Foam Hand Cleaner


                                                                                                                             






Romans 15:4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.



1 T any liquid hand soap (I use Soft Soap)
1T dish detergent (Optional)
Warm water (fill old foam soap dispenser leaving 1/2 inch head space)
I like to use essential oil for fragrance and 1 drop of food coloring for color. (Optional)
Shake gently, you don't want a lot of bubbles because it will ruin your pump!

Outstanding Window /Glass Cleaner

                                                                                                             




Job 2:10 But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?"In all this Job did not sin with his lips. 


This is so good!! Use on windows that are cool to the touch. The clean and shine are awesome! Just remember to shake before each use. The cost is amazing too, around $.50 a bottle!


1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup rubbing alcohol
1 Tablespoon cornstarch
2 cups warm water
Empty spray bottle

Stromboli Puttanesca

                                                                                                                     







1Thess.2:4 
but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts.



1 lb ground turkey, browned
1 leek sliced and creamed with1/4 c heavy cream
1/2 c Parmesan cheese
1 cream of mushroom soup
1/2 c Puttanesca sauce (I used DelGrosso Uncle Jim's late night) 
salt and pepper to taste
1t minced garlic
1 beaten egg
2 fresh pizza dough balls from Publix

Set dough balls on counter for 1 hour so they can rise. Leave them in the bag.
Brown meat. Add the soup. Simmer until thickened. Remove from skillet. 
Slice white part of leek very thin and saute in a drizzle of olive oil. Keep stirring so they will separate into strings.
Add garlic after the leeks are tender. Add cream and cook until thickened. 
Add the meat back in with the leek mixture. Add cheese and sauce.  
Mash dough with fingers and shape into 8x14 rectangle. 
Fill leaving 1 inch all the way around so you can seal it. 
Brush the 1 inch border with egg, fold one side over the other, seam on the side (close to the bottom) and pinch the border together.
Pinch a couple of small holes in the top for steam to escape.
Brush top with rest of egg.
Bake 400 for 30 minutes. 
Let rest for 10 minutes before cutting in 2 inch slices. Makes 2 Stromboli.
