Soul Print by Mark Batterson

“There has never been and never will be anyone else like you. But that isn't a testament to you, It’s a testament to the God that created you.” 


Are you looking for a book that will encourage you?  Help you as you go through those tough times in life and also the good times?  Mark Batterson's Soul Print is all about how we can become better people by discovering who God wants us to be.  Mr. Batterson digs into the life of David that is rich with trials and glories to compare our lives.  David was a man after God's own heart and we know he fell down a lot!  We are shown that God's plan is bigger for us and not to give up.  


Though Mark Batterson's books are very popular, there are times in the book that weren't easy to read.  Sometimes, his thoughts seem a little scattered or maybe it was just me.  I would definitely recommend this book to others.  Just know, that you will be going slow to get the full depth of what your are being taught in the text.

Tabasco Original Red Sauce

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TABASCO® Original Red. All opinions are 100% mine.

TABASCO® Original Red is an amazing sauce to add to a variety of foods, including Pizza Perfected, vegetarian meals, non-vegetarian meals, you get the idea right?  

TABASCO® Original Red was the first sauce introduced by the McIlhenny family back in 1868 and continues to be their most popular sauce out of all six sauces!  TABASCO® Original Red is not about heat for heat's sake.  Its about what the heat does to the flavor of food.  The simple combination of salt, red pepper, and vinegar are perfected in a 3-year aging process that produces a hot sauce with the uncanny ability to bring the most out of your food.  Other hot sauces add their own specific flavor to food.  

Many of you know that my family and I are doing the Daniel Fast for 21 days (17 days left!) and TABASCO® Original Red has helped enhance the flavors of our vegetarian meals!  I'm so thankful for a little kick when the food starts to get bland and boring.  

I wanted to share a recipe that i have used Tabasco on so you could try it out too and see that it doesn't have to be all about the heat.

Red, Black and Yellow Delight Salad

1 can (15 oz) Black Beans, rinces and drained

2 c. frozen corn kernels

1 small red bell pepper, seeded and chopped

1/2 red onion, chopped

2 stalks celery, cut into small dices

1 1/2 t. ground cumin

1-2 t. TABASCO® Original Red

1 lime, juiced

2 T. vegetable or olive oil

Salt and pepper

4 lettuce leaves to use for serving (optional)

Mix all ingredients except for lettuce leaves, tossing lightly.  Allow the salad to stand at room temperature for at least 15 minutes which allows the flavors to fuse, and gives the corn time to thaw.

Makes 4 servings
