My Favorite Pre-Mixed/Packaged Side Dishes

Nobody's Perfect!

I'll let you in on a secret this morning. I cannot make good cornbread or biscuits from scratch. So, I have found some great alternatives if I need cornbread or biscuits with a meal. And I love pasta salad, and Betty Crocker has a kit that I love. It's easy and I prefer it over trying to gather ingredients separately.

Martha White Buttermilk Cornbread Mix

I love the way this cornbread turns out. And I do not use buttermilk. I use regular milk to make it with. Follow the instructions on the package for a delicious side dish or to make homemade cornbread salad. You should be able to find this in the baking aisle at your local grocer or Walmart.

Pillsbury Grands Frozen Biscuits

These are found with the other frozen breads. I prefer the buttermilk or southern style over the butter tastin' biscuits. Biscuits are greasy enough without adding all that butter (or whatever they're using for the butter flavor) to the mix. So, if you want a less greasy taste, stick with the 2 I mentioned above.

Betty Crocker Pasta Salad Mix

I love pasta as a side dish, and Betty Crocker makes this so easy. The company sells many different flavors. My family's favorite flavor is ranch and bacon. You can eat it warm or serve refrigerated. This is usually found in the same aisle as other pastas.

Image Pixels to Inches, Flip Image, and Increasing DPI

Image Pixels to Inches, Flip Image, and Increasing DPI These are simple tips I want to share with those of you who are like me and do not have fancy programs to help when needing to convert pixels to inches, find out how many pixels an image has, and increase DPIs for better print quality. My tips are based on a Windows 11 OS and may not work on other systems. However, you may be able to do an internet search to explore your OS options based on the information I have provided below. I do not receive any compensation from these two sites listed. I use them because they are easy, free, and safe to use. These tips are helpful if you need to quickly figure how many pixels you need for a certain number of inches so you can print the right size every time without guessing and wasting printer ink until you do get it right. Also, sometimes, a print needs to be flipped (mirrored, reversed) for transfers. And last but not least, if you’re selling printable items, a higher DPI is needed for ...

New Christian T-shirts Designed and Listed on Etsy

I just finished designing a couple of Christian T-shirts and listing them on Etsy. You can read more about these and keep up with new arrivals on my Digital Potpourri Blog. If you have a custom request, you can contact us via Etsy messages . We'll be happy to try to produce a t-shirt to your liking as long as there is nothing profane, vulgar, immoral, licensed, trademarked or involving hate related to the design. One of the tees reads Love Obey Trust with bible books, chapters, and verses that coincide with these words. The other states God Lives Here with "Here" inside a heart shaped from mini hearts. So, basically 2 messages. God Lives and He lives in our hearts. 😇 Thanks for dropping by to read my updates today, Patricia

This Rule is Golden

 In Matthew 7:12 NLT, Jesus tells us , "Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets." image courtesy of Randalyn Hill via Unsplash My goodness, how often does the world turn the Golden Rule around? Jesus meant it for us to be kind and merciful. Many in the world use it to get even, to seek vindication for a wrong done to them - or what they think has been done to them, which is NOT at all what Jesus said in this verse. Yet, how many times do we hear, "Well, they did this to me. I'm going to do the same to them." Or, "That person was mean to me; I'm going to teach that person a lesson they will never forget." Or, "I never get a break. Why should I give anyone else a break?" Jesus said to treat people the way we want to be treated. That means to be cordial in all encounters. Show mercy to those who aren't showing us mercy. Let's be nice to people who...
