Moving to the mountains was one of the most profound, soul-wakening things we ever could have done. This is our second winter here in Bend, totally different than last year, where we were buried in snow.
Honestly, friends, I’m grateful for every view, walk and run, snowflake or raindrop, friends who’ve come to visit us & new friends and new experiences. Every day is such a gift, I truly am so grateful.
We have friends who have gone through some incredibly heartbreaking experiences these past weeks. Our hearts go out to these families, as we pray for faith & courage for them as they rebuild their lives.
Here’s another reason why we need friends and others in our lives. When hard times come, we need people to stand with us. People you can trust & turn to when life takes its inevitable unpredictable turns.
People can come and just sit with you. Like when my husband’s father passed, my aunt and uncle came to our house and brought a pie. They just sat with us for hours. It was incredible. My husband and I still talk about how profound their presence was in our lives, when we needed them most.
Food heals and binds and brings people together, even in painful times.
Excuse my nostalgia here, but I’m really missing my college daughter today!
I think of the food she cooks when she is home (she is a WAY better cook than I am), and how passionate she is about it.
In fact, when a college-mate passed away from a tragic accident a few months ago, Abby called me and said, mom, would you pay for the groceries if I take enchiladas to the “guys’” house? (Five guys lived together, with the young man who had a hiking accident).
Of course, my sweet, caring, sensitive, thoughtful girl. So Abby took several large pans Green Enchilada Chicken Bake Casserole to be devoured by all.
Again, food binds and heals.

Hello and welcome to my home and table!

Such a great post. You are right, food binds us as we join together to share a meal or bring something comforting to a friend who is hurting or down. And so thoughtful of your sweet girl. This morning I woke up to read a post on FB written by my youngest (who is a goofball, silly, sassy, but can also write some very deep things). She was reflecting on her role as a youth leader and how she literally has grown up her entire life immersed in this because we were youth pastors when they were little. To hear her write about how it impacted her, and how much she loves leading with her older sis and BIL (who are youth pastors) touched me on a deeper level.
What a great gift to wake up to. Our kids are such a blessing, it’s fun to see them grow and express what impacts them!
Your daughter sounds like she has a big heart!
Is the ginger split in the recipe because 1 TBSP goes in the marinade and 2 TBSP for the rice? This sounds like a delicious recipe – not too saucy but still with lots of flavor. thanks!
I fixed the recipe (sigh). Thanks Gina!
You and your husband are such great parents! See how your values and lessons have been instilled in your children? I got teary-eyed when you mentioned how much you miss your daughter who’s off to college. I have a 9th grader this year and I’m already dreading the day he leaves. But look, you did such an amazing job with her and she’s become a beautifully spirited young lady who cares about others. That makes my heart smile.
The recipe sounds amazing as well. Can’t wait to try it. Pulled chicken breast out for dinner so I’m thinking this might be on the menu tonight. Happy Monday!
You just wait, it only gets better! Thank you! Yes, EASY chicken – enjoy!
