The Strength of Faith: A Birthday Feast

I am an ordained minister and a food blogger. The combination is pretty epic. Welcome to The Strength of Faith!

A little bit about me ...

I live in Southeast Massachusetts with my husband and our 4 year old gray tabby cat, Lilly. I am a 2007 graduate of Ursinus College and received a Master of Divinity from the Candler School of Theology at Emory University in 2010.

I recently started my ministry as the Senior Pastor of Rehoboth Congregational Church in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. They are a wonderful group of people who minister to me as much as I do to them. Every day I continue to be amazed at the unexpected grace I find in my life.

This blog documents my life as I try to figure out what it means to live faithfully and mindful of my health in a world full of distractions. I post my workouts and pictures of my daily eats in order to help me find balance in my life. I post recipes as I seek to develop creativity in the kitchen. I am on a lifelong quest to be happy and healthy.

Thank you for stopping by – I look forward to getting to know you!

A Birthday Feast

Oh my goodness - I am so full!

Literally and figuratively. Thank you for all of the messages and posts! It's been a wonderful 26th birthday!

My parent's took us (Bruce, Bethany and me) to dinner at The Cookhouse for dinner. None of us held back!

I started with warm biscuits and sweet butter.

Then stuffed my face full of chicken fried chicken, sweet potato fries and coleslaw. It was so good, I couldn't stop!

We came back to my parent's house for presents and cake. I got MORE stuff off of my wish list! Who knew that a late night case of writer's-block-turned-wish-list would eventually turn into new kitchen toys?

I blew them all out on the first try!

And of course ...

... a food blogger's birthday. :) Love it!

Night all!
