Divine Appointments

  Have you ever had a divine appointment? I have had more than a few in my life. One happened over the weekend. Some might call the events of the day merely coincidence, but I know better. Only God could be creative enough to combine several seemingly unrelated parts of the day to send ME a message. And while each of those experiences was critical to my divine appointment, none of them alone, without the others, would have grabbed my attention. {Read More}

Sunday Features Link Party {14}

Welcome to the 14th week of Sunday Features link party! All of you have been bringing such awesome creativity each week. I’m always blessed when I look through all your ideas. So spread the word (click tweet at the bottom of the post) so that this party continues to grow even bigger! This week brought some big changes here at Casa Tabler. On Monday I shared that Tom and I have started a six-week paleo challenge. We are now on day six, and, {Read More}

Homemade Natural Sweetener

We’ve Gone Paleo!

  Today marks day one of the Paleo Transformational Challenge at our box, Desert CrossFit. And Tom is doing it with me! I never thought I’d see the day.

Jerk Shrimp Tacos with Melon Salsa

Jerk shrimp tacos with melon salsa… yummmm! The pairing of spicy shrimp and cool melon is a match made in heaven. This combination makes a mean taco, but it can just as easily be served over  a bed of baby greens. It is very easy to make and is just as appropriate for a weeknight meal as it is for a dinner party. And shopping for all the ingredients was simple at Trader Joe’s! When I made this recipe this week, I worked on {Read More}
