I (Linda T.) shared this wonderful verse
with Kari,
which is perfect for all our marriages -
"Now may the God of patience and comfort
grant you to be like-minded toward one another,
according to Christ Jesus,
that you may with one mind and one mouth
glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Romans 15:5
Kari was presented with
"12 Dates"
A date for her and Clint to enjoy
each month of their first year of marriage!!
From bird watching, to hiking,
to exploring the parks in Colorado,
also a technique class at a French Cooking store
and an evening at home baking cookies
and much much more!!
We all presented her with a personalized Bible
to : Clint & Kari Walder
Kari with two of her bridesmaids!
Katy, thank you for closing our Bridal Breakfast with a precious prayer for Kari.
Linda J. sent us home with her
d-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s
Granola as our favor.
And since so many of you were asking for the recipe, here it is:
God's Granola Mix
(From Calvary Chapel Conference Center)
Ingredients:
1 cup slivered almonds
1 1/2 cups coconut (sweetened flakes)
6 cups rolled oats (not quick)
1 1/2 cup walnuts (coarsely chopped)
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
pinch of nutmeg
1 cup canola oil
1 cup honey
instructions-
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Baking time is 10-12 minutes.
In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except the oil and honey. Mix the oil and honey in a saucepan and heat on the stove until it begins to boil, remove from heat. (Keep an eye on this, when it begins to brown it can get hot too quickly.) When the honey and oil are heated, combine with the dry ingredients and stir with a spoon. Spread out on a cookie sheet and bake. You may need to bake it in two batches. After it cools, store in an airtight container.
Other ingredients can be added to your liking before baking, such as sunflower seeds, or other nuts or grains; or after cooking, such as dried fruits, raisins or even chocolate chips.
Bridal Blessings!!
