Where God leads

Hello!

Not too much new in the world of the Reeves. We attended church Wednesday night and His little Feet Children Choir came and sang. All of the kids were from India. They were so so cute. Taylor and I have always considered adoption and hearing some of the statistics is just heart breaking. We aren't there yet, but one day if God calls us to adopt we will be on board! His Little Feet is a great Christian Organization that helps orphaned children in many ways like providing food, clothing, clean water, Bible study, education, mission trips, and also teaming up with other organizations to get children sponsored and adopted.

Taylor and I are looking right now and praying to see if God leads us to sponsor a child. We looked at some profiles on Compassion International to see some of the kids. We have done a couple of mission trips for Nicaragua so we are thinking about sponsoring a kid from there. If you are interested you should check is out!

On Wednesday night we had a great dinner so I wanted to share it with you. I got it from Vegan Yack Attack and it is a deconstructed falafel bowl. I like falafels but you know sometimes you just don't want to roll out a million little balls of falafels. So instead you just roast chickpeas and throw it together with other ingredients. We used Bulgar and thought it was great. We made ate it with hummus but added some extra tahini and lemon juice. Then we topped it with cucumber, tomato, lettuce, yogurt, and avocado. It was better than we expected.

We don't have too much going on this weekend so it should be nice to relax. Hope your weekend is great as well!

Blogging downer

It has been quite awhile since I have blogged. I haven't really been wanting to blog...so I haven't. After Christmas Taylor and I felt so gross from eating so much desserts and sweets that we decided to not eat any junk for the month of January. I can say we successfully went, pretty much, 5 weeks with no ICE CREAM, candy, cakes, cookies, chocolate chips etc etc. It really wasn't that bad. And we still did have sugar like a few clif bars, sugary cereal like cheerios but overall we both felt better and realized that by us not eating it we didn't want it nearly as much. Obviously we can't live our whole lives without sweets but since then we have had ice cream a couple of times and that's about it. So hopefully we can stay on the path of only eating sweets once in awhile.

That being said we have cooked a few good things since then. I made a frittata the other day which was really good, especially since I am still trying to come around to eggs. The frittata had 4 eggs mixed with a little bit of milk. Then I sauteed potatoes until browned then added onion, garlic, bell pepper, greens, zucchini, squash, bacon and basil and oregano. After those were cooked I added them to the whisked eggs and milk and also added cheese. I did bleu cheese, feta, and cheddar. Just a little bit of each. Mixed it all together and put it in a sprayed pie pan. Then topped it with tomato. I baked it at 350...or 375 I can't remember. For about 35 minutes. We ate it for dinner. It was really good.

I also made a massaged kale salad with spinach, carrot, pepper, celery, garbanzo beans, grapes, pomegranate seeds, avocado, and cashew. The dressing was made with lemon, oil, poppy-seeds, agave, and mustard. I was pleasantly surprised with how good it turned out.

Today we are at home cooking and preparing for the week and watching some olympics online. On our ageda this week for meals is pumpkin enchiladas, parmesan eggplant rolls, potato nachos, and a special Valentines meal! Hope you enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
