Loving a Life of Biblical Womanhood
We’ve had several days recently where the temperature has climbed toward 110°. As such, I wanted to find a way to cool the kids off.
It was easy. The only thing was that my containers were too big. I think the larger-sized bathroom cups would work best.
I didn’t have popsicle sticks, so I just used disposable plastic spoons. They worked just fine.

My garden is STILL producing tomatoes. I had about 15 pounds the other day, and wanted to do something different with them, so I tried oven roasted tomato sauce.

I watched a Top Chef one season, and late in the season toward the finals or maybe in the finals, one of the contestants made a butternut squash soup that had the judges wanting to lick their bowls. It seemed odd to me that something that should be as simple as a butternut squash soup, could illicit such a response from a group of people who taste amazing food all the time. It sent me on a quest to find a recipe that good, something that would make me sad the bowl was empty when I was finished. I’ve found that recipe, and I’ve found that secret ingredient that makes it all the better. I hope this bisque is as amazing for you as it was for me.

Different things can affect my blood pressure. Some years ago, we found a recent research study that showed drinking just 8 ounces of pomegranate juice a day will reduce high blood pressure significantly. Since then, I have added a shot of pomegranate juice to my smoothies.

My blood pressure dropped so rapidly that for days I ran into walls. I dropped things. My ears rang. Until I got used to the change in pressure, it impacted everything. Once I got used to it, everything was put on an even keel. Then I got pregnant with Jeb.

Pom Wonderful asked me to come up with some pomegranate recipes. I had a turkey breast in the freezer and a bag of cranberries in the fridge, so I thought I would see what I could come up with.

This is a refreshing sparkling pomegranate drink, beautifully festive for any holiday gathering.

I modified this recipe to be able to make it with what I had on hand. For instance, the original recipe called for fresh saffron and white rice; however, I don’t keep fresh saffron in my cupboard, but I had a package of saffron rice. I am posting the recipe as I made it, so that I can be confident that you’re getting a good recipe that I’ve tried out.

This is a great smoothie for breakfast – and sometimes dinner! You can substitute the orange juice with any mix of juices or even an even split of whole milk and plain yogurt if you are not on a fast. The milk/yogurt mixture adds more of a milk shake quality than the juice does.

My kids LOVE star fruit. I’m usually able to find it during Christmastime and try to include one in their stockings every year. We use it as an opportunity to talk about the Star of Bethlehem.
