Greetings everyone! Ok, where did Spring go? I really liked the 70's! Oh well...I'm sure it will be back soon enough. I am just too impatient! In the mean time , I hope you all are having another wonderful week. Daylight savings time has messed me up a little bit. I am not thrilled that it is so dark in the mornings, but I do like how it stays light longer in the day. My daughter Morgan is still getting used to it as well! Her sleeping schedules are a little off!
I have been busy updating our event calendar for Kira's Cottage Christian Store and creating pages on facebook for the store. So, if any of you are on facebook and haven't joined, check out my fan page! Just search for Kira's Cottage Christian Store! SO, we have a full calendar with so many fun events! Check it out above! I am always working on new and fun things to do at the store, so check back often! By next week, I am hoping to have the art class schedule done through August. Look for fun new classes like basket making, acrylic painting, and scratchboard!
This week, I wanted to make the bible verse about patience. I have a hard time with this at times. I want things now, not later. I want Spring now, not later. But it is important to remember that God gives us so many special gifts, we just may have to wait longer than we want at times!
Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains. James 5:7 NIV
Don't Forget to take the new poll to the right. These polls are helping me make decisions about the store, so we want your help!!!

3 tablespoons fat-free half-and-half
1 tablespoon light butter, whipped (or light buttery spread)
1/4 teaspoon salt (with additional salt and pepper to taste)

Directions

2Once water is boiling, add peeled potato cubes and cauliflower. Wait for the water to return to a boil, and then reduce heat to medium. Cook for 15 - 20 minutes (until potatoes and cauliflower are very tender).
3Remove the pot from heat and strain out all of the water. Transfer contents to a large bowl, and add half & half, butter/buttery spread, salt, and (if you like) crushed garlic. Mash it all together with a potato masher, until completely blended. Season to taste with pepper and additional salt. Enjoy!
