Front Porch: New recipe (treat yourself!)

Hi Beautiful,

As a wife, mother and business owner, I have one thing to say to you.

I feel you, sister.

I know how insane it can get, especially now heading into the holiday season. If there’s three things I know it’s this: life is hard, people are crazy, and God is good.

And that’s why this issue of Front Porch is created especially for you.

Not only will you find a sweet treat for those moments when you really need a little pick-me-up (Peach Slab Pie, a Gravel Family Favorite!) but there’s also a new article about the 7 don’ts you must always do to build your confidence and feel successful, no matter what life if currently throwing at you.

Ingredients:

• 1 box Pillsbury™ refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on the box 

• ¾ cup packed brown sugar

• ¼ cup cornstarch

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• 9 cups Cascadian Farms™ organic frozen sliced peaches, thawed and drained, from 4 10oz packages

 Directions:

1. Heat over to 375 degrees. Remove pie crusts from pouches. On lightly floured surface, unroll and stack crusts one on top of each other. Roll to 17x12 inch rectangle. Fit crust into ungreased 15x10x1 inch pan, pressing into corners. Fold extra crusts even with edges of the pan. Crimp edges.

2. In large bowl, mix brown sugar, corn starch and lemon juice. Stir in peaches to coat. Spoon mixture into crust-lined pan. Break cookie dough half into coarse crumbs, sprinkle evenly over filling. (Wrap and refrigerate rest of cookie dough for another use.)

3. Bake 55-60 minutes until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbling. Cool 45 minutes. Cut and serve.

If you want unwavering confidence, even in the face of obstacles, then you’ll definitely want to check out the 7 don’ts Kim Gravel recommends you do. 

As you strive for personal growth and bigger goals, you’re going to encounter obstacles and setbacks. But those are surmountable—especially when you use the tools Kim shares here. 

Don’t neglect your soul. 

The soul is the foundation and crux of everything; it’s the spiritual part of who we are. That’s why feeding the soul is so important: it’s the healing water from which everything else flows. 

So how do you avoid neglecting your soul? 

Kim explained that she makes it a point to spend time with her thoughts each day. She sits in silence, prays, or reads scriptures or devotions. 

She gets as quiet as possible so she can hear and listen to God.  

You also feed your soul by doing those things you enjoy: walking in nature, getting a facial, watching a great movie, chilling out, going on a date night with your significant other or a night out with your friends.
