Welcome to this weeks Making a Home – Homemaking Link Up!

This weeks featured post is…….. A Winter Snowman Tablescape from Whispers of the Heart.

When I was packing up the Christmas decorations this year, I decided to leave the snowmen out. Why not have a few cheery decorations out ofr the rest of the winter? I even crocheted a snowman. And I have plans to make a few other snowmen, crafting, painting. Just a little winter fun. If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve seen a few of my snowmen.

This week’s featured post is such a cute table setting to make any meal a festive occasion. I don’t have enough snowmen for this yet. Maybe next year! lol

In the Kitchen with Linda

It was a busy week in my kitchen last week. Our daughter gaves us this big bottle of maple syrup that is made in the town where she lives. So pancakes were in order. The syrup is so good! If you find it at a store near you, I highly recommend it!

We had venison steak one night from a deer that my husband got. It’s always a popular dinner here.

I made quinoa pilaf one night as a side. I cooked some onion in some butter then added some bouillon, the water and quinoa according to the package directions. When done, I stirred in some peas and carrots. It was really good. And a different way to eat quinoa.

I had looked at the weather when I was planning the menu and picked a day when it was supposed to be a little a warm. If you count 40’s as warm. Except it didn’t work out the way I planned it ended up only being in the 30’s that day. I grilled hamburgers for dinner anyway. Because it was on the menu. lol

Photographic evidence. lol

It’s always worth cooking burgers on the grill. They taste so much better than cooking on the stove. And no mess in the kitchen!

I made a pork tenderloin that I had gotten on sale. I used a dry rub on it and it was so good!

And since I had to go out on Friday I planned ahead and put a venison roast in the slow cooker. Along with carrots, onions, and potatoes. It came out great as always.

I haven’t made any desserts since Christmas. Guess I was having a nice break from baking. lol I have making brownies on my to do list this week, though.

What have you been up to in the kitchen?

In The Kitchen with Linda & Dinner Menu

Monday – chicken or turkey – leftovers!

Tuesday – pizza/pasta – OYO – I have all day appointments, so everyone is on their own!

FREE Book! No Longer a Slumdog

January 6, 2021 by Linda @ Linda's Lunacy Leave a Comment

Some books are entertaining. Some are informative. Some books inspire hope. Some books are heartbreaking.

This book, No Longer a Slumdog, is both heartbreaking and inspiring.

Book Description:

Let God stir your heart for some who are truly in need—thousands of children living in slum conditions in Asia. In this book, real children share their real stories of need and how our loving God intervened to redeem them with His love.

You will be astonished as you read how God is powerfully moving in hearts right now. Read about an abandoned girl who found hope at the end of the railroad tracks, a young boy who escaped after years of forced servitude, and many others whose lives have been redeemed. You’ll be captivated by this powerful move of God as K.P. Yohannan leads you on a journey through the slums and villages of South Asia into the hearts and lives of these precious children.

It is literally heartbreaking to read about what some kids have to go through in life. Some parts of this book are hard to read.

The book isn’t just about the heartbreaking parts of kids lives in India, though. The emphasis is more on the hope that Gospel for Asia is bringing to these kids. This book is written by a ministry leader who leads Gospel For Asia. It is an amazing ministry. For more information visit the Gospel for Asia website.

We can help, too!

Start by getting a FREE copy of the book No Longer a Slumdog. Go HERE to get it.

You’ll find out ways that you can help restore these children, their families, and their communities in this FREE book. Yes, everyone gets a free copy of this book!

I highly recommend this book, and encourage you to go get your own copy!
