Nachos

On yesterday, I had a day of rest that was very much so needed. I had an extremely busy, drama-filled week, and on Friday I was feeling it. It is during times like this that I learn to lean more on God’s grace, mercy, blessings, and divine intervention to get me through. At the last minute, I decided to make a very simple nachos with cheese recipe. The meat turned out moist, and it probably took about 30 minutes to make. I hope that you enjoy it as well!

Grits And Quinoa Casserole Pie

Going for the Grits

When it comes to breakfast, most of us eat the same few things every morning.  I know I do.  I am one who has always needed the extra protein boost.  I always start off by munching on two to three brazil nuts in the morning.  If there’s orange juice available, you can believe that a small glass is just enough to get me going.  Sometimes, I immediately figure out what I am going to eat for breakfast.  However, most times it’s just too early to process everything, and so, if it’s a weekday, I then proceed to figure out what I can make my kids really quick so that they can head out the door for school.  Then, I can take my time to fix myself something to eat.  This time, I decided to something different with grits.

I love cheesy grits.  On this past Monday, I wanted to do something with a little bit of a twist than the usual, so after making the grits the regular way, I decided to add quinoa and bake it for twenty minutes.  I liked the end result, and I hope that you do too.  Have a blessed rest of your week!

For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.

27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it.

28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

Proverbs 3: 26-28, KJV
