THIS POST WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED ON NAPTIME DIARIES. ENJOY!

My husband and I have turned into “those people.” You know, the ones that sit back and talk about “kids these days” don’t appreciate things the way we did, they feel entitled and narcissistic in ways we would never have dreamed of. “Kids these days” don’t have respect for authority or the world order or the church or elders or whatever. These dang kids! Oh, and by the way, we’re only 30. Still kids ourselves.

The other day I was stewing on this for really no apparent reason when suddenly my son woke up from his nap early. “Dang it! Don’t I deserve some peace and quiet to eat in peace? Don’t I deserve to be able to make a quick meal without an interruption? Don’t I deserve to have some chocolate after every meal and snack? I mean I work hard. REALLY hard. Don’t I deserve…?!”

Suddenly it hit me. No. I don’t deserve any of it. I don’t deserve the beautiful marriage, the incredible husband, the healthy and smart and adorable little boy. I don’t deserve the house we live in, the cars we drive, the dogs we have. I don’t deserve to have the entire world at my fingertips. I don’t deserve to pick and choose every little morsel that goes in my mouth. I don’t deserve the unconscionable and never-ending love and grace of a Savior who laid down his life for me. I deserve nothing.

And yet. I love Habakkuk 3:18 that starts off with, “And yet God…” Those three words change everything. I deserve nothing, AND YET GOD still delivers. He still brings me up out of the unfathomably dark places. He still gives his love and grace, his Word, his Spirit, his son Jesus even when every entitled statement in the world has been choked out. He loves us, he loves me, still.

This place of truly understanding grace is, unfortunately, not one that I comprehend to the point that it’s like breathing – it’s not an unconscious understanding. I still have to stop, think about the fact that regardless of all the “good things” I do, it’s still all done out of a sinful heart. I have to come to that place where true reflection happens and grace hits my heart like a ton of bricks. Like the verse in ‘Amazing Grace’ says, “The Lord has promised good to me, His Word my hope endures, He will my shield and portion be, as long as life endures.” If I lost everything and everyone I have, God is still my portion. He is still my everything. And God is so so very good, truly truly all the time.

Kind of heavy for a post with a chip recipe at the bottom, right? But here’s where it comes together for me: I don’t deserve to be picky about what I eat. I don’t deserve to have the income to be able to buy whatever I want at the store. I don’t deserve to have a body that is healthy. AND YET GOD has given me these resources to glorify Him. So I stop being picky about what I eat, I stop spending tons of money at the store, and I eat foods that will nourish this body well. I stop and I thank God for his graciousness and ask for the strength to use this voice and this money and this body to honor Him. I don’t deserve any of it, but I am so very grateful.

These chips, you guys, are seriously amazing. They’re a quick and healthy snack that you can truly season however you want. They’re something you can make with or without kiddos (just be super careful when you’re slicing!), and they can quell the snack monster like no one’s business. Enjoy!

Healthy Microwave Sweet Potato Chips

Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato (it helps if it's long and skinny)
  • nonstick cooking spray
  • 2 teaspoons of your seasoning of choice (I love the Creole seasoning in the picture above, but you can honestly use whatever you love! Just salt, pepper and garlic powder is great too!)

Instructions

  1. VERY thinly slice the sweet potatoes. A mandolin (I got mine at Walmart for a cool $7) works best for this for uniformity purposes, but please PLEASE be careful if you use one. They are super sharp!
  2. Arrange the sweet potato slices on a microwave-safe plate.
  3. Spray lightly with nonstick spray, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of your seasonings.
  4. Turn the rounds over and repeat with the cooking spray and seasoning.
  5. Microwave for 10 minutes at 60% power.
  6. Carefully turn the rounds over again, then microwave for another 5-7 minutes at 70% power.
  7. Open the microwave door and walk away for 10 minutes. You want both the chips and the plate to be cool enough to handle!
  8. Enjoy!

      Hey Opal! I’m having issues with my recipe plugin and a blog update matching up, but the recipe should be visible to you now. If not, it originally “aired” over at my friend Jessi’s blog here – https://www.naptimediaries.com/blog/ptimediaries.com/2014/01/what-we-deserve-sweet-potatoes.html

    I am so encouraged by this post! I’ve been learning to be humble, recognize and receive all of God’s grace in my life! It’s incredible how much we have to be thankful for. I appreciate you verbalizing it even along with your chip recipe! Now, the chips is why I stopped by… but I don’t actually see a recipe? Just pictures… how long do you microwave them? Thanks!

    Thank you for this post. It was the most unexpected surprise for me.
    I am in the middle of a rough few days at work and have been feeling very sorry for myself.
    Your post has helped me shift my attention onto everything God has already given me. I am so grateful. Thank you.
    Also, those sweet potato chips look pretty amazing.
    God bless

    I’ve got to say it… I was super excited to try these, but I was literally horrified when I saw that it called for non-stick cooking spray to be sprayed directly onto the sweet potatoes! There is no way putting non-stick cooking spray directly onto food is a good idea or is in any way “healthy.” I won’t even use that stuff in a pan! You can come to your own conclusions on it but I’d at least encourage you to look into it… that stuff is not good for your healthy :/

      I hope that didn’t sound too harsh… I love your blog and the fact that you’re a follower of Jesus is incredible and encouraging because I am, too! I feel kind of bad saying something but at the same time you might look into it and realize you want something better for your family in terms of health! Blessings šŸ™‚

    I have trouble with my sweet potatoes burning when I do this. It appears that you’ve sliced your potatoes thicker than I do, so maybe I should try that. I do love my sweet potatoes, so I’m trying it again! Hope you have a good week.

    Oh Heather. If I could be like you in thinking what I don’t deserve. I’m stuck thinking the other way. It’s been a rough few months faith-wise. And of course, I haven’t been reading SRT or going to Church, so of course it’s been rough. anyway, thanks for sharing. You’re inspiring šŸ™‚

For my @fasterwaytofatloss friends, here’s an AM For my @fasterwaytofatloss friends, here’s an AMAZING low-carb day dish: roasted cauliflower with smoked paprika and almonds! It’s so simple to make, incredibly flavorful, and pairs really well with truly any protein. Enjoy!

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA AND ALMONDS
* 1 head cauliflower, cut into small florets
* 2 Tbsp olive oil
* 1 tsp salt
* 1 tsp smoked paprika
* 1/2 tsp garlic powder
* 1/2 tsp pepper
* 1/3 cup slivered raw almonds
1. Preheat oven to 375.
2. Spread the cauliflower florets onto a large baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
3. Sprinkle evenly with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder, then toss to evenly coat it all.
4. Roast at 375 for 25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
5. When there are 3 minutes left, open the oven and sprinkle the almonds on top.
6. Roast for another 3-4 minutes until the almonds are just lightly toasted, then remove and serve immediately.

If there’s a silver lining in the quarantines from last year it’s that I know now that I can handle much more chaos than I thought I could 🤪
A little #howitstartedvshowitsgoing situation with A little #howitstartedvshowitsgoing situation with my avocado plant! Swipe to see this little guy as a teeny sprout 🌱 

I remember when I wasn’t sure it would sprout at all, and then one day the seed split and there it was! We also hit a point November-January where there was zero growth and I wondered again if it was a waste of time.

Now there are new leaves, new height, and (most importantly) stronger roots, all because of a little patience and care (it’s a metaphor y’all šŸ˜†). I find myself excited about the next season where it will be planted in dirt, which will offer new challenges - and growth- of its own. What a blessing to learn such deep lessons from a humble seed!

God, thank you for the little things that show us how much the little things matter. Amen.

šŸ™‹šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø Hi, my name is Heather and I str šŸ™‹šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø Hi, my name is Heather and I struggle getting enough protein into my diet. Who else can relate?!

One of my physical health goals this year is to gain lean muscle and get stronger, which means that I need to be getting enough protein in on a daily basis. For me a great source of lean protein is chicken breasts, but if they don’t taste great I’m not having it! So, if this is you, I have a solution for you: BRINE YOUR CHICKEN BREASTS! 

Here’s my fail-proof brine recipe for perfectly flavorful chicken breasts. Cook ā€˜em however you want - just make sure you brine them first! The difference is enormously worth it!

Recipe is for about 4-6 chicken breasts:
•3 tablespoons kosher salt
•3 tablespoons honey
•2 cups lukewarm water
•2 cups cold water

In a large saucepan bring the first 3 ingredients to a simmer. Remove and stir until the salt is dissolved, then pour in the cold water. IT MUST BE COLD - otherwise the brine will start to cook the chicken breasts! When the mixture is lukewarm, add the chicken breasts, making sure they’re covered in the brine. Cover and refrigerate for 1-6 hours (I recommend 6 if you can). When they’re finished, remove from the brine, rinse, pat dry and cook as desired!

I love running, walking and hiking, but weather, childcare, and a certain global pandemic make consistently getting out to do those kinda difficult. I’ve always enjoyed my #homegym, but quality cardio equipment is expensive! 

So what’s a girl to do?

This past fall I randomly decided to look at steppers, and found this @sunnyhealthfitness one on @walmart for $50! I just wanted something that I could use for 20-30 minutes 4-ish days a week, and it’s been an amazing fit. Would I like a Peloton? Duh, of course. But this has worked so well with the budget and space we have!

What’s your biggest struggle in curating a home gym?
A blurry pickup line photo to tell you I can’t r A blurry pickup line photo to tell you I can’t recommend seeing a counselor or therapist enough. I was weird about it first, felt like my problems weren’t big or messy enough to warrant professional help. And when I did start seeing my counselor I was awkward (this shouldn’t be a surprise). But here we are 4 months later and I’m seeing some incredible life-giving movement. God is so good, and I’m so thankful for friends who normalized counseling and therapy for me!
So. It’s been a while since I posted on the feed So. It’s been a while since I posted on the feed (or really in my stories too). Truthfully I’m still heavily processing the last 2 months, which were preceded by 10 other hard months. Life is brutal and beautiful and next-level hard and a joy, all swirled together. I won’t pretend that everything is OK; it’s not. I’m not.
.
BUT GOD.

This past weekend I had a moment of complete clarity and joy and the knowledge that I will be OK. And for that only-God moment I’m so thankful. For all of you who have been praying for our family, who have offered the sweetest words and condolences, who have truly been there, waiting and wading with me through the hard - thank you. God is still good. He is still on his throne. And I am so unwaveringly thankful for that!ā¤ļø

I have so many thoughts swirling around in my head these days, and half the time I don’t know which way is up. But I do know this: focusing on simplicity is the name of the game this year for me. It starts with the things I can control: my food intake, moving my body, my thoughts, my actions. The rest will stem from there!

Does anyone even do a word of the year anymore after 2020? If you do I’d love to see you share it below!
