Creamsicles
Oh this looks so good!!! :D :D :D What a fun breakfast! :D
Anti-Flammartory Seasonings
Seasonings to use when cooking to help reduce inflammation! :D
Poultry Dry Brine
We have never done a dry brine before (we always do it the Alton Brown way!) but this looks like a good alternative if you don't have days ahead to brine. I know Thanksgiving is a ways off, but I am sticking this in my REMEMBER ME folder! :D

20 Things to do This Summer
GREAT list of fun activities. One which we just picked up - geocaching!! :D
Be Out There
I learned about this site via Simple Modern Mom and had to share it. Some GREAT ideas!
A Challenge That Will Make You...
LAUGH! And I did when I read this. Why? Because I was JUST talking to a Created book study group I am a part of about the importance of laughing with your spouse. :D My favorite times are in bed with my husband after the lights are out and the kids are sleeping and we are both delirious from lack of sleep and EVERY THING seems so funny. We laugh and laugh literally for hours. It is GREAT! Like super glue that bonds us together. :D
Gardens at Dusk Tank Tutorial
This is so beautiful and elegant!

odds & ends: geocaching
We have discovered the WONDERFUL world of geocaching!
This is a GREAT way to get out of the house and hike without the kids (or even yourself) thinking of it as exercise.
Instead, it is a treasure hunt!
It has been a GREAT way to get out and enjoy this BEAUTIFUL creation God has entrusted us to.
In fact, through geocaching, I have come across sites I never would have known was there or seen before - I was missing out. Truly BEAUTIFUL and scenic views!
And it is a great time to get to spend time with the kids. Yes, we spend time together all the time because of homeschooling, but the kids get to show a bit more of their personality when geocaching: what they decide to take and leave, how they help each other during slippery rocks on the trail, etc.
And as you can see by the picture above, no one is too young! JJ is 4yr old in that picture. He took the spaceship (you can see it in the picture with the cache - there was a jumprope and lots of other fun little toys/trinkets for kids) and left some gold doubloons (it was a pirate themed cache).
Here is a great little link I came across talking about great and inexpensive "swag" ideas - ideas to trade in the caches.

Lavander Lemonade
This picture is SO beautiful, it is worth visiting the blog alone. :D
Inflation
OK, so this is a bit depressing, but inflation is coming and we do need to be prepared.
A Practical Guide to Owning Fewer Clothes HT: The One in Pink
The One in Pink
I came across this blog through her husband's blog after discovering his videos - which my kids LOVE - watch the earlier videos, the later videos have a dark side (guns and suicide and shootings and just are not kid friendly), but his earlier stuff is hilarious and had my kids laughing for hours ... sorry for the rabbit trail. ANYWAYS, this blog is so pretty and feel good! She is on the same food/health journey I am, we have some of the same taste in clothes, and the pictures on her blog are so pretty!! :D :D :D
