Training & Blue Corn

The last four days have been filled with training and worship team. I did discover that we have Gluten Free blue cornmeal on sale at work and I'm dying to try some. I have the perfect recipe for it that I had made for years. The only flour it calls for is cornmeal. I made it last night with coarse ground organic cornmeal and it was delicious!

The only problem being that it's loaded with cheese and with eggs as well as chopped veggies. I'm trying my darndest to eat healthy and this cornmeal isn't exactly what I would call healthy. But it is hearty and satisfying.

Yesterday it snowed off and on all day in the Piedmont of Virginia. It was the perfect day to stay home, bake bread and make navy bean soup. The cornbread is the perfect compliment to bean soup or chili.

I was having sort of a stress meltdown yesterday so by the evening baking, cooking and working on a purple silk sweater were about the only things I was capable of. My elderly mother in law has been in and out of the hospital and she's not doing so well. It's throwing something of a monkey wrench into our lives and has pretty much upended our ability to plan. I adore her, she's been the best mother in law a gal could have so I'm sorry to see her suffering like this. I hope she gets better soon.

Family is really one of the most important things in this life. Even when the family is a little off kilter or doesn't match up with something like the Brady Bunch..
