pinterest problems

Y'all. I probably have at least 120 recipes pinned on Pinterest. Between Crock Pot recipes, ~~fall~~ pumpkin recipes and sweet cravings, it is a lot. Here is the deal though, I've only made a hand-full of them. I see great recipes, pin them, never to return to actually make it! Then I'm left stressing out each night about what we are going to eat for dinner! Therefore, I am declaring the next 7 days my own personal Pinterest Recipe Challenge.

So, I totally stole the Graphic from YHL, who hosted a Pinterest Challenge at the end of October. Better late than never right? My plan is to make at least 1 recipe per day, preferably dinner, for the next 7 days or so. Here are the 8 recipes I wrote down last night, with an impromptu one that I already made this morning!

Weight Watchers Honey Mustard Chicken

Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Cinnamon Roll Waffles

Portabello Pesto Pizza

Crock Pot Ribs

Slow Cooked Carnitas Tacos

Buffalo Chicken Quinoa

Mini BBQ Cheddar Meatloaf

and today, Pumpkin Coffee Cake

Now, this is not a food blog, nor am I a food photographer, so I'm just going to post a picture and let you know if I liked it. More than anything, this is a challenge for myself to, in the words of Katie Bower, "stop pinning and start doing."

This Pumpkin Coffee Cake is a success. It was really simple to make and didn't take much time at all. Growing up, my mom made Coffee Cake for breakfast on Christmas morning, but we have recently switched over to a more hearty breakfast casserole. I can definitely see myself starting a Thanksgiving morning tradition with this Pumpkin Coffee Cake.

going public

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd ...

Arise Campus Ministry 9.23.14

Over the past few years, I've had the opportunity to be part of some awesome ministries. From time to time, I've been given the chance to speak and I wanted a place to keep those files. Here is where I'll post my talks, Bible Studies, etc that I'm either doing or creating. Arise Campus Ministry at George Mason University 9.23.2014 This week I want to tell y’all a little about my story, because the word “belonging” is extremely significant in it. I came to Christ at the end of middle school – which for me were terrible years. Think about all the stereotypes of mean girls and being made fun of and left out, and that is my story. It all really fell apart for me at the beginning of my 9 th grade year when every girl I had left middle school fighting to maintain a friendship with completely ignored me. I had a peripheral friendship with a girl who was a church goer and accepted her invitation to become part of their youth group. I had been on and off, but nev...

February Goals

Happy February! I'm joining Elizabeth and Sarah to talk about B+ Goals for the month! I am loving the idea of setting up some attainable goals for each month, but also giving myself grace for meeting or not meeting them. This year I am focusing on my Physical and Spiritual Health. First, a quick review of January's Goals. January Physical Health Goals : * hit my 10,000 steps 4 days of the week (I work a desk job, so this means I'll have to do some extra walking either before or after work) * track my food January Spiritual Health Goals : * read Simply Tuesday by Emily P Freeman * start my day with Jesus Calling and First 5 App As my husband would say, I won more days than I lost in January! My fitbit broke 3 weeks into January, so the last week and some I wasn't able to track, but I did get to the gym to run a few times without it. I also tracked more food than I didn't and the days we were at work I did really well staying w...
