Good afternoon everyone and Welcome to yet another edition to Recipe-Lovers. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of the newest members that have joined us and a great big thank you to all of you who continue to support me.
I hope you are having a wonderful week. Sorry I have not been publishing lately. We have been swamped between the runny noses, tummy aches and running here and there trying to get things done. The kids seem on the mend. They still have a stuffy nose but nobody has complained of a tummy ache today. What a relief! Other that that we have just been extremely busy with life. Amazing how that happens when you least expect it. One day you feel like you have done nothing and the next, Wow! And speaking of busy, I better get going. It is almost time to start supper so I can get Samantha to Brownies tonight.
Have a great day and enjoy the recipes! I look forward to seeing you all in a few days! Remember if you can't read it here you can read it online at *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hi, Just wanted to stop by and ask you to please pray for a friend of mine. I just learned that the fiancée of my friend, Allison Bunton, was shot while on duty at the elections in Iraq. He was shot by sniper fire and got shot in the leg, has had surgery and is in the hospital over there. We are not sure just when he may be able to get home, but Please, Please offer your prayers up for his safety. We were all terribly upset to hear this news, he was due to be coming home in just over a month. He and Allison were planning to be married and start their life together. That will still happen, but its joy has been over shadowed by this tragedy. Thank you for your prayers....KT
KT, all of us at Recipe-Lovers will be praying for Allison Bunton. May God bless him and watch over him as he continues to heal. May God be with the family and friends and they watch over Allision. We pray for all of our heroes protecting our great country. May God give them the strength the need to see us through this time. May he comfort their families and bring all of our hero’s home safe from harm. May God bless you all.
Do you have a prayer request or a special day you would like to announce? If so please forward it on to me at Prayer Request *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* *Party Pleasers

Good morning everyone and Welcome to yet another edition to Recipe-Lovers. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of the newest members that have joined us and a great big thank you to all of you who continue to support me.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. We had some pretty nice weather here. It was a nice weekend for the kids. Spencer won an award at school that is only given out to 1 child in the school. So we told him we would let him have “his” day and he could pick a place to eat out. So Saturday morning he woke up and wanted to go to IHop because Samantha had a free meal for her birthday. Not because he wanted a smiley face pancake. Ok. I believe it. Not! So off we went for smiley pancakes. He wanted to go to the mall and then to the pet store. A few weeks ago one of our Guppies had 12 babies and he wants more fish! So what did we do….it was “Spencers Day” we bought more fish! And too boot…all the females are pregnant! I do believe we will be moving into two tanks very soon. Saturday evening we were off to eat Chinese. Spencer was in the mood for crawfish and shrimp. We may have over did his day a tad but you know….we sure had a good time! Tonight we are off to a musical my daughter is in. This will be a great treat for us. I am really excited about seeing her in the show. I am sure I will have to load my pockets with tissues. For some reason when you see them on stage you tend to get watery eyes. I haven’t exactly figured a cure for that yet. I have to run. I hope you enjoy the recipes!
Have a great day and enjoy the recipes! I look forward to seeing you all in a few days! Remember if you can't read it here you can read it online at *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Good morning everyone and Welcome to yet another edition to Recipe-Lovers. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of the newest members that have joined us and a great big thank you to all of you who continue to support me.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. We really didn’t do a lot here. Samantha was out of school a couple days last week with an ear infection. She is doing much better now. We finally have the great weather we have been wanting however today it is suppose to start raining. Spencer came in from school the other day and wanted to call a girl at school. We told him he had to be at least 7 before he could use the phone. He said he really needs to have a discussion with her. I told him you are not even 6 yet you will have to talk with her at school. He promptly replied that he needed the keys, that he will drive to her house since I do not know how to get there. I do believe now might be a good time to hide the phone and the keys. I can just see him taking off to have this discussion that is so important. I asked what it was about and he said she is teasing him and not being to nice. He wants to know why. Now funny thing, she gave him her phone number. Sounds like puppy love in the making to me.
I have had members write and ask me about my publishing schedule. Some not so pleasant and others very understanding. When I resumed publishing I pulled back to a couple times a week. However, I do have a family that I have to place first as well as other issues. I plan to increase the publishing when time allows but here lately I have been swamped. Sorry for the inconvenience and I appreciate your continued support.
Have a great day and enjoy the recipes! I look forward to seeing you all in a few days! Remember if you can't read it here you can read it online at *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Good morning everyone and Welcome to yet another edition to Recipe-Lovers. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of the newest members that have joined us and a great big thank you to all of you who continue to support me.
I hope you are having a wonderful week. It is pouring here! I am hoping to get this out to you before the lightening starts up but I hear it is suppose to be very nasty out today. I have one little guy home sick today. It seems this respiratory stuff just never ends. I am ready for summer. I am going to get into the newsletter quick today, have to beat the storm. If you haven’t been to the site lately, please stop by. I have been very busy over there. I have added recipes, pages, reworked pages like the Archives. Completely re-done. I am not done yet. I am so excited about the changes. It took months to figure out something I was trying to do to add pages. For some reason that one step I kept missing just wouldn’t not make things work. The other day I was sitting here thinking what in the world and all of a sudden it was like someone turned the smart bulb on and it worked! I found what I was doing wrong and got it. I keep telling my husband “aren’t you proud of me, I did it!” I was doing cart wheels. I am so glad you weren’t a mouse in the corner you probably would have run for the hills. I have to get busy.
Have a great day and enjoy the recipes! I look forward to seeing you all in a few days! Remember if you can't read it here you can read it online at *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

House & took furniture etc which was his to begin with before he married this woman, they are also trying to sell His House that belonged to him, It is now in a lawyers hands, also his bank account was frozen & he is going through a very rough time. My heart goes out to him. I have had many prayers answered through you & your group. Thanking everyone in advance. God Bless everyone. Dorothy
Dorothy, all of us at Recipe-Lovers will be praying for your friend. May God be him and watch over him as he goes through this.

Good afternoon everyone and Welcome to yet another edition to Recipe-Lovers. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of the newest members that have joined us and a great big thank you to all of you who continue to support me.
I hope you are having a wonderful week. We have been staying busy as usual. Yesterday I went to the dentist. Ouch! That is about all I can say this morning. I had a root canal done and then he decided hey since your numb why not do some more work. So this morning I am not exactly a happy camper. Stuart is sick today as well. I sure wish the weather would make up its mind so these kids can get over this stuff. Short of all that we are doing pretty good. I had student conferences last night. Of course I had let it slip my mind and fortunately one of the teachers called so both teachers waited for me. You know, you kind of worry when they say they will wait on you. But happy to report all went great! This afternoon I have one last conference to go to and that should do it. I don’t know about you but even though I know the kids are doing well in school and they are good kids I still feel like I am being sent to the principals office when it comes to conference time. But I love the feeling when I walk out and find out all went well. It is hard to believe in a short few months school will be over. I am already planning up the summer. And Samantha told me she has a dollar in her room and wanted to let me know she is going to start spending money. I had to laugh. Just how much money is this 7 year old going to start spending? I have to get going if this is going to get out to you today.
Have a great day and enjoy the recipes! I look forward to seeing you all in a few days! Remember if you can't read it here you can read it online at Recipe-Lovers Newsletter *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Good afternoon everyone and Welcome to yet another edition to Recipe-Lovers. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all of the newest members that have joined us and a great big thank you to all of you who continue to support me.
I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. It is raining here but we have stayed strong and braved shopping all morning. I just needed a pair of jeans at the mall. I have to say that was the most entertaining trip I have tacken yet. Not only did they have too many jeans to pick from but I took the four kids with me. Now they did pretty good until the cell phone wrang. That was like a green light for them to start pushing and pulling and just clowning around. Meanwhile I am trying to talk on the phone, shop and grab kids from under the rack. Oh my! So glad to be home. I have a small break before I have to pick Samantha up from a birthday party. I took her to the party and you guessed it took the boys shopping. They were absolutely wonderful. I think it had something to do with the cookies I picked up for them at the very start of it. I have to get busy here. Have a terrific weekend!
Have a great day and enjoy the recipes! I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine’s Day! Happy Valentine’s Day! I look forward to seeing you all in a few days!

Hi Linda, Could you please ask everybody to say a prayer for my family? My husband lost his job a month ago and has been looking every day for a job, but so far has found nothing. We lost our health insurance, and I was only able to afford coverage for myself and our son on the insurance where I work. For all 3 of us, it's over $600 per month! We cut our son's daycare down from 5 days a week to 2 days to save money. We're going to cancel the cable soon and the phone won't be too far behind. Could you please pray that we get some money soon and that my husband can find a job with benefits soon? Thanks so much! Debbie
Debbie, all of us at Recipe-Lovers will be praying for you and your family. May God watch over for you and care for you. May he guide you and lead you to the job you are looking for.

Valentines Day was originally created as a substitute. In the fifth century A.D., the Catholic Church attempted to be rid of a common pagan fertility rite that the Romans had been taking part in since the fourth century B.C. Every year the Romans celebrated a young man's rite of passage to the god Lupercus by holding a lottery in mid-February. The names of willing teenage girls were placed in a box and drawn at random by teenage men. By this lottery a young man was assigned a young woman companion for their mutual pleasure (often sexual) for the duration of a year. After the year was up another lottery was held. As Christianity spread and the leaders of the Church resolved to do away with this practice by picking a "lover's" saint to replace the god Lupercus. They picked Valentine, a bishop who had been martyred in the third century A.D. for the cause of love.

In 270 A.D. Emperor Claudius had issued an edict forbidding marriage because believed that married men made poor soldiers, not wanting to leave their families to go to battle. Valentine, bishop of Interamna, disagreed with the emperor and invited young lovers to come to him in secret to be married. When Claudius found that he was performing secret marriage ceremonies, he was incensed. He had Valentine seized and brought before him. When Valentine refused to change his views and renounce Christianity, he was put in prison to await execution. In February of 270, Valentine was clubbed, stoned, and then beheaded.

Tradition says that while Valentine was in prison he corresponded with those under his care by sending little letters and love notes to those in his parish. It is also believed that while he was in prison the bishop fell in love with the blind daughter of the jailer, Asterius and that God enabled him to miraculously restore her sight. Tradition tells us that his farewell message to her contained a closing that transcended time: "From Your Valentine".

In A.D. 496, Pope Gelasius outlawed the Lupercian festival, but cleverly retained the lottery, because he was aware of the Roman's love for games of chance. But now instead of names of women in the box, there were placed names of saints. Men and women both picked slips of paper and for the upcoming year they were expected to imitate the life of the saint whose name they had drawn. And St. Valentine was advanced as the overseer of the whole thing. It took some time for this new tradition to take hold, but eventually, more and more Romans relinquished the Lupercian festival and replaced it with St. Valentines Day.

Traditionally, mainly due to the Lupercian lottery, mid-February was a Roman time to meet and court prospective mates. While the Lupercian lottery was replaced, most Roman young men were not totally satisfied with the lottery of saints' names and the new lottery did not last long. Instead the young men instituted a custom of offering women they admired and wished to court handwritten greetings of affection on February 14. The cards became known as Valentine's Day Cards.

In America, Valentine's Day did not become a tradition until around the time of the Civil War (1861-65). Miss Esther Howland is given credit for creating the first commercial valentines in the United States. She got the idea from her father, a stationer in Worcester, MA, who had been importing valentines from England.

Valentines Day Candy House
Get your family together and make these adorable Valentines Day houses.
Each person will need the following: a sturdy paper plate to sit their house on, a small square box such as a pint size milk or juice carton enough graham crackers to cover their boxes
Everyone will need easy access to the following: Melted white chocolate to use for glue Arrangement of bowls of candies and other edible decorations such as: Conversation hearts, chocolate kisses, pretzels, red, pink & white sprinkles, colored sugars, red hots, coconut,
How to Put the House Together: Simply paint the crackers and the box with the melted white chocolate and put the crackers where you want them on the house in order to cover it. For the roof it is easier to just lay the graham cracker down flat instead of trying to angle 2 together for the roof.
Then use the melted chocolate to adhere the candies to the house. Sprinkle with powdered sugar for a frosting of light snow.
Display your Valentines Day town for all to see. Don't forget to get some pictures of the cute houses and the fun time making them. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* *Just the Two of Us*

I hope you are having a wonderful week. Sorry I have not been publishing lately. We have been swamped between the runny noses, tummy aches and running here and there trying to get things done.

Amazing how that happens when you least expect it. One day you feel like you have done nothing and the next, Wow! And speaking of busy, I better get going. It is almost time to start supper so I can get Samantha to Brownies tonight.
Have a great day and enjoy the recipes! I look forward to seeing you all in a few days! Remember if you can't read it here you can read it online at *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hi, Just wanted to stop by and ask you to please pray for a friend of mine. I just learned that the fiancée of my friend, Allison Bunton, was shot while on duty at the elections in Iraq. He was shot by sniper fire and got shot in the leg, has had surgery and is in the hospital over there. We are not sure just when he may be able to get home, but Please, Please offer your prayers up for his safety. We were all terribly upset to hear this news, he was due to be coming home in just over a month. He and Allison were planning to be married and start their life together. That will still happen, but its joy has been over shadowed by this tragedy. Thank you for your prayers....KT
KT, all of us at Recipe-Lovers will be praying for Allison Bunton. May God bless him and watch over him as he continues to heal. May God be with the family and friends and they watch over Allision. We pray for all of our heroes protecting our great country. May God give them the strength the need to see us through this time. May he comfort their families and bring all of our hero’s home safe from harm. May God bless you all.
