Made To Crave!!!

I am doing a online bible study through proverb31.org  Made to Crave bible study It is the first time I have done a bible study on line.  I am so enjoying it.  Today it asked us to write our favorite verse. I have many favorite verses.  The verse of the week was Psalms 84 :2  My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord, my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.  We had to do verse mapping which led me to this verse. Psalms 73:26 My flesh, and my heart may fail, but God is the strength, of my heart and my portion forever.  This verse really touched my heart.  That will be my verse throughout this study.  It is God who will give me the strength because my flesh will fail and he will guide my portions.  I know portions could mean a lot here.  However, I am going to say it deals with my portions regarding food.  That is what reached out to me today.  We go to God for many things but rarely to we go to him regarding our food choices. I am learning that scripture deals with food many times throughout the bible.  I Corinthians 10:23 Everything is permissible but not everything is beneficial!!! Wow, that verse speaks volumes. My body is the temple of God and I need to remember that when I eat.  I need to change my habit in eating.  It is with God's strength and grace that I will.

Hibiscus, my flower for the Summer!

I have enjoyed the summer and can not believe it is about to end. I have gotten into my flowers this year.  I bought 3 hibiscus plants this year.  I have so enjoyed looking at them.  I have heard they come back each year.  I have to put them under the house or in the house.  I am not sure which I will do.  I also just bought rose trees.  These are different than a rose bush.  We extended our patio and we put them around it.  I have to say it looks pretty good.

Enjoy!!  I am making another today because we enjoyed the first one so much.

1 unbaked pie crust (I prefer refrigerated Pillsbury)

8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup chopped onion

2 T. chopped, fresh basil

2-3 fresh tomatoes, peeled and cut into thin slices

1/2 t. salt

1/4 t. pepper

1/8 cup olive oil

1/3 cup fresh, grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Using a very sharp knife, peel and slice tomatoes. Lay the tomatoes on top of two layers of paper towels. Sprinkle tomatoes with a dash of salt and place one more layer of paper towels on top of tomatoes. Leave tomatoes to drain while you prep the other ingredients. This will prevent your pie from becoming too watery.  Layer the pie according to the ingredients!!
