Well, we are back on schuedule. The house is back together and we are ready to cook again. I have a little more time on my hands now so I will be cooking quite a bit more. That means more recipes for you guys. Here’s this weeks plan.
Tonight: skirt steak with baked beans and corn
Tuesday: Roasted nutmeg chicken with mashed potatoes
Wednesday: baked potato dinner at the church.
Thursday: take out before praise and worship practice
Friday: date night
I’m excited about the roasted chicken because there are tons of things I can do with the leftovers. Everything from enchiladas to soups. Also we are putting together the meal at the church on Wednesday night so if you are reading this in the Midland area come out and eat to support the youth group.
Happy eating!

I just wanted to let everyone know that there will not be a meal plan for this week because we have house guests. Jace’s parents are in town this week so more than likely we will be eating out most nights. The meal plans will pick back up next week.
Happy eating!

When I graduated from high school in 2003 I thought I knew what I wanted to do with my life. I just knew I was going to be a photographer. I quickly enrolled in all the photography classes I could take. Then I found out how hard it is to get a photography business up and running and how much competition there is in the field. I quickly decided that it would just be a hobby. Through the years of taking photos, I learned that I’m much better at photographing objects or just candids of people instead of portraits. Here are a couple of my favorite shots over the past year or so.
This one was taken in Dallas just a couple of weeks ago. I love the lines and the beautiful blue color.
I shot this one a couple of years ago on the 4th of July. My cousin Keely was throwing poppers and I caught her in the air, mid-throw.
This was my favorite photo from our trip to Dallas a couple of weeks ago. I love the curviness of the tree in front of the clean lines of the buildings.
This is one of my favorite photos I have ever taken mainly because this is a candid. My cousin Braz just happened to be playing in this bin and look over at me when I had my camera out.
This was taken at church during our youth revival last year. I didn’t have a tripod so I didn’t get the clarity that I would have liked but the colors came out amazing!
My dad’s 1958 Cadillac. Enough said.
Jace’s cousin didn’t want her photo taken but I caught her right as she was getting out of the pool. I really enjoy shooting in natural light. It come out so beautiful.
Matt was privileged to play his bass at his graduation. I loved getting this shot. I was so proud of my little brother.
I took this shot just messing around after church. I had just bought my first pair of Louboutins and they were hurting my feet after being on stage. I took them off and laid them on the piano and when I looked down I immediately went and got my camera.

This weeks meal plan might sound a little bit like last weeks. We bought some 5 spice seasoning for our stir fry last week and liked it so much that we decided to make something else with it. It has Szechwan pepper, star anise, ground fennel seeds, ground cloves, cinnamon, salt and white pepper, all in one bottle. It has this great sweet flavor from the cinnamon and cloves but a spicy flavor from the pepper. Last week we put it on beef with some peppers and onions over white rice and it was really good. So this week we are using chicken and noodles. If it works out well I’ll post the recipe. Here’s this weeks plan.
Tonight: five spice chicken and noodles
Tuesday: sausage jambalaya (we may throw some chicken in there do depending on our mood)
Wednesday: turkey and cheese paninis
Thursday: take out before praise and worship practice
Friday: date night!
Happy eating!
