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. […]

Basic Rice Pilaf

RICE PILAF One of the first “gourmet” dishes I  learned to make was rice pilaf.  I borrowed a cookbook from one of my aunts, shortly after high school, because I wanted to learn how to cook for myself.  I used it over the years, eventually tweaking it to use organic ingredients.  It is one of […]

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 […]

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 […]
