This recipe came from one of my FAVORITE cooks, Deanna House! I’m not sure when we tried this for the first time, because I’m SURE I would’ve turned my nose up at it, but I actually CRAVE it now! It is SO EASY and it is done in the microwave, since your oven is being used for so many other things during those family gatherings. Seriously, try this. You’ll LOVE it!
1 medium head whole cauliflower
1 (10-ounce) package frozen peas
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon prepared mustard
2/3 cup grated sharp Cheddar cheese
Paprika
DIRECTIONS:
Remove leaves and wood base from cauliflower, leaving cauliflower whole.
Wash until running cold water. Shake off some of the water. Leave some droplets remaining.
Place cauliflower on 8 to 10 inch round microwave-safe plate. Cover with vented plastic wrap.
Microwave on Full Power 6-7 minutes per pound. (A guideline to remember is that 1 small head of cauliflower weights about 1 pound.) Set aside and leave covered while you cook peas and heat the salad dressing mixture.
Cook peas according to microwave directions on package. Set aside while finishing the cauliflower.
In 2-cup microwave-safe measurer, mix salad dressing, salt and mustard. Microwave on Full Power 30 seconds to blend flavors.
Remove plastic wrap from cauliflower. Spread salad dressing mixture over cauliflower. Sprinkle with grated Cheddar cheese. Microwave on Full Power 45-75 seconds on Full Power to melt cheese.
Sprinkle cheese, covered cauliflower with paprika.
A Border Collie was captured on video saving the life of a chihuahua as a car was backing up at a residence in Canada.
Footage shows the collie outside playing fetch with its owner and a couple other dogs, reported the Daily Mail.
The dogs and the owner then walk off camera, and a woman is seen backing her vehicle out of a snowy driveway. However, the little chihuahua suddenly starts to wander dangerously close to the car.
They just released the OFFICIAL video for Ryan’s new song “With Lifted Hands” and we love it SO MUCH we just had to share it with you! Now it’s your turn to share it!
Anxiety is on the rise across our country. In fact, it has become one of the biggest “issues” adults, and children, are facing today. But, why do we worry when Jesus said, “So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.” Matthew 6:34
Take a look at what people worry about MOST, and how many of these things are truly not worth worrying about!
40% of the things people worry about will NEVER happen (like being struck by lightning, a tornado in West Michigan, geting the Bird Flu)
30% of the things people worry about are in the past that we can’t change (sorry, we cannot hop in a time machine)
12% of the things people worry about are criticism by others. (what are people saying about me? Are they laughing at what I’m wearing?) These are mostly untrue things to begin with.
10% of the things people worry about is health related. (which only gets worse with stress)
That takes us to 92%. So, 92% of the things that we worry about in life are things that really never come to the surface to begin with.
Only 8% of what we worry about is about real problems that we will face. Only 8% is legit worry so to speak
Philippians 4:6-7 do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
This week, the Virginia Cavaliers won the national college basketball championship, and their theme song was not your typical “rock anthem”, it was a song we play on JOY99!
After the game, Head Coach Tony Bennett thanked God, among others, for the win. And also said he used the song, “Hills and Valleys” by Tauren Wells to inspire his team before the game. He said he wanted the players to know they’re never alone in the hills or valleys. Pretty cool, huh?
Before coaching, Tony considered becoming a Pastor. We think he’s using his platform beautifully to reach people in a truly inspiring way! What are you doing with your platform?
When I saw my sister post this recipe, my mouth immediately watered and I got that little tinge behind my ear that you get when you taste something sour. I just HAD to try it. But of course, I also had to put my own spin on them, so I added a little lime and voilà! (…or whatever the Caribbean island lingo would be for that since I feel like adding the lime is kind of islandy!) This is the perfect spring dessert! If you’re bringing a dish to pass for Easter, this will do!
(Do NOT try to cut the corner with the plastic lemons or limes…use the actual real ones! You’re zesting with them anyway, so use the juice from them as well.)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper. Whisk together the flour and baking powder. Beat together butter, sugar, lemon juice and zest until fluffy. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients. Pour batter into the baking pan and bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs. Do not over bake.
Allow to cool completely,
Meanwhile, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon and lime juice and zest. Pour the glaze over the brownies and spread to cover.
Allow to harden overnight.
