Continue...In Patience

Traci Garff and Brother and Sister Braithwaite spoke this Sunday on President Uchtdorf's conference talk: continue in patience. It was the best sacrament meeting I have attended in a long time and I felt Heavenly Father's love for ME because it was exactly what I needed to hear. They spoke of enduring well...knowing that God has a higher purpose and really knows you and has your best interest at heart. When you look back from the mountain later, you can see how He guided your life and carried you through. GROWTH and JOY can be more in the waiting than the receiving. I am thankful for a Heavenly Father who knows and loves me.

Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall

Today...

1. Ran a mile in my best time in a long time (9:43) and had an awesome workout with Tracy @ Zumba.

2. Ate 2 yum-yum No-Bake Cookies

3. Helped Chelsea sweep and mop behind the refrigerator, washing machine, and dryer. Washed windows, cleaned the curtains. She swept the nasty spider-web ridden porch and garage (bless you child).

4. Went to work for half a day and got all files audited. Yay~

5. Mom and Dad are making progress in packing and the renovations on the house are moving along--new tile in bathroom, carpets cleaned, new stove and sink. Can't wait for Christmastime!

Homemade Egg Rolls

These egg rolls are baked instead of fried, and use ground turkey instead of ground pork (although you can substitute pork if you'd like) Although it takes awhile to prep the veggies, the result is well worth it!

Ingredients:

-1 medium head of cabbage, finely shredded
-1 carrot, grated
-1 zucchini, grated
-1 lb. ground turkey
-1 (16 oz.) pkg. egg roll wraps
-Olive Oil Pam Spray
-2 cloves of minced garlic
-Ginger Root (optional)
-Crushed Red Pepper (optional)
-Soy Sauce

Brown 1 lb. of ground turkey in saucepan and season with minced garlic,
2 Tbsp. Soy Sauce, and Ginger Root. Chop and grate vegetables and combine in a large bowl. Add turkey to vegetable mixture. Put 2 Tbsp. of mixture onto each wrap. Follow package directions for how to fold. Spray each wrap with PAM and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes until browned. Dip in soy sauce. Enjoy! **You could also use eggplant in this recipe and you can freeze the wraps before deciding to bake.
