We are what we eat!
I'm sure you all have heard that saying! Being a chef, I have to say I agree with that in regards to food, but did you know that this saying also applies on a spiritual level? We do home church here at our house on Thursday nights and the Lord put it on my heart to teach/study on roots. We are on week 3 of 8 or 9, depending on how long the Lord wants it to go. I wanted to share a tidbit of last Thursday's message and I pray it inspires you! In the Garden of Eden, there were 2

Day 5: Paul’s Garden Omelet!
This one is my wife's favorite! 1) Crack 2 eggs into a bowl, pour in a couple capfuls of half and half, and then season to your liking with salt and pepper. In my photo I hadn't seasoned mine yet but you don't need too much, so go with a light dusting. 2) Whip it! Whip it good! 3) Drizzle olive oil (I used avocado oil on this one) into a non-stick pan and toss in a handful of diced onion, tomato, bell pepper, spinach and mushroom. Like our pan? It's our favorite for many thin

In my photo I hadn't seasoned mine yet but you don't need too much, especially of the cumin, so go with a light dusting. 2) Whip it! Whip it good! Ok, I'm tired of that song now, lol! 3) Drizzle olive oil into a non-stick pan and toss in a ha
