Love your Enemies- Cook Them Meaty Mac & Cheese!

But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you! 

Matthew 5:44

 Yesterday, as I was cleaning the Lord spoke these words into my heart. I right then prayed and knew I had to share it with you all. I know that in this crazy world sometimes its hard to love someone who acts unlovable but isn't this what Jesus does everyday. We should strive to be more like Jesus each and everyday. The Lord also said to pray for that person- when the devil tempts you to think negative thoughts- pray- asking God to change that persons heart or pray that they have a good day filled with the Lords blessings. I'm not a bible scholar. I have never been to bible college- I do know that when the Lord speaks to you- you must listen and follow his commands. I hope this helps you in some way today as it has helped me.

 On to cooking. I do not cook- although I know how to... Growing up in a house where your mom is this awesome chef- you feel intimidated at the thought of cooking and then even more when I have to clean up after I cook:/ So when I married Steve I told him, if he cooked I would clean and for almost 6 years we have done just that. Since Gracie has been born I have been cooking some here and there. Today, I got the cooking bug and wanted to surprise Stephen with a cool dish.. I needed something easy, and simple... and this is what I found:

Meaty Mac & Cheese- I love this dish soo much:)) Try it!
