Katie's Blog: I'm Just Sayin . . .: Cool Website!

Quotes I Live By

“There are cycles of good and bad times, ups and downs, periods of joy and sadness, and times of plenty as well as scarcity. When our lives turn in an unanticipated and undesirable direction, sometimes we experience stress and anxiety. One of the challenges of this mortal experience is to not allow the stresses and strains of life to get the better of us—to endure the varied seasons of life while remaining positive, even optimistic. Perhaps when difficulties and challenges strike, we should have these hopeful words of Robert Browning etched in our minds: 'The best is yet to be'"--L. Tom Perry

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us . . . If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."
--President Gordon B. Hinckley

"God the Eternal Father did not give [the] first great commandment because He needs us to love Him. His power and glory are not diminished should we disregard, deny or even defile His name. His influence and dominion extend through time and space independent of our acceptance, approval or admiration. . . No, God does not need us to love Him. But oh, how we need to love God! . . . For what we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. What we think and do determines who are--and who we will become." --President Uchtdorf

Cool Website!

So awhile back I came across this cool website called Big Oven. It's this recipe generator thing, where you put in up to three ingredients you have in your pantry/fridge/etc. and it comes up with recipes you could make with them! I've used it a couple of times and it usually comes up with some pretty yummy recipes! Daniel made this really good Mexican chicken casserole with a recipe from there, and it definitely turned out good! It also has an option to type in leftovers you have to create a new recipe :) Also, as I was searching through some random recipe blogs today, I came acorss this one: http://www.kevinandamanda.com/recipes/ . There's only a few pages of recipes, but this is one of the first recipe blogs I've come across that I really like all the recipes, and they seem relatively easy. I'm definitely planning on making this sometime this week! If anyone knows of any good recipe blogs, let me know. I like finding new recipes.

Babzanne Barker said...: Okay, Katie, I loved the idea of a three item dish, so I went to the blog and put in avocado, angel hair, and sausage, thinking I would get a recipe for something with only those ingredients--but what they came up with had about 15 ingredients! I was so sad! But wouldn't that be a cool blog for you to start!!; February 15, 2009 at 4:53 PM
