MAKE A SWEET TOPPING USING COOL WHIP

Raspberries topped with goodies

This snack has more than whipped cream, it has some more lively flavors. I did a research on raspberries, so I decided to make a topping for the raspberries to offset the not so sweat taste. Needless to say, it was just what the doctor ordered!





recipe  (yields 4 servings)

1/2 teaspoon finely shredded orange peal
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 cups fresh raspberries
1/2 cup vanilla low-fat yogurt
1/4 cup thawed frozen light whipped topping
1 tablespoon fine sugar

directions

1. In a bowl, stir together the 1/2 tsp. of orange peal dry or fresh

and the orange juice. Add the berries toss and coat.
sprinkle sugar over it.

2. For topping, in another bowl, stir together the whipped topping
and yogurt.
3.  Divide berry mixture among 4 dessert dishes.  Spoon some of the topping over each serving.
and add some orange peal over it.  Serve immediately.

Setting Boundaries in Relationships

Today, I want to talk about one of the most important and helpful ways  to relate to a spouse or significant other.  In order for any relationship to work, both people may have to put forth a lot of effort .

In a any relationship, each person  has to have a mutual respect for the other, or it wont work out .  Both persons has limits that may be different which is often determined by their personal values.  People  need to show as  much self respect for themselves as they show to the other party. They each  should be assertive and set boundaries without being shy about saying "no" in a respectable and comfortable way and the other should be accepting when the other one says "no" to them. When it comes to money and possessions each one should be able to set limits based on their convictions .  It is always important to set limits on what you will or will not share with your partner  because what you as a  person share can come back to bite them. I can give you a good example.  In my previous relationship with my ex-husband, I was an open book, meaning, I shared all of my secrets about my weakness with him not realizing that he may use my weaknesses against me to hurt me. which it shouldn't have happened, but it did!  Every couple should set sexual boundaries. Sexual boundaries can be violated with unwanted sexual touch, pressure to engage in sexual acts, or sexual comments. I've had a friend or two tell me that their partner wanted them to have sex with them a certain way and demanded it because they were married to each other. It really doesn't matter if we are married, we still have certain feelings about certain situations that we fee uncomfortable with doing, and we shouldn't override our feelings just to please someone. 

All in all, I've come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter what kind of relationship one may have, it's always better to stand up for what you believe in and set boundaries in them. you should set sexual boundaries, emotional boundaries which refers to a person's feelings and physical boundaries which refer to a persons space and physical touch.

The Country Cooking Queen : Does God answer Every prayer Request?

The Country Cooking Queen : Does God answer Every prayer Request?:












Have you ever wondered if God really going to answer every prayer request you make? This is a good subject because  I used to wonder will God answer all of my prayers?  In this post, I will give you some good answers to this question.

I turned to google to find my answer, and this is what I came up with. " If you are claiming to be a child of God in words and deeds, the answer is yes and no. "   The reader goes on to say," God has promised that when we ask for things that are in accordance with his will for our lives, He will give us what we ask for this is notated in the gospel of (St. John 5:14-15).  However; there is one caveat to this.  We may not always like the answer.  We pray for a lot of things. Some are good,  some are bad,  and some are really pointless.  
I agree with the writer that God hears every one of our prayers but doesn't necessarily answer all of them.  I've prayed for a lot of things that didn't come to pass, and maybe they didn't come to past because God knew ahead of time that what I was praying for wasn't necessarily good for me. 
.
Finally, God may not answer every prayer because he wants to give us what's best for us, but he does here everyone of our prayers.  (Mathew 6:6, and Romans 8:26-27)." 

How To Activate your faith

https://thecountrycookingqueen.blogspot.com
Hebrew 11:1,is a very familiar  scripture for most Christians. 

 Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, and the conviction of things not seen. I totally agree that every word of God is true because God cannot lie.  My faith is activated everyday of my life.I have faith that God is going to wake me up every morning. I have faith that God is going to protect me and others throughout the day.  I have faith that my money is going to be on my check week. I have faith that I can have anything I ask for if its in the will of God. Many times, I've been sick or my son's been sick, and we Go to God in prayer about it, and Guess what happens? yes, we were healed! now, my son has much faith in God! Please take a few moments to share your story with me. I'd love to hear all about it.

HOW TO MAKE CREAMED CORN SO DELICIOUS

White Creamed Corn with bacon bits

I love white creamed corn topped with bacon! BACON SEEMS TO BE ADDED IN MOST OF MY MEALS.
It seems that for me,bacon make everything tastes so good.  I no that bacon is not healthy, but I broke the rule today because it's not everyday that I eat bacon.  I came a long ways because in the past, I included bacon   in the majority of my veggies, but I have cut that down to at least once a week, then it will keep going down to once every twelve days and so on, but to be honest, I don't thing I will ever stop eating bacon completely. 


Recipe

one frozen package of white cream corn,1 tablespoon of margarine,  and bacon bits, cook it together and serve warm.
That's it  with a hit.
I told you it was easy, and I forget to mention it is good too! Now, you have a good side dish to try with the family.

HOWTO PREPARE FRESH OUT THE GARDEN FRIED OKRA

Fried okra and bacon!

 It's okra season, the season I've been faithfully waiting on. So I  am  sharing this my way of making it  because it's to die for  This is an easy recipe I enjoy making for my family and my self. I am serving it as a side dish today because i love the combination of okra and bacon, yummy! If you love okra, and bacon, you'll love this dish too!!.  Vegetables is something I purposely serve at every meal, and I usually like to  exclude bacon but it is so darn good most of the time  i cant resist it.   

Directions

I cut up about two pounds of fresh okra from the field because it wilts a lot, but rinse it before cutting it up into small slices. Next I start the bacon slices in the oven at 350 degrees, and cook until it golden as you see in the picture. Take the bacon out the oven, then pour olive oil instead of the bacon oil. into a frying pan along with the chipped bacon. When the oil is hot, throw in the squash and stir constantly to prevent sticking and keep stirring until the okra is  very tender and a little crunch, then all I do is serve with a scoop of rice or it can be eating alone. That's it!  I told you it would be delicious. 

HOW TO MAKE A TASTY WARM FRUITY DESSERT

Today i wanted to try something different that included fruit, so I put together this fun and  easy little recipe that turned out to be the hit of the day! This recipe  It includes;  pineapples, sweet potatoes, and  dried cranberries or raisins. 

DIRECTIONS
I steamed the sweet potatoes, and made a thick gravy by stirring pineapple juice and all purpose flour together and poured it over and allowed it to simmer and served warm.  It was a great hit and something different at the same time.
