Do you have faith that God can do anything?

One of my favorite lines from the song RATTLE! says:

🎵 “Is there anything that He can’t do?�Just ask the stone that was rolled at the tomb in the garden.�What happens when God says to move?” 🎵

Sometimes it’s hard to trust God’s perfect plan and timing for our lives. We may not always understand what He’s doing, and the waiting can be difficult. But when we choose to trust Him, put Him first, and listen for His still, small voice, we begin to see that God is always at work.

God is in control. His plans are greater than our own, His timing is perfect, and His love for us never fails. Even when we can’t see the path ahead, we can have peace knowing that He is leading the way.

Trust Him. He knows exactly what He’s doing!

On this Mother’s Day Weekend, I think it’s only fitting to make one of my favorite dishes my mama used to make!

When I was a kid, my mama would always make “taters and onions” which was a simple roasted potato dish that was just layers of thinly sliced potatoes and onions with lots of butter and salt and pepper! So simple, yet so delicious!

As I am prepping these potatoes, I can’t help but think of my mama! Ain’t that one of the best things about passing down recipes from generation to generation?

Each time I make one of my mama’s dishes, I instantly get a smile on my face and my mind is filled of so many wonderful memories of her!

What are some of your favorite recipes from your mom or grandma? I’d love to hear them!

Happy Mother’s Day in Heaven mama!

When Taco Tuesday falls on Cinco de Mayo…. You HAVE to do something special!!

Today’s menu is some brisket birria tacos! I started out this morning with a brisket flat and I seasoned it up with a little Valentina hot sauce, Sazon seasoning and Spanglish Asadero Carne Asada seasoning.

This brisket flat is in for a 3-4 hour smoke bath on the Recteq RT-700 until it’s ready to be panned up with some chilis, tomatoes, beef stock and seasoning! Stay tuned!

Sometimes you just gotta break out the Dutch oven and some seafood breader and make something a little naughty!!

Tonight’s dinner was homemade tater chips sliced super thin on the mandolin with homemade ranch and shrimp Po”Boys with homemade remoulade sauce!

This was a fantastic dinner! Something a little different!
