God knows you by name and has your best interest at heart.
He will be with you and will carry you when you can't find the strength to stand on your own.
Just wanted you to know that during this difficult time you are loved, prayed for, and never, ever alone.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him. Romans 15:13

Autism Society of Nebraska

Coming up in May is the  3rd Annual North Platte Autism Puzzle Walk.  I have a niece who has a team, Team Kostman.  She asked me to see if anyone else would like to either join the team or donate money for the cause.  I know I am planning on joining the team and will be walking with my kids and niece.  If anyone wants to donate you can go here.  Hope to have your support!

 Apple Jack Cookies....

We made these cookies today for school.  We are working my measuring cups and spoons.  The kids loved them and even Anna, which is amazing because she doesn't like many sweet things. 


Ingredients:
1 C. brown sugar
1/2 C. butter
1 egg
1 1/2 C. flour
2 T. ground flax seed
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 C. chopped peeled apple (I used my little mini food process, which I love.)  Also the next batch I make I may chop up some carrots with the apples. 

Directions:
Cream togeher sugar and shortening.   Beat in egg.  Sift together dry ingredients and add to mixture.  Beat until well blended.  Stir in apples.  Drop in the shape of ball on a greased cookie sheet.  Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
Enjoy!
