Every Day Faith. Faith Every Day.

Sweet Autumn Acorns

I’m departing from the typical theme here today because I’m at the Relevant conference in Pennsylvania (and hopefully meeting some of you online friends in person!). I saw this quick and easy recipe at Six in the Suburbs (I found the link at Ann Voskamp’s Weekend links — she finds such great stuff!), and it was simply too fun not to try. Plus I’m hoping that with enough time in the kitchen, my kids will grow up to be phenomenal cooks, just like their dad!

Rowan and I whipped together these cute acorns last week when the boys had a day off from school. They’d make the perfect autumn or Halloween party snack (just make sure no one has a peanut allergy if you plan to bring them to school).

Here’s the recipe (if you can even call it that!):

1. Melt 1/2 bag mini chocolate chips in a bowl.

2. Dip flat end of Hershey Kiss into melted chocolate and top with a bite-sized half of Nutter Butter.

3. Dip flat end of mini-chip into melted chocolate and stick onto other side of Nutter Butter.

4. Pop into mouth! (Rowan will gladly demonstrate how it’s done)

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a Triple Type A, “make it happen” (my dad’s favorite mantra) striver and achiever (I’m a 3 on the Enneagram, which tells you everything you need to know), but these days my striving looks more like sitting in silence on a park bench, my dog at my feet, as I slowly learn to let go of the false selves that have formed my identity for decades and lean toward uncovering who God created me to be.
