Because I have already written two post previous to this one today, I feel like I have said all that I really need to say. So, I decided to mix things up a little bit and share with you a poem that I wrote two weeks ago. P.S: I got the original recipe of this one from Whole Foods Market recipes. I just changed it up a slight bit. Here is a poem for your sheer enjoyment.
Fifty Steps
By: Kyndal Cowper
Remember,
Remember the Lord once said
Remember
through Me, you will never be dead
Through
Me, there is life, on Earth and here after
Especially
through all your stormy disasters
Confused
you may be, no light or life you may feel
But
child have I ever, broken a promise or deal?
What
promise? You may say, you may not recall
Before
your life on Earth, I said I would not let you fall
On
one slight condition, your diligence it might take
Cleave
unto My Light and please never forsake
It
seems like a lot, I am asking you to do
But
with one step towards me, I’ll take fifty towards you
Though
it’s dark, you cannot see, you don’t understand
Reach
through that great darkness, for there will be My hand
If
you feel lost and confused, a little secret to grow
In
a trial, embrace Me and peace you will know

I miss crepes. I used to eat them all the time but I haven't made them in such a long time. My family has such a good crepe recipe so I decided to make it with a few modified ingredients, just for added nutrition. Then, I wanted to be creative and come up with something unique to fill the crepes with! So somehow, out of my crazy mind, I came up with this. A little weird at first, but when you try it, you will just say, "Oh man. Oh buddy. Oh goodness." Sweet potato filling with blackberries. Its good. I promise. So if you want something sweet, or you feel like being French for a while, or you simply just wanted to try this odd concoction, then you better start cooking. 
So I have a best friend. Her name is Maddy. You see, we sometimes call her Madd and she is super sweet, energetic, and funny. Along with my other best friend Shelby, Maddy is my work out buddy. She is really healthy and exercises like a crazy woman. She is funny because she doesn't like salads at all. She wants to because then she thinks that she is healthy and sometimes she likes to pretend that she likes them, but we all know that she doesn't. She just can't get over the lettuce. And that's okay! Its totally understandable for those of you who don't like lettuce. To be honest with you, its really a weird thing. I like putting lettuce on things, but lettuce in and of itself has a bland texture and a bland taste (most the time). So Maddy, we are all here to say that we accept you even if you don't like salads. You are still a heathly beast. And to all of those who don't like salads either, its okay!! We accept you too. But here is the great thing. A salad doesn't even have to have lettuce to be considered a salad. You can mix any of your favorite veggies and fruits and say your a salad eater! Awesome huh?! Well, here's to you Maddy. Here is a delicious salad without lettuce! Yes, I just did what you thought couldn't be done. Here is my "Madd" Mediterranean Quinoa Salad! :)
