Gingerbread


I think this could be the best day I've ever had. So my challenge to everyone (see former posts) has been a success. My life is now complete! My goal over the break was to create my own recipe for gingerbread. I really just wanted to do something of my own. So, basing it off of other cake type things I began and here is what I came up with ( I can't believe it worked the first time, I thought it would take me 4 or 5 tries)!

Kenzie's Gingerbread:

1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1/4 cup milk
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. nutmeg
1 1/4 +1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. ginger
1 Tbsp. Blackstrap molasses
2 Tbsp. powdered sucanat

Mix first 3 ingredients together. Then add eggs, oil, and milk and stir. The stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and vanilla. Next add molasses and sucanat. Bake in 8" x 8" pan at 350 for about 10 minutes. Warning: Do not let the taste of
the batter scare you, it changes when it cooks! :)

I am proud to say that both dad and Shawn thought it was delicious (as well as everyone else)!!

The Cloud

*Disclaimer: the upcoming message is not meant to say that all technology and social media is inherently evil. Imagine that we live in a world where there is a constant, dense cloud above our heads. In this cloud there are all kinds of things. There are TBH’s, LOL’s, OMG’s, TBT’s, and a myriad of smiley faces and thumbs ups. There are angry birds, frowny faces, and vines.  Bit by bit people lose focus on the world around them and get caught up in this entertaining cloud. People start reaching for the cloud and find comfort in those happy little smiley faces and the successful “likes” that the cloud has given them. Eventually everyone is looking at the cloud, instead of at each other. But what if one day someone got sick of depending on the cloud? What if they wanted to see the sun and the blue sky? What would happen? Slowly people start realizing that this cloud is getting in their way. They find it difficult to connect with family members. Answering phone calls becomes a bu...

Oh my goodness! I don't think there is anything better than these donuts! I've always been a huge fan of peanut butter and pretzels together.

Invisible

Sunday Thoughts: Invisible August 9, 2015 | Kenzie M I've been wanting to write this post for a while now, but I feel like I've sort of got writer's block. Or maybe it's just that I'm nervous that I won't do the topic justice. It's something I am very passionate about because I have struggled with it myself, and I know that it is absolutely miserable. I hope and pray that by sharing my experiences and the things that saved me, I will be able to help someone else.  Invisible. For pretty much all of high school this is how I felt. I felt invisible. I sometimes wondered whether people would even notice if I was suddenly not there. Would people be sad or would life just go on as normal?  These are the scary thoughts that ran through my head when I felt invisible. It always felt like the more people that I was surrounded by, the lonelier I felt. It's a painful oxymoron that many people face in our society. We can be surrounded by a multit...
