Healthier Chocolate Peanut Butter Ice Cream Topping

1/2 c. freshly ground peanut butter
1 1/2 tsp. sucanat
1 TBSP. honey
1/3 c. whole milk
Melt together in a small saucepan on low.

Add: 3 TBSP. chocolate chips
Stir just until melted.

If consistency is not thin enough add 1/8 cup half and half plus 1 tsp. vanilla.
** I actually used about 1/8 cup vanilla coffee creamer so either would work.**

I wanted something for my ice cream and just whipped this up by adding things I thought would taste good together. It turned out delicious!!!!
Let me know what you think!

Good Morning Everyone!!!
I am so excited to get back on here and back into my blogging! I have not been very good about blogging so today starts a new try!!
I have a bunch of projects in the works:
1. I have been sewing up a storm! I made a Thirty-One knock off that looked more like something I got at a garage sale from the free bin so I am definitely going to be trying that again. I am in the middle of making my own rolled up paper towels. But bags are my favorite and I just found a class on craftsy.com that I want to take before getting too much more involved with those and last but not least, homemade sandwich/snack bags.
2. I am going to be teaching a class at my church's vacation Bible school this summer that I am super excited about! The class is how to make things out of Duck Tape so I have been busy getting together some ideas for that. Not to mention the practice!!
3. I am in love with SMASHBOOKS!!! I bought one for my birthday last year, put some stuff in it and sent it off to my sister in the next state over. She is getting ready to send it off this week to our other sister who lives 2 states over from her and then she, in turn, will send it back to me! We are very excited to share our thoughts and ideas with each other in this way. I will probably be messing around with my smashbook within the next couple of days so there should be a post about that coming up soon.
Lots of stuff going on, not to mention all the end-of-the-year stuff for my girls!!
Have a great week everyone,
Becky

Philippians Study Week 2: Day 5

Philippians 1:12-18

12 I want you to know, brothers,[a] that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, 13 so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard[b]and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. 14 And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word[c]without fear.
15 Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. 16 The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.

Philippians 2:1-5
So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition orconceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,


I Peter 3:15
15 but in your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect,


I Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Romans 10:9-17

because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says,“Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?[a] And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written,“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?”17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

Philippians Study Week 2: Day 4

Sorry I am a day late on this but hopefully everyone got their homework done anyway since it was only our Philippians verses we needed.

Philippians 1:12-18

12 I want you to know, brothers,[a] that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel, 13 so that it has become known throughout the whole imperial guard[b]and to all the rest that my imprisonment is for Christ. 14 And most of the brothers, having become confident in the Lord by my imprisonment, are much more bold to speak the word[c]without fear.
15 Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. 16 The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.

Philippians Study Week 2: Day 2

Hello Ladies,
These first two days were so easy I decided to go ahead and put both days in at once. All of the verses you need for day 2 are already in your books!! How awesome is that? Day one is just review so I only added the first 11 verses on my previous post.
Also, day 3 verses are just from Philippians so I am posting them today as well.

Have a great Jesus-filled week!!
Becky
