Peace family, this isn’t seasonal, but I thought it might be fun to share my salmon patty recipe with you! It’s very simple, and I made some this week with my friend Heidi. It is definitely a comfort food, at least with my family! 🙂 Mix 1/4 cup of cornmeal, 1 egg, and one tall […]

Peace family, Thanksgiving is tomorrow and Marty Van Ness, a turkey expert and supervisor with the Butterball Turkey Talk Line, has some great tips for us! To begin with, she says a good way to choose the right size of turkey is to buy one that allows for 1 ½ pounds per guest, although she […]

Peace family, there’s an opportunity to dine for a good cause at this year’s Healing Faith Uganda Benefit! Healing Faith is a medical ministry that provides people in Uganda with malaria nets, but also education so that they realize the malaria that makes them sick and kills them is caused by mosquitoes, not bad spirits. I […]

Peace family, you’ve probably heard of Still Creek Ranch and all of the good they are doing for boys and girls in our community through Restore Her and other programs. They are rescuing precious, little ones from abuse, neglect, abandonment, and sex trafficking, and giving them a safe place to grow, heal, and learn about Christ. […]

Peace family, here’s an opportunity to help Save Our Streets ministries! This weekend, S.O.S. will be having a Father -Son Camp Out, and every $25 we donate helps a father-son duo go on the trip. Founder J.J. Ramirez says they also need tents and equipment, and are extremely grateful for all of the people who […]

Peace family, don’t forget that your vote can make a difference! We are so privileged to have the right to vote, so make sure that you go out and do it! As I said last week, even though these elections are for local representatives, what we choose at this level really does make a difference […]

Hi Peace Family! Just a short post to let you know I went to my 3 month check up last week at MD Anderson in Houston. I am doing well and it looks like I am still cancer FREE!  This is so encouraging because during the surgery to remove my tumor there was a ‘positive […]

Peace family, Brian Christopher and I (Kat) had a great time at the S.H.I.P. fundraiser lunch, and I want to tell you a little bit about what this amazing local ministry is doing! They’ve been around for ten years, focusing their service in El Salvador, but they also serve as a ministry here in town. […]

Peace family, sometimes it can feel like nothing we do makes a difference in our country, or that it’s just too much of a hassle to make it to the voting booth, but we are so privileged to have the right to vote! Even though these elections are for local representatives, what we choose at […]

Peace family, yeehaw, y’all! This weekend is the Brazos Valley Fair, and Brian and I have spent all week talking about what we love about fairs; from blooming onions to freshly spun cotton candy, from hogs to Holsteins, from grand-prize pies to carnival rides, there is something enjoyable for pretty much everyone at a good fair! Tonight, […]

Peace family, what makes you feel most loved when you are under the weather? There are chicken soups, and there are chicken soups. When I need to bring out the big guns (such as this week, because several of my friends have fevers and colds), I make one of my favorite and most trusty standbys: […]

Peace family, what is the craziest thing you would ever use to decorate your house? Last night my housemate and I were looking at the assorted holiday decorations in the Pottery Barn catalog, and it occurred to me that although I am too cheap, I mean, economical, to buy many themed decorations (I prefer to […]

Peace family, football season is upon us, and for us Texans, salsa and guacamole are a must at celebratory gatherings! I (Kat) was on a car trip over the weekend and randomly remembered that a long time ago, I promised a friend of mine that I would give her a copy of my salsa and […]
