Easy and quick snacks are the best, and this happens to be a very tasty one with very few ingredients. It’s a lovely accent for a mexican meal but can be served with anything or just by itself. In fact I’m eating some right now – had to make some for the photo! haha!

Ingredients:
12 corn tortillas
2 tbsp cinnamon
2 tbsp sugar
warm water

Directions:Dip the tortillas into a bowl of warm water, and then eight pieces, like a pie. Place pieces into another bowl and sprinkle as desired with cinnamon and sugar. Lay flat on a baking sheet and bake in oven at 400′ until crispy. That should only be about 5-8 minutes. You can serve warm and with a dip or with honey. Serves 6.

If you don’t want to use corn tortillas or want to make yours at home you can use flour tortillas for this – using the same method. I would have used flour tortillas but we didn’t have any made. You can also cut the tortillas into strips instead of chips. Whatever works. For a dip you can just mix softened cream cheese with some honey, and maybe lime if you like. We hadn’t had these in a long time, just forgot about them, but they really are easy and so good…. good late night snack! ;)

When I was about 10-11 Mother Dear had each of us girls pick a grandparent to write to and through that assignment I grew very close to my Great-Grandmother. We stopped writing a few years back because it is hard for her to write anymore but we still keep in contact via the telephone. However, I decided to write to her again just because and I know she enjoys receiving letters. She’s living alone now with Grandpa gone and I know she needs the love and encouragement. She is one of the sweetest ladies I know.

Anyways, I want to encourage you all this week, whether young or old, to sit down for 10-minutes and write out a letter to an elderly relative – be it a grandma, grandpa, great aunt, or just that sweet old lady who you grew up with as family. It doesn’t have to be a long letter. It can just be a card with a simple “thinking of you, hope you are well” note. I can guarantee it will make them smile, and making people happy is a blessing in itself. Besides who doesn’t love to receive snail-mail! I know I do!

“To send a letter is a good way to go somewhere without moving anything but your heart.”

my email inbox is exploding from all your blog updates!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHH!!! HELP!!!

That was from Amanda. Isn’t she funny?? We have a little joke going about people who reply about getting too much mail and my 5 emails per week (at maximum) are just going to make their computers fall through the floor. Ha! I feel so bad for them – NO delete button!

Oh dear oh dear!

Nah, really. If you don’t wanna get updates – just tell me. I promise I won’t get my fweeling hurt. *bats eyelashes* Now… if you’re an old friend who is now unsubscribing after a few years of reading YUP I wanna know why!

Anyways, I’ve been pondering whether or not to just publish all the really short posts I have in drafts and let the comments be the content. I tried to find a plugin for a ‘like’ button and found one similar but not sure if I wanna use it. I have a good amount of discussion on my facebook from posting different links and Scriptures – I’d like to have it on here instead.

Hmmm….

I did have a post to publish but it contains hilarious info about Amanda and she won’t let me. Hmph.

Like the coldness of snow in the heat of the harvest is a faithful messenger to the one who sends him; he refreshes his master’s spirit. {Proverbs 25:13}

Oh Father, I pray that I would be a good and faithful messenger, who delivers your Word to the people, refreshing to you, oh Great Elohim! Here I am, Lord, send me!
