So I have been a bit busy lately and haven’t been a diligent blogger, so I thought I would put together a post today that was something fun and different. Below you will see that I have embedded a screen shot of a Pinterest board I made for this post. I could not, for the life of me, get the widget to work, so I went along another route to share some easy ideas with you. So click away below and find a few easy things to try out!

Earlier this summer, I did an improvised version of the Eggplant Pizza recipe – it was delicious! I used the recipe guidelines for preparing the eggplant and then cooked together garlic, onion, tomato, and a couple other ingredients and topped it all with mozzarella. I have not yet tried that fancy grilled sandwich recipe, but it definitely looks tasty.

In other news, August brought some hard times to multiple members of my extended family and so I have been a bit preoccupied and stressed the last few weeks. Things have eased up a bit, but it is hard not to feel a bit burnt out from balancing working extra hours and helping family. To those who have been praying, thank you so much for your prayers and consideration! I hope that these upcoming weeks will go well.

A few weeks ago, I started a personal resolution to get into better shape and I have not been perfect at it – getting into shape feels a lot like hard work! This morning, I went for a mile-and-a-half walk/jog up on the next hill ridge from my house here in town. A cold front has moved in and the weather is beautiful! Fall is a great time to enjoy the outdoors and festivities.

Thank you for reading today’s post! I hope to share my own photos as soon as I can!
