Some Noggin' for your Noggin

Around the Wolfertz house this time of year, all healthy activities succumb to the not-so-healthy influence of Eggnog (we call it Noggin').

This delectable drink coupled with Merrit's insatiable appetite for Pinterest produced a recipe that we simply could not refuse:

Chocolate Eggnog Swirl Pie

Whether you enjoy Noggin' or not you have to at least appreciate how delicious it looks. Matt repeatedly requested, begged, pleaded, and whimpered for us to make it.

Last night, Matt finally locked himself inside the kitchen and did not emerge until it was finished. Drum roll, please!

Said Matt of his creation: "Though I have many talents and a profound appreciation for delicious food, I must concede that I lack the culinary art of swirling."

Often times we are presented with idealistic pictures of the gospel, or health, or marriage, or noggin' pie, etc.. In comparison our results tend to look like a less-than-appetizing mishmash. We rationalize with "if only's". Truth is the Savior can take our feeble attempts and, with a dash of mercy, a pinch of grace, and heaping amount of love and patience, help us create the most decadent delicacy.

Now that's Noggin' for your Noggin.
