For our first Thanksgiving with Samās side of the family as a married couple, we were asked to bring a vegetable dish. My dear husband doesnāt like too many vegetables, so my choices were limited to what I knew he enjoyed; corn, green beans, or potatoes.
Everyone loved it so much that we have been asked to bring these green beans to almost every family gathering since.Itās extremely simple and a great crockpot recipe, so you can easily make it at home and take it to a potluck or holiday meal.
You will need:
5 cans of cut green beans
1/2 pound of bacon, cut into pieces and cooked
1/4 cup of butter
2/3 cup of brown sugar
7 teaspoons of soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons of garlic powder
First:
Open the cans of green beans, drain them, and pour them into the slow cooker. Add the cooked bacon on top of the green beans.
Next:
Melt the butter and stir in the brown sugar, soy sauce, and garlic powder to make a thick sauce. Drizzle the sauce over the green beans.
Last:
Cook the green beans on high for about an hour. Stir the green beans just before serving to mix up all of the ingredients.
Enjoy! I will be making this again in just a couple of weeks for Thanksgiving dinner with my side of the family!
Note: to make a full crockpot, use a 1-gallon can of green beans and double the sauce recipe. You can add more bacon, or just chop the bacon into smaller pieces.

Today is Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the Lenten season leading to Easter. Our 3-year-old has been talking about the Easter bunny since January, when he finally understood that Christmas was over. While Iām happy heās excited for the upcoming holiday, I really want to find some good, concrete ways to help him learn that this time of year is not only about bunnies and candy in eggs. So, Iāve decided to come up with 40 ways to spend the 40 days of Lent with kids. Some of these will work better with older children, while others are great for...

Written By: Rachel Gnagy @ Inscribed Photography & Design (recipe originally fromhere) One of my favorite āgirlyā meals to make is soup served in bread bowls. I love getting the Broccoli Cheese soup at Quiznoās (itās healthy because it has broccoli, right?) and Paneraās Cream of Chicken & Wild Rice soup. YUM. So when I saw a recipe on Pinterest for creamy chicken and rice soup, I thought I would give it a try! You will need: 1 Tablespoon of olive oil 2-3 carrots, sliced 2 cloves of garlic, minced 5 cups of chicken stock 1 cup of cooked chicken,...

We all have those heirloom recipes we grew up with, but when you get married you inherit a whole new set of recipes your spouse grew up with, too. This stroganoff recipe is one that my husband grew up eating and then cooked frequently for himself before I took over in the kitchen. (ha.) He made it for me once while we were dating, and I will admit ā I was super skeptical. Generally, these sorts of humble dishes arenāt my cup of tea ā the ones made with cream-of canned soups and noodles. However, I tried it and was...

Family and friends often assure pregnant women that their āmaternal instinctsā can be relied on to guide them into motherhood. This previously undiscovered gift will reveal itself the first time she holds her child. As a mother of four I believe in this instinct, but also recognize that experience and wisdom help. The birth of our fifth child, Kinsley, has introduced me to another source of guidance and strength that I never anticipated. Kinsley was born the day after Christmas. She was pink, beautiful and certified by the medical staff as being in perfect health. She was welcomed with unconditional...

āKeep in mind this is Godās plan! And who am I to dare question Godās plan!ā I say it over and over as I watch this mess unfold before me. This mess, America is calling an election. I have never been impressed with the two-party system. It allows too much power to a select few and limits our freedoms. So, as I watch and listen and pray, as Trump and Clinton march to the White House, I only hope more Americans now see the disaster that is the two-party system. Two people that should be sitting in jail are now...

I recently went through quite an experience with my health. I was diagnosed with breast cancer in September of 2015. Following my diagnosis, I underwent a treatment regimen of chemotherapy, double mastectomy, and then, 28 rounds of radiation. Before my diagnosis, I felt the healthiest I have probably, in my whole life. I was exercising regularly. Eating, conscious of my health. And after birthing three kids in 6 years, finding ways to focus on myself once again. And then ā WHAM ācancer. Excuuuuuuuuse me?!?! Cancer?!? I was, for all intents and purposes, a 33-year-old with great habits and a great...

When my brother Bobby and I were little kids, one of the great treats of summer was a journey to a neighboring town where my dad would buy each of us a hand-dipped ice cream cone. During the drive home, my mom would turn around from the front seat and point out drips that we back-seat-riders needed to lick up quick. I, the ever-eager pleaser, would anxiously eat my ice cream as quickly as possible, barely taking a breath between licks. Bobby, on the other hand, came up with the more reasonable response. He would grin at Mom and bite...

A secret Facebook group has been uncovered by police that connects kids as young as 12 years-old to places where they can buy drugs. (see the link to the story at the end of this blog) Shocking? Yes. Surprising? No. Kids find a way, donāt they? So what can we do? There are apps we can buy. There are rules we can make. There are punishments we can deliver. Yet the best prevention of all is our relationship with our young people. Time together, conversation, and honest sharing of our lives is the most effective way to influence our kidsāeven...
