Bountiful Blessings

 

October 7^th, 2012

            Hello. How are you this week? I am feeling, well, a little out of sorts. Lots going on. Has me emotionally and physically drained. Nothing major. Little life things, you know. But all of that to say, listen close, you will not hear this often…. Listening? Ok. Well, I have nothing to say this week. Yep. You heard me. Shocker, isn’t it? I told that to Jim and he guffawed. (Funny word, isn’t it?) 26 years and he can count of one hand how many times I didn’t have something to say.J So, this week, you get a breather. Instead, I leave you with a recipe from my wonderful Aunt Sue. Bacon makes everything better! 

            Recipe for the week:

Bacon Corn Bread

 

6 slices bacon

1 ¼ cups all purpose flour

1 cup cornmeal

2 t sugar

3 tsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

1 ½ cup milk

½ cup vegetable oil

1 beaten egg

Heat oven to 425 degrees. Cook bacon until crispy; drain and crumble. Spoon 2 t bacon fat into round pan, 9 x 11 ½ inches. Sprinkle with bacon. Mix flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix in remaining ingredients thoroughly. Carefully pour batter over bacon. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and cracks feel dry. Immediately invert onto heatproof serving plate. Makes 8 to 10 servings.

 

Bible verse for the week:

Whether you eat or drink…. Do it all for the glory of God.              1 Corinthians 10:31

Thought for the week:

I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want.  Phil 4:12

 

Have a great week!

 

Stay healthy. Have fun. Eat bacon. Love the Lord!!!
