Curry Chicken
It has most certainly been a while since I have posted to this blog. Given the fact that I lost two people very dear to me in 2020, my mother to COVID in April, and my son was shot the day before my birthday in December, I haven’t truly been in a sharing kind of mood. Back […]
Quinoa Salad
Having bariatric surgery limited my amount of food choices. While I could eat many things, I found that I could not eat many of the culinary options I’d grown accustomed to, which lead me on a journey. I had to find new selections that would allow me to enjoy my foods, but were diverse enough […]
Coming Soon! Daniel Fast 2014
Get ready, kiddies! The blog will be getting steady updates soon as my congregation, Pleasant Valley Assembly of God, gets ready to begin our annual Daniel Fast. I expect blessings, miracles and divine wisdom to flow as it did last year. I will also be experimenting with new Daniel Fast recipes that I will post. […]
Hot Chocolate
I made this today, experimenting, and it came out awesome, so I thought I’d post it. Is it hot chocolate or cocoa? All I know is that it’s good. Sorry, no pictures yet, I just wanted to get it down. I will update the post with pictures the next time I make it. I’m sure […]

Bean Salad
My wife and I are entering our third week of our Daniel fast, which began on August 4th, and it has been a rough ride. I admit that I went off the fast one day, using the excuse that my nephew was over helping me out, to cover for my taking him to breakfast for […]
Simple Vegetarian Chili
Okay, yesterday, we roasted vegetables and made an awesome veggie broth from those vegetables. (As Anne Burrel says, “Brown food tastes good!”) I promised you that I would post a vegetarian chili recipe to give those vegetables one more life, and here I am to deliver on that promise! So, at this point, you should […]
Daniel Fast Vegetable Broth
The first chapter of the book of Daniel tells the tale of Daniel and his three friends, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, along with many young men of noble birth from the sons of Israel and Babylon, selected to serve before Babylonian king, Nebuchannezar. The young men, selected for their looks and wisdom, were to be […]
Wontons
The key to Asian cooking is to have all your vegetables prepped . This is the key to making everything quick, in most cases. This is not one of those times, as you have to wrap the wontons. This is good for soup, which will follow in a week, or fried. My recipe is for […]
