Interrupted.

I'm so excited! I was one of the first 250 bloggers to reply to an email call to action by Jen Hatmaker about her newly edited, re-released book, Interrupted, When Jesus Interrupts Your Comfortable Christianity! Whoot!

I'm so not the type of person to be a crazy stalker or follower of a blogger, but this woman just gets it. She speaks it. Writes it. LIVES it. And is human and humble enough to know she messes it up sometimes, too.

So, I get to read an early copy of her book, Interrupted, and use it as a launching point to start discussions, conversations, and perhaps the changing of lives here on my little blog.

If you would be interested in reading this book, too, you can get 20% off the price until July 31, 2014, by using this link.

I have a feeling this will be a life-changing book.

Bring it on!

Interrupted follows the author’s messy journey through life and church and into living on mission. Snatching Jen from the grip of her consumer life, God began asking her questions like, “What is really the point of My Church? What have I really asked of you?” She was far too busy doing church than being church, even as a pastor’s wife, an author of five Christian books, and a committed believer for 26 years. She discovered she had missed the point.

Christ brought Jen and her family to a place of living on mission by asking them tough questions, leading them through Scripture, and walking together with them on the path. Interrupted invites readers to take a similar journey. - See more at: http://www.navpress.com/Interrupted-Jesus-Wrecks-Comfortable-Christianity/d

Simple Pizza Tater Tot Bake

I could come up with no better name for this dish than that.

Creativity isn't my strong suit, okay?

Couldn't be easier:

Brown a 1 1/2lbs of either ground beef or pork (I used our seasoned pork mixture)
Drain and put back in pan.
Add in 1/2 large can of crushed tomatoes, a splash of Worcheshire sauce, 1/2 palmful of dried basil, 1/4 palmful of dried oregano, S&P.
Mix together.
Throw in a few handfuls of frozen spinach and stir.

Pour into greased 9x13 baking pan.
Add banana pepper slices, pepperoni, mushrooms, chopped bacon, green peppers, jalapenos- whatever else you would put on a pizza.
Cover with a layer of tater tots and a generous portion of mozzarella cheese.
Bake in a preheated 400* oven for 35-45 minutes or until tots are crispy.

There ya have it. Simple. Pizza Tater Tot Bake.

My family polished off all but one small square of this for dinner last night and no one came into the kitchen at 8.30 looking for a snack before bed. Win!
