A little about cooking and a lot about Whitney...

So as we know Whitney Houston passed away this weekend at the age of 48. Someone who I LOVED as a child. I can remember listening to "How Will I Know?" and "I Wanna Dance with Somebody". Beautiful woman, beautiful talent.

Here's what gets me. All over Facebook and around the internet, I see people say, " She chose drugs over her kid, career, etc". "What a waste". "She was a crack head".

Breaks my heart.

She was a person. Who had a disease. That disease is called addiction. Until you know the power of drugs, alcohol, pills, food - whatever it may be that takes over you - you have no room to talk. It's only those who have to realize for themselves that something is wrong and by the power of the Holy Spirit get healing and life change.

That's it. Off my soapbox. :)

As far as cooking goes, the baked corn dog mini muffins went over horribly. My kids are used to the frozen ones I think, lol. They wanted them crunchy on the outside, something I totally understand. Pizza roll-ups, they liked ok. I think make-your-own pizza night goes over better here. I made the Cooking Light frito pie last night, which is always a hit. Tonight it's sloppy joes made with ground turkey and tomorrow, I'm attempting shrimp scampi from Cooking Light for Valentine's day.

Speaking of Valentine's and love: this verse sums up love perfectly. It is the true meaning of love.

“For God so LOVED the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 NIV
