HOMEMADE HOT MUSTARD SAUCEPut in a saucepan;
1 cup dry mustard powder
2/3 cup Sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup vinegar
1 pinch of salt
1/8 tsp. Cayenne pepper
Stir in til smooth and let come
to a boil. Reduce heat to low,
for 10 minutes. Place mixture
in a mason jar and store in the
refrigerator for a few months
to use over steaks or any meat.
We love a good grilled steak! It has been our romantic mealto share together since we were dating. My hubbie is the one
who grills the steaks while I do the other part that goes on top.
While he grills, I am chopping the onions and frying them in butter withsalt and pepper. Just as they are getting soft I throw in a bunch of fresh
chopped mushrooms and let them sit in there with the onions and butter.
(Sometimes I cook some chopped up small red potatoes along with the onion.)
~And for dessert~

MOUTH-WATERING MACAROONSWhisk 2 eggs whites with 1/2 tsp. salt
in a large bowl until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold in one 14 oz. bag shredded
sweetened coconut and 3/4 cup of
sweetened condensed milk.
Stir 1 1/2 cups mini chocolate chips
nuts or dried cherries. Then scoop
2 inch balls and lay them about 1"
apart onto parchment lined baking
sheets. Bake at 300' til golden, about
25 minutes.
You can store these in an airtight container
for a good week. So good with a bowl of your
favorite ice cream... a movie and a snuggle!
Just a parting thought my friends...I think if we could remember who we were in our pre-mortal life, we would feel like this. I believe were really are children of God...he is our father. He has created such a beautiful world for us to live in as we face the trials and tests of this life, preparing for our lives to come with him and our Savior Jesus Christ. I believe that we were so excited for this opportunity that we shouted for JOY! I hope we are all staying in tune with our Heavenly Father and praying to him each day, for his help and guidance, and maybe a bit of a glimpse at who were were...that we might become that person here... as well as in the life to come. At least that thought helps me.. and I hope it helps you too my friends. With love and hugs to you, Julie

Yum, that mustard sounds wonderful, and easy. Right up my alley!!
Oh my, Oh my, Oh my, this mustard sauce sounds so gooooooood. I am going to try both recipes. I am a hot mustard freak so I am very excited about that one.
I liked your comments. Yesterday while at Papa's appt. I was reading the Deseret News. There was an article about a proclaimed feminist and atheist. This woman stated that she loves reading Mormon Mommy Blogs because it gives her a sense of comfort. She said they were like an escape for her. All of us little mormon women taking care of our families interests her but, not enough to change her life. I would think she would want to explore that feeling she gets. I don't know how anyone could not believe there is a God who loves us.
Hi Julie!
Yum, Yum! Nothing better than steak with spuds and onions! The hot mustard sauce looks amazing too - and the macaroons . . . there goes my diet, just looking at them made me gain weight!! I guess it is time to start thinking about a romantic dinner... ;0)
I love your thought about being inferior! I teach the 4th Sunday RS lesson and I am going to use this thought for my lesson, thank you! We truly need to stop worrying about the rest of the world, and remember who we are, we are daughter's of God, He loves us and wants us to return to Him. I sometimes look at those sweet little babies, straight from God's arms, and wish they could talk, what would they tell me? What message would they have for me? Thank you for sharing - just beautiful!!
Hugs,
Barb
Julie- What great recipes. I have not had macaroons in years! My mother loved them..and I don't think I have ever made them. Hugs- Diana
Oh my goodness, I am looking at your blog before I eat and my mouth is watering!! You have a whole meal there and it looks so good. TFS!

Your parting thoughts are wonderful. If the whole world knew than it would be a more wonderful place!
Both of these recipes look fabulous! And I love your thoughts on who we really are and how to stay intuned with our Father in Heaven. Thanks, Julie!

It all looks yummy!! Thanks for always sharing!
I'm working on a joint lesson to give to the YM/YW of our ward and I'm going to use President's Uchtdorf's talk and Mormon message on that very quote and story!! It's perfect! :-)

Yes, the steaks look waaaayyyy yummy! much to my saddness I can not cook a good steak! But the Mr can! I think we shall give the hot mustard sauce and steaks a try this week end. (all the sno has melted from around the grill! LOL)
I am a Child Of God.... I agree with what you said, " there are no ordinary people, for we are all offspring of God".
In response to our newest Grand baby post,
Cowboy Mom said this: "I wonder
if we could all feel the miracle of our OWN births If we would quit being so hard on our selfs." Ahh, so very true huh.
I'll be thinking of you as we ooooo and ahh over our steaks covered with onions and hot mustard sauce!
Enjoy

Oh Julie, that sauce looks wonderful and flavorful- the steak made my mouth water- so yummy! Loved your parting thought, such truth in that statement and we forget at times to feel the richness of his blessings. Thanks for that reminder :)
My Dr. Hubby loves a good steak with mushrooms.

Hi Julie, just got the chance to catch up and read blogs. The recipes sound so good! Thank you for sharing. Just love the photo and the words.........wonderful post! blessings, Kathleen (also from Eggs In My Pocket blog)
Can I just tell you how much I love sauteed mushrooms and onions? I made a big pan of them the other night to put over our chicken and by the time I poured it from the pan to the serving bowl there was only about a half a cup left. I had been sampling too much. I could make a meal of that alone. This steak sauce sounds so delicious.
You're one of the best cooks I know.
I'm making those macaroons tomorrow. Coconut is one of my favorites.
Wow Julie..that looks soooo good..
again,, it just wants to make me visit even more..lol..
thanks for sharing..

Honey I should know by now not to visit you unless I have just eaten. I always get so hungry after visiting you. lol
Gosh I don't know what looks better the sauce, steak or dessert.
Love you
Maggie
Your recipes always look and sound so tasty!!
Our Father promises us that it His goal to conform us into the image of Jesus Christ His son. That is a comfort to me! and speaking of comfort that food is scrumptious!
Good food AND great thoughts!
Julie! I ADORE macaroons...throw in some chocolate and I am SURE it is a tiny slice of heaven!
Just seeing those onions cooking in butter makes me drool! You always have such good recipes and things to try.
I just love the picture of Tiffany and Ella dressed alike! Just precious! Also the pictures of Caleb and Libby having so much fun in the snow. I remember doing that as a kid with our dog Ginger. :o)
Oh I see you have Easy Best Bread on your sidebar.....I must go take a look at that!
Thanks for sharing some more yummy recipes. Very encouraging words too:)
Have a warm and wonderful Sunday!
That mustard sauce looks absolutely divine! I will try that one for sure.
The steak looks so awesome I was sure I could smell it.
Beautiful thoughts from a beautiful lady. You are wonderful.

Oooh~ The hot mustard sounds wonderful, Julie... my hubby would love that! But the macaroons... if I make those they are ALL MINE!! *LOL*
Love your words, too... we must always remember this life is only temporary... and that a better life awaits us one day!
Hi Miss Julie! Coconut macaroons! Now why'd ya have to go and do that? Now I'll have to copy your recipe and do some! Mustard sounds good, too, and we haven't had a steak in a while...
I'm always glad to be here and let you inspire me, Julie. Thanks for always being bold and putting the precious name of Jesus out there for those of us who do not know Him. I don't know what people do that don't have the Lord walking by them daily!
Have a wonderful week!
Great recipes and inspiration! Have a wonderful week!!
blessings,
Jill
Oh you've got my mouth watering Julie! Love a good steak:)
I realize now how lucky I am and I bet you do to, that we were raised in the country. Now when I tell these stories, like playing in barns, it sounds like I am making it up or maybe it was something I saw on a movie, but it really did happen and it really was wonderful. By the way, you have the most beautiful family place where you call home. Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a fantastic day. Heidi
Truly brilliant!!! I need to do this. Thanks so much for sharing.
I'll bet that mustard sauce would be wonderful on ham also!!
Yummy...thanks for sharing sweetie!
xxoo,
RMW
I can smell the deliciousness all the way to British Columbia.
You are such a breath of inspiration ! Love this spiritual thought and the food !
Hope you are having a lovely week.
XOXO
