Take-Out @ Home Coming Soon

I know it has been some time since my last post.  Life has suddenly gotten much more complicated and busy, both of which are good things because I needed to get busy and face complication.  Haha, really.  The Word of God says, in the first chapter of James’ epistle: 2 My brethren, count it all joy […]

Chicken Tenders

While working on the ultimate fried chicken recipe, we received a generous donation of 30 pounds of chicken breasts for our Tuesday night Party for the Hungry in Stroudsburg.  Isn’t God good?  This gave me the amazing opportunity to tweak the recipe.  While this is a chicken tender recipe, it may actually work well for […]

AT LONG LAST — LENTIL SOUP!!!!

FINALLY!!!  IT’S HERE!!! I know I promised this recipe back at the end of February, but honestly, after completing the Daniel Fast, I really wasn’t interested in any meals that did not include meat.  Now that I am past that, and the fact that my wife keeps returning to the Daniel Fast as her fast […]

Lentil Soup Recipe coming

Arroz con Pollo – Panamanian Style

Okay, I promised my mother’s world famous Arroz con Pollo, so now I give it.  I made modifications to my mother’s recipe, preferring all natural products to some of the Goya substitutes she used as I was growing up, but overall I love my version.  In fact, I had a very good friend from my […]

All Purpose Meat Seasoning

Hello all.  It’s been a while.  I’ve been busy with home schooling my son, teaching two classes at our home school co-op, Train up A Child Christian Home Schoolers (TRACCHS), getting my catering business, Christian’s Bread of Life (CBL), up and running, in addition to so many other things that I find it hard to […]

In the midst of all the holiday preparations, I forgot to continue the lasagna saga. So much to do, so much to do! Please bear with me as you follow along. The ingredient picture is not complete as I tend to remember ingredients as I go along. The necessary items for my sauce are: 2 […]
