If you didn’t see my pita bread recipe, you have to go see it! This is such a simple recipe and can be used more than one way.

I hate how stores are filled with food with unnecessary ingredients. Our bodies are not designed to ingest most of what’s on the shelves.

These are so simple and cost you pennies and they are delicious!

Basic recipe:
3-3 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 1/4 cup warm water
1 tbsp yeast (*note: do you need yeast to make the chips? probably not, maybe I’ll try it without and report back. )

This is for a full batch of pita bread, so if you’re just going to be making the chips and don’t want that many, just divide evenly. Otherwise, make some pita chips and use the rest for the bread. I used 3 out of the 8 dough balls for the chips, it made a good amount.

Check out the pita dough recipe for a more detailed way of doing it but basically mix all your dough, divide into dough balls. For the chips, take a dough ball and roll out paper thin. Sprinkle your work space with flour and make sure the dough isn’t sticky while rolling out. Use a knife or pizza cutter and cut into squares, triangles, circles, cats, whatever floats your boat! Lay on a cookie sheet, spritz with water, top with sea salt or anything you love! I have a jalepeno salt recipe in my profile, that would be delicious on them! Cinnamon sugar, ranch powder, garlic or onion powder, all sound great! Let me know what you think sounds good!

Bake right away at 425 degrees for about 8 minutes or until they are puffed up and golden brown. Bake for longer if you want more crunchy. If they are not crispy but you baked for a long time, I would guess they weren’t rolled thin enough.

Let me know if you try them!

I love miniature things so it’s no surprise that I love these mini pumpkins. They are perfect for cupcakes or cake toppers.

I made a small batch because I didn’t need very many but you can double it and make more!

1.5 tbsp butter (softened if blending by hand or cold with using a food processor)
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup heaping powdered sugar
1/8 tsp pumpkin spice
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Blend until a smooth dough ball forms. Divide into mini balls, use a toothpick and create the ridges like a pumpkin. Roll in cinnamon sugar and top with a chocolate chip.

They are so cute!

You might have seen my other pita bread video. I baked those but today I finally tried cooking them on a skillet. I will never go back to baking! Love the way they turned out!

Recipe:
3-3 1/2 cups flour (I used AP)
1 1/4 cup warm water
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp yeast (yes I used a full tablespoon, you can use less but that’s what I’ve always done and have yet to try something new, which I’m not opposed to so if you try using less let me know)

Start with 3 cups of flour, add up to an additional 1/2 cup if it’s too sticky. Mix everything until well combined. Divide into how ever many sections you want, I usually do 8. Roll out fairly thin but not as thin as tortillas. Make sure your work space is well floured and wherever they will rest is well floured also. Otherwise it won’t be fun peeling them off when you need to cook them. I may or may not know how that feels….🤪

Let them rest 40-60 minutes to puff up a little.

Cook on a hot skillet. I did the first side for about a minute then flipped. Let it puff up (might take a minute or so), once puffed, flip, and keep flipping until fully cooked.

That’s it!! Stay tuned, I have a great way to use this recipe in a different way! Maybe it’s obvious, maybe it not, comment what your guess is!

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

We don’t live by any immediate family currently and we have one vehicle. Neither of those have ever been a huge challenge until now.

Dustin took Nora to the ER and neither of us thought that she might need to be admitted let alone transferred to another hospital even farther away.

Words can’t express how thankful we are for our dear friends for dropping everything to be by our side and help anyway they can. I needed a ride to go get the truck so that I could go see Nora, there was no hesitation, they were there to the rescue. My eyes fill up with tears when I think about timing and a growing friendship. They have become family and I’m so thankful for their lives.

We’ve had countless friends and family from afar praying for Nora since Sunday. Now since yesterday so many that don’t even know her are praying for her. I’m so thankful for this side of Social Media.

We are overwhelmed by those that have reached out, sent gifts for our little Nora and encourage Dustin and I. My mom and Dustin’s dad were both willing to drop everything to fly down to help for as long as we needed. I know Dustin’s mom said she would love more than anything to be able to come down to help as well. I’m so thankful for all of these generous offers 🙏

Regardless of any outcome in our lives, whether it’s with Nora now or in the future or anyone else in our family, God is in control. He will use others to bring us hope and encouragement, to lend a helping hand, and comfort us in our trials.

I will spend the rest of my life trying my hardest to keep Nora (Raegan & Ezra too) healthy. Nourishing their bodies with good food, laughter, love, and most importantly teaching them who Jesus is and why we need Him.

Reality is Nora’s lungs might struggle or even fail, a day I dread. Sickness is a part of this world and it makes us question a lot, especially when it’s sickness in children. I never want to focus on just the here and now. This world is fleeting but in eternity Nora will have a perfect body. We won’t know the reason for why things happen and sometimes that makes it really hard to accept Jesus into our hearts. Despite not being able to fully understand why things happen, I know I’m never alone, for Jesus is with me wherever I go.

Early on in Nora’s life I learned what her future might look like having Cystic Fibrosis (CF).
Lung infections, hospital stays, antibiotics, breathing exercises, chronic coughing. These were words that filled my brain as I stared at my new baby.

As the months grew into years and her healthy body continued to grow those terms slowly faded into the back of my brain.

She just turned four and aside from staying in the hospital after her cleft lip surgery at 6 months old, these walls were not familiar to us. We are beyond thankful for that, unfortunately the cf community knows all too well how it feels to call the hospital “home”.

All three of the Blue kiddos got sick a few weeks ago. Nora getting the least sick. Raegan was tested positive for RSV so naturally when Ezra and Nora got sick we assumed RSV.

After staying home and fighting it off we thought we were in the clear. Then Nora had a cough that would come and go. We weren’t really concerned about it, we just kind of thought it was a lingering cough from the virus. Then she started almost choking on her cough in the middle of the night.

We decided to take her to the ER last Saturday night where it quickly turned into an admission and a transfer of hospitals to where her CF team is from.

Those thoughts from when she was a baby quickly flooded my brain. We were now entering the part of CF that became so foreign to us.

Our baby girl went from having just a “cough” to low oxygen, rsv and pneumonia. After a day of being in the hospital she was moved from a regular floor to Picu to be monitored more closely. She was given steroids, antibiotics, breathing treatments, cpt, high flow oxygen, IV drip, and a clear diet that moved to no eating at all until her oxygen liters decreased.

We are now going into day 5 of being in the hospital and she has improved so much. She no longer needs IVs and the need for extra oxygen is coming to an end. Her lungs sound better and better every day and she is able to eat real food. To say she is a happy camper would be an understatement.

Unfortunately we do have to stay for another 9/10 days to finish her antibiotics and monitoring.

More to come in my next post.

Unpopular opinion….I hate Halloween.

I hate scary costumes, gory stuff, and the darkness that Halloween brings.

But the kids love to figure out their costumes and I love taking pictures of them!

This year Ezra was a garbage man, Raegan was Hermione, and Nora was Bell.

Thankful it’s November 1st 🤣🤪

I’m a huge procrastinator and late for everything. I have wanted to do “school” photos since last year 🤣

So here we are, almost in November and I finally took pictures of our two second graders and preschooler.

This is our second year of doing curriculum. We love it and we are so thankful for how well the twins have been doing.

So here’s to our 2023-2024 school year!

I had radishes that needed to be used so I found a recipe online for a radish appetizer. Luckily I had everything else too.

I toasted some sourdough bread and it was incredibly delicious.

I grated about 9 small radishes, added almost a cup of sour cream, 2 Tbsp of mayo, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and diced 3 green onions.

I found this recipe at theviewfromgreatisland.com
I did change the amounts of each ingredient but still very close to the original.

Next time I might add jalapeño.

Eat it with tortilla chips, sourdough bread, crackers or it might even be great on a beef sandwich.
