Hi Everyone,
Thanks for stopping by my kitchen. With fall just around the corner the tomatoes are just about done in the garden so Jim and I are taking advantage of these wonderful treats and enjoying them as much as possible. Below is my recipe for my tomato/onion salad. Give it a try and let me know how you like it.
Tomato/Onion Salad
3-4 medium size tomatoes
1 small onion
onion and garlic powdered
salt and pepper
thyme
sugar
italian seasoning
apple cider vinegar
canola oil
Clean, cored and chop the tomato. Peel and thinly slice the onion and pull rings apart and add to tomatoes. Season with onion and garlic powder, salt and pepper, and thyme. Add 1/3 cup of sugar (more can be added if you want it sweeter). Add 1/4 cup of the oil and 1/2 cup of vinegar. Toss together and taste to see if more seasoning, sugar, vinegar or oil is needed. I make mine on the sweet side, but it still has a little bite from the vinegar. Chill for about an hour and serve. You will have a lot of juice which Jim and I love to dip good, crusty Italian bread in.
Let me know how it turns out.
Thanks for stopping by and visiting here in my kitchen. You are always welcome here.
Love and Hugs,
Janet

Entertaining Angels! What is Hospitality?
Hi Everyone,
How is everyone today? I hope all are fine and doing well. We are doing fine here in Vandergrift, Pennsylvania. Sometimes when I am reading other blogs they so inspire me and that is what I am going to do today. First a question and then a couple of answers.
What is hospitality?
According to Mr. Webster, hospitality is:
"The act or practice of receiving and entertaining strangers or guest without reward, or with kind and generous liberality."
Great definition Mr. Webster.
Now let's look at what the Bible has to tell us about hospitality.
Hebrews 13:2
"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares."
So the scriptural definition of hospitality is when you entertain those who have come for a visit, whether you know them or not and well you treat them.
I would like to think that when you all visit my blog, you are angels that have come to visit. I hope and pray that I have treated you special because that is my intent. You are all angels to me. Please always feel welcome. I am glad you stopped by for a visit. Come any time.
Hugs,
Janet

Dinner with Jimmy
Hi Everyone,
We just finished having dinner with our son Jimmy. He gets off work at 4:00 and his wife doesn't get of till 5:30 so on Wednesdays he has dinner with us and his wife has dinner her family because they live closer to church. Then we all meet at the church. This was something the kids decided on their own. They often have dinner with us or with Brittany's parents on Sundays and sometimes they want to have dinner just the two of them.
Tonight we had:
roast chicken
au gratin potatoes with extra cheese
tossed salad with my homemade italian salad dressing
The guys enjoyed the dinner which makes me happy. I love to cook and bake and it make the job a lot easier and more enjoyable when those you cook and bake for truly appreciate it.
Well we will be off to church here shortly. Wednesdays are Bible study and Pastor Skelly is teaching the book of James which is really great.
So how was your day today?
Hugs,
Janet

A New Recipe
Hi Everyone,
Today I thought I would share a recipe with you that I hope will truly encourage you. One of the best foods that you can eat is fruit and vegetables. They are full of all the good things that our bodies needs. Yes, we need grains and protein also but I thought what I would recommend today is fruit. Only this fruit is spiritual fruit.
Galatians 5:22-23
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against such there is no law."
These verses are great and I need reminded about them all the time. I fall short everyday.
I hope I have encouraged you today. May you always have good health is all ways.
Love and Hugs,
Janet

Tomorrow: Resurrection Sunday
Hi Everyone,
Yes tomorrow is Resurrection Sunday. I look forward to this very special day as I remember the resurrection of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I also look forward to the special time in church and we praise and worship the Lord Jesus. It is always good to be in the House of the Lord worshiping, learning, and fellowshipping with my brothers and sisters in the Lord.
Tomorrow after church we will gather with family, have a special Easter meal and just spend some special time with our family.
We will have potato salad, ham, pickled beets and eggs, baked beans, and deviled eggs. If you want to try some new in your potato salad use Marzetti's Cole Slaw dressing. It gives it a special zing and it is delicious. I also added it to my filling for the deviled eggs.
Well I pray everyone has a blessed Resurrection Sunday.
God bless all of you and hugs from me,
Janet
