Winter Lentil Surprise Soup (Soul Care Dinners)
Experiments with Prayer
My recent readings and adventures in prayer (I am currently reading Dr. William Parker's Prayer Can Change Your Life, and there's more about this below) have been accompanied by some culinary experiments. Since its winter time and the days are short and a bit cold soups dominate. I am on the hunt for low-glycemic, anti-inflammatory, low-cholesterol, and low-fat meals that will also meet the nutritional needs of my family in the best possible way. Believe me, this is not an easy task but I am loving the meal-planning and magic of cooking in the Kitchen of Grace. The Winter Lentil Surprise creation was made in honor of my mother who went home to the Lord on this day, a long time ago. Filled with lentils, vegetables, asian mushrooms, butternut squash, and sweet corn, its sweet aroma filled our home. Using organic produce, the freshest possible ingredients, and in unexpected combinations that interact well with each other, I am finding, really makes a difference to all the senses. Mmm, YUM!
