March 2024
Over the years, we've always compared our family life to a wagon train heading west. Just as everyone had to do his part to get to Oregon years ago, so everyone in our family must do his/her part to make our journey through life successful. If somebody climbs in the wagon and lets the others do the work, we just don't make any progress. We all have to pull our weight and work together. Along the trail we find lots of pebbles that make for a smooth ride and some bigger rocks that jar us a little; we hit the occasional pothole that can slow us down. But if we purpose to search diligently, there are countless gold nuggets and precious gemstones along the way as well. This journal is an attempt to preserve some of those precious moments for our children, and our children's children, as together we travel this trail called life.

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. Psalm 16:11

People Puppy Chow

 from Janice Koch

Pour half a pound of powdered sugar into a brown paper grocery bag and set aside (about 3 cups).

Measure 7 cups rice chex cereal and set aside.

Combine in large microwave-safe bowl:

1 cup milk chocolate chips

1/2 cup butter

Microwave 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup peanut butter and stir until peanut butter is melted. Add cereal to chocolate mixture, and stir gently to coat all cereal pieces. Pour chocolate-coated  cereal into grocery bag and shake gently to coat all cereal pieces. Spread on jelly roll pan to cool. 

Ready to roll~


Such a great recipe for summer because literally 1 minute in the microwave is all the heat you're adding to your already hot life.
Add the peanut butter~


Mix until nice and smooth,


Add cereal.


Mix gently.
(notice I switched spoons? That's just how I do it. Not required ๐Ÿ˜Š)


When cereal pieces are thoroughly coated with delicious chocolatey goodness, dump into Aldi bag (previously filled with 3 cups of powdered sugar).


Shake gently but thoroughly.


Dump into cake pan to cool ~~ snitching at this point is irresistible
๐Ÿ˜‹ 


Store in airtight container or ziploc bag.
(as if there will anything left to store ๐Ÿ˜†)
(or quick freeze some so you have it to pull out on a busy day when kids drop in)
