Make:
Over the weekend I hosted a little mom’s night out for the ladies of our homeschool community. I made this Olive Oil Cake and boy, was it ever delicious! It was very easy to make and I love the taste of orange. Orange rind and some orange liqueur make this a lovely treat along side some coffee or tea.
Listen:
I was introduced to Ellie Holcomb by Emily of Chatting at the Sky and immediately fell in love with her song writing. I don’t listen to very many “Christian artists” because there’s not many I like. Besides my staples of Brooke Fraser, JJ Heller, and Sara Groves, there’s not many whose lyrics and style I enjoy. If you click over to Holcomb’s site, you can preview a good many of her songs in their entirety. I particularly enjoyed “Marvelous Light,” “The Valley,” and “Anchor of Hope.”
What have you been making and listening to recently?
I LOVE cakes with fresh orange in them. I must try that recipe! 🙂
I made no bake cookies this week for our neighbor twin boys who turned 9 this week! I managed to make them and get them out of the house before devouring them all like I usually do.I am actually really enjoying a book series with the kids while driving around in our car…IT’s called “The 39 Clues, Cahills vs Vespers”. For juvenile fiction, it is not only holding my attention but I find myself getting upset if the kids start it or listen to it when I’m not in the car.
And, today, I’m making this: http://www.jasonandshawnda.com/foodiebride/archives/7195/
