Peanut butter cups

The other day, when I was surfing the web, I came across this blog. I was really excited to find a blog by a Christian mom and of course it helps that she has really cute kids. One of her recipes was for homemade peanut butter cups. I tried them out, and they are really good.

Here's the recipe.

Enjoy!

Today's Psalm

25 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

 O my God, in you I trust;

let me not be put to shame;

let not my enemies exult over me.

 Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame;

they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous.

 Make me to know your ways, O Lord;

teach me your paths.

 Lead me in your truth and teach me,

for you are the God of my salvation;

for you I wait all the day long.

 Remember your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love,

for they have been from of old.

 Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions;

according to your steadfast love remember me,

for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!

 Good and upright is the Lord;

therefore he instructs sinners in the way.

 He leads the humble in what is right,

and teaches the humble his way.

 All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness,

for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.

 For your name's sake, O Lord,

pardon my guilt, for it is great.

 Who is the man who fears the Lord?

Him will he instruct in the way that he should choose.

 His soul shall abide in well-being,

and his offspring shall inherit the land.

 The friendship of the Lord is for those who fear him,

and he makes known to them his covenant.

 My eyes are ever toward the Lord,

for he will pluck my feet out of the net.

 Turn to me and be gracious to me,

for I am lonely and afflicted.

 The troubles of my heart are enlarged;

bring me out of my distresses.

 Consider my affliction and my trouble,

and forgive all my sins.

 Consider how many are my foes,

and with what violent hatred they hate me.

 Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me!

Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.

 May integrity and uprightness preserve me,

for I wait for you.

 Redeem Israel, O God,

out of all his troubles.

Spring has sprung

Congratulations Spring! You're here. Stay awhile won't you?

Frosting

Doesn't this look delicious?And it's all non-dairy. Here's the recipe:

• 1 can coconut milk
• 1/4 cup plus 1 T cocoa powder
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• sweetener to taste (I used a little stevia, but any dry sweetener will do.)

Open the coconut milk, and leave the can (or transfer to a bowl) uncovered in the fridge overnight. (Don’t shake the can before opening.) It should get very, very thick. (If it doesn’t, you’ve gotten a bad can that won’t work for the recipe. I highly recommend Thai Kitchen, or especially Thai Kitchen Organic.) Once thick, transfer to a bowl (you can opt to leave out the watery bit at the bottom of the can, if you want it even thicker) and whip in your cocoa, vanilla, and sweetener with a fork, or even beaters if you want to be fancy. (For the photos on this page, I didn’t use beaters. But I did pipe the mousse out using an icing tip.) Stored uncovered in the fridge, the mixture gets even thicker.
