corn maze

Corn maze and lactose-free recipe

Saturday evening was spent at a corn maze with my church. It was fun to roam through the corn, mostly lost. We found our way out eventually and got on a hay ride that brought us to a bonfire where we roasted hot dogs and marshmallows.

A few pictures:

Boys are goofy.

Time for a recipe! I love pie. Pie crust gives me a belly ache because it has dairy it in (I’m lactose-intolerant). Sad. So I searched out and tested some recipes for a dairy-free pie crust. Yippie!! The recipe is now added to my recipe tab/pages.

Dairy-free pie crust

Ingredients:

-1 cup unbleached flour

-1/2 teaspoon salt

-1/4 cup vegetable oil

-2 tablespoons cold water

Directions:

Mix flour and salt with a whisk. Stir in oil until mixed and don’t be afraid to use your hands! Add water until mixed completely. Place dough into middle of a 8 or 9-inch pie dish. Spread dough out with hands, covering the bottom of the dish, up the sides, and over the rim. Bake pie according to directions and enjoy. (Makes 1 o- or 9-inch pie crust)

I’m off to school. Today is my long day on campus.. fun fun! Have a good Monday 🙂

Police and gloves

May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart 
   be pleasing in your sight, 
   Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. Psalm 19:14

Do you ever get around certain people and suddenly become hyper and full of energy? That typically happens when my sister and Jimmy and I get around each other. Things get wild and I end up on the floor laughing. 

Good times. Anyways.

Friday night Jimmy locked his keys in his truck so we called the police. The neighbors were staring when the po-po were at my house! Thankfully all was resolved. Hannah and Jimmy went bowling with our church league and I was left to run errands and then cuddle with Lily.

Oh yeah, we made pizza for dinner. Gotta support fundraising..

Gum balls were consumed. Hot chocolate for the Keurig was bought and enjoyed.

Friday was fun and relaxing.

Saturday began bright and early. Well.. in the dark. I did a long run in preparation for a race next weekend.

9.6 miles in 1:27 minutes = 8:57 pace and a hungry Allie all day. 

Jim and I drove an hour away from Pittsburgh to Ligonier, PA. We attended a huge fall festival commemorating Fort Ligonier. Twas fun. I didn’t get many pictures for some reason?! We enjoyed chicken wraps for lunch 🙂 They were good but my wrap came with cheddar cheese and sour cream… and i’m lactose intolerant… and I didn’t take my prescription. Ow. Good food is worth it though, most of the time!

I got some new gloves to keep my hands warm. YAAAAAAY!

We headed to a corn maze with our church youth group later on. More pictures another day…! I’m going to do some homework and then head off to church. Not too sure what is in store for today 🙂
