A Unique Pumpkin Treat

Image
These may look like ordinary pumpkin muffins but they're very unique. Say hello to mister vegan pumpkin dark chocolate goodness. MMM! In case you're lost, vegan means no animal products and no, we're not vegan or even thinking about it. We do say yes to organic meats and foods when/if we have the extra cash. Anyways! My friend from work brought these in one day and we were all convinced that they couldn't be vegan because that would mean they had to taste funny, and they certainly did NOT. So, when my vegan parents requested a vegan sweet, I had to try this recipe out! Now listen, unfortunately I'm a very picky sweet eater; these muffins are SO GOOD! Trust me! They're worth it! I had a great time making these pumpkin cupcakes in the past but now that I've made these a few times, I actually prefer them!  Before you read the recipe, I'll go ahead and answer the big question; "how do you make muffins without eggs?" Well, all you'll...

Remembering Dr. Cohen

    In case you didn't know already, we found out on Monday, September 17th that our boss Dr. Gary Cohen, and his wife, Nancy Cohen passed away suddenly in a plane crash.  I can't express how grateful I am to have known such an amazing boss, friend, mentor, and man of God. He had such a genuine passion and care for each and every patient. I can't help but hear him as if he were still in the office, traveling from chair to chair, greeting every patient with a loud, "how you doin?" I have enjoyed EVERY DAY that I've worked for him. Once you find a boss with character, morals, a heart for the Lord, and a passion for excellence, you stay put! I can't tell you how much I love my job! I will definitely miss marketing his genius! I'm also very sad that I won't be able to tell him thank you when I get my braces off in about eight weeks!   Dr. Cohen was not only a doctor, but a FATHER to thousands of patients. It breaks my heart every day when ano...

Moving To Florida

Image
Well, the word is out. We've been stewing over this secret for quite some time now. In case you're still scratching your head, we're moving to Florida. When? That's a good question my friend. As soon as our house sells and the Lord calls we will be leaving for an area close to Miami, FL in the summer of next year. So, we only have around nine months left in the sweet southern state of Tennessee. Very bittersweet. This story began back in 2009-2010 for us; yet, you could say the Lord has been preparing us our whole lives. Nothing is a surprise to Him. Blake and I were a part of a college ministry in Murfreesboro, TN at Belle Aire Baptist Church called Alpha Omega. This is where we met, found life long friends, and grew together. Our college pastor, Jerel Olson, quickly began to disciple Blake as our worship leader and began telling us about where the Lord was directing his heart ; church planting. From that time on, we knew that one day we may get a call from Jer...
