Italian Romance




I've been doing this fabulous devotional that I cannot wait to share with you all. 


It has challenged me as being a wife for sure. I decided that I wanted to show my husband extravagantly love. I work hard to love like Christ would, but sometimes I think as wives we forget our marriages are to be examples of the love of the church and God. 

I was just really inspired to do something for my Josh.... 

An Italian Romantic Dinner. 

Now, I'm not a Paula Deen, Emeril Lagasse, and others... 

I do have some awesome recipes passed to me and I can be inventive :)

I decided to make:
"Poppie's Italian Chicken" 
Cheddar garlic biscuits
Italian salad

I created the "ambiance" 
Josh took this one. I forgot to take one of the table with food or before! LOL 
Poppie's Italian Chicken
  • 1 cup of miracle whip
  • 1  bottle of Italian Dressing
  • 4 Frozen Chicken breast ( I used 3 this particular night)
  • Marinate chicken in 1/2 bottle of Italian dressing (I marinated the chicken while we were at work)
  • mix miracle whip and other half of bottle of dressing into a bowl. 
  • Heat oven to 425
  • Remove chicken from marinade. Place in a deep pan. Pour mix over chicken.
  • Cook chicken until desired crispiness. 











Italian Salad
  • Lettuce
  • Parmesan  cheese
  • cucumbers
  • Italian dressing
  • onions
  • Whatever vegtables you like- tomatoes, olives, ect. 





 Cheddar Garlic Biscuits
  • Buy cheddar garlic biscuit mix and cook accordingly :) Hard right?? LOL










To finish off the dinner I turned on some Love songs :) 

Josh was so surprised, and he felt so loved. He just kept telling me how much he appretiated it. We even fit a slow dance in there, it was a beautiful date night just us at home. 

Investing in our spouses is worth the effort and time. Do something today to make your spouse feel loved!  

Love Aunt LaLa

    Good idea! The chicken sounds like something Gramps would like. How often you going to do this? Once a month? Love the idea!!

    You are always such a sweet and loving wife from what I can tell, and I know Josh must feel very loved. I remember in our earlier days of marriage, I did a better job doing little things like this (although I was never a great cook). I really need to make a romantic dinner for my hubby again soon! :-)

One year ago today my life changed

One year ago today a new season in my life was manifested. One year ago this morning around 2am we lost our precious baby. Hope would be around 4 months right now had she been meant to stay on this earth. Even though my heart is broken I feel Gods presence with me today, so strong. Through many talks and prayers with my God, I made it through these last few days without being devastated. Through my obiedance I believe God gave more healing to my heart. Sunday morning was extremely difficult. But I received so much support. Physically, mentally, and spiritually. My sweet friends and family held me hand, rubbed my back, gave me hugs as I stood for the first time as a mom on the stage with the rest of the moms. I can not even begin to describe how much they helped. I know without their support and God's supernatural strength I wouldn't have made it through. As I left service I felt a little lighter, a little bit of that dark grief left. Last night was our women...

Never dreamed...

Starting last Monday this week was a complete roller coaster. Not sure if I could ever explain to anyone how painful it has been. I've struggled with if I should write about my experience. To write about something so close to you can make you seem so vulnerable. Writing has always helped me. I've kept a journal since I was nine. I've always been very analytical with my feelings and things going on around me. Which is why I have a journal, a prayer journal, and a blog :) Crazy, I know. I usually don't have much time to write in any of them, but the blog. I wonder how many women suffer silently because of what this one even does to us emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I don't want to suffer alone. I needed to know that what I'm feeling is normal. Even though people can be very sympathetic, some seem like it is no big deal. It was a big deal. And every second with the Lords help I'm making it. Last Monday night I had a miscarriage. Even as I type ...

I am the mom not you

Through out my life there have been many times where unsolicited advice has been overwhelming, frustrat ing ,and hurtful. There has been three times that it was all the three above. 1. When I got married 2. When I had a miscarriage 3. When I had Ethan A few months ago I asked mothers to send me things that pertained to mothering their children. Some responses were heartbreaking and made me m ad to be honest . Some were your typical insensitive things that people say. I started writing this post to give examples, but I could not continue because honestly I was getting too angry. Some of the moms I have talked to have really suffered in silence by what some others have called "help" or just saying their opinions because they "care". My heart hurts so bad for these women.  I am a pretty bold person. I have had my moments where I have had to kindly put some one in their place. I also have had to be firm. Mothers need to feel empowered! These...
