Quote form Evangelii Gaudium Chapter One

"More than by fear of going astray, my hope is that we will be moved by the fear of remaining shut up within structures which give us a false sense of security, within rules that make us harsh judges, within habits with make us feel safe, while at our door people are starving and Jesus does not tire of saying to us: 'Give them something to eat' (Mark 6:37) "

Pope Francis

Time to step outside our comfort zone.

Asparagus, Bacon, Corn and Sweet Potato Skillet

I love when beautiful things come about by piecing together pre-existing parts you never thought belonged together. I realized on Thursday that I had a half a bunch of asparagus and a sweet potato that I needed to cook before they went bad, so to Pinterest I flew! I did a quick search for asparagus and sweet potato and found this amazing recipe off of Barefeet in the Kitchen! It is super quick, super simple and so delicious! I was amazed by how much flavor was in this simple dish! Enjoy!

Friday Favorites

Oy with the poodles already. Summer has just flown by. While I haven't traveled too much this summer, this summer was busy between actually working all summer (missing that teacher life...), trying to do ALL the Philly summer things and...whomp whomp, studying for the GRE. BUT, I finally took the GRE last week and the next step of the application for graduate school can begin! I'm giving myself a challenge of actually trying to post more regularly on here, so we'll see how that goes. Working on some upcoming things, but as for now, here are some Friday Favorites!
