Very Nerdy - Design Your Own Twitter Background!

I was trolling the internet to find a CSS background template to use and found  one for Twitter instead. I tried it, like it and set it up on my Twitter. Awesome.

Patrick's Long Road Ahead...is ending? We NEED more PRAYER!

I just did this post about Patrick Carroll getting a new heart in a transplant that he'd been on the list for 1 year. I've known him since I met his brother James in school and his mom Mary Ann as a schoolyard teacher in elementary school.

His wife Samantha posted sobering news today and she, their children, met with a social worker to make a decision as to their next steps...please continue to pray for them, no matter the outcome as Sam will still have to deal with her Lupus, their children Robbie & Jazzy would grow up without him, and countless others would be missing a piece of themselves named "Patrick Carroll."

His wife chose Blake Shelton's "God Gave Me You" as his most recent theme song.

How Many Ways to Use Carrots

In honor of the Easter Bunny, here are several ways to use carrots in your meals throughout the day! I'm sure you can figure out how to incorporate carrot puree soup, carrot coin medallions, or carrots in your salad...but what about the things you don't think of like carrot chips, carrot fritters, or carrot protein bites?

Let's start with breakfast over at The Baking Aisle with carrot cake waffles! The syrup is so simple to mix up too and adds to the aroma. If waffles aren't your thing, try out the Clean Eating Carrot Cake Oatmeal at The Gracious Pantry.

Carrots are a healthy snack, right? These Gingered Carrot Cake Cookies look delightful from Brown Eyed Baker. Okay, okay, then try these roasted carrots from Allan Sullivan.

For an afternoon snack, try some rum soaked raisins, spiced pecans, candied carrots, spiced cream cheese/sour cream carrot cake ice cream from The Cooking of Joy:


On the go - try The Carrot Cake Milkshake from Chocolate-Covered Katie!


For real, this is Dinner? Potage Crecy, or carrot puree soup,

Of course - dessert...carrot cake.
