Energizer Smoothie

Posted by Hallee on Nov 7, 2010 in beverages, Christian Faith, Daniel Fast, diet & fasting, Hallee's Galley, Recipes

I love smoothies. Almost every smoothie I make is yogurt-based. I enjoy that this one is a vegan recipe, so I can drink it when I’m doing a Daniel Fast or when I’m just not in the mood for dairy.

Slow Cooked Kidney Beans

Posted by Hallee on Oct 15, 2010 in Christian Faith, Daniel Fast, diet & fasting, Hallee's Galley, Recipes, sides

It is hard to find a good bean recipe that doesn’t contain pork of any kind. Even buying canned beans, you have to read the label carefully to make sure that it’s pork-free. It’s nice to find a slow cooked bean recipe that is just beans and seasoning.

Eat Your Colors

Posted by Hallee on Sep 24, 2010 in Hallee's Galley

You often hear that people eat with their eyes first. When a plate is beautiful, colorful, the appeal of the food speaks to our brain. When it’s dull, brown, boring, the lack of appeal does the same.

What you may not know, and what our brain by God’s perfect design is telling us, is that those colors are good for you. That each color has a purpose, provides specific vitamins and nutrients, and that a diet rich in the rainbow is so good for your overall health.

Hidden Nemeses

Posted by Hallee on Sep 2, 2010 in Hallee's Galley, kitchen & cooking tips

Always always always pick through your dried beans. I have never looked through a package of beans that didn’t contain at least one rock. I’d hate to think of you biting down on one of those things. Ouch! Hallee I’m so grateful for your visit, today. You would bless me if you added me to […]

Hearty 16-Bean Soup

Posted by Hallee on Feb 24, 2010 in Daniel Fast, diet & fasting, Hallee's Galley, Leviticus, Recipes, Soups

When we bought the wheat berries for my grain mill, we went ahead and added a 6-gallon bucket of 16-bean soup mix. The shipping was moderate because we already had a good sized shipment coming, and the price per pound was WAY cheaper than an already cheap meal that much cheaper.

Scrumptious Sweet Potato Sticks

Posted by Hallee on Nov 18, 2009 in Daniel Fast, diet & fasting, Hallee's Galley, Recipes, sides

You can cut these steak fry size or quarter small sweet potatoes. Since my husband ensures that I have every kitchen gadget known to man, I have a commercial strength french fry cutter. Cutting sweet potatoes down to regular french fry size is very tasty. The large cut is perfect. When you get it just right, they are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. Yummy!

Moroccan Rice with Dried Fruit & Nuts

Posted by Hallee on Oct 31, 2009 in Hallee's Galley, Recipes, sides

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.

A favorite to any pot luck. I don’t think a church dinner would be complete without chilled green bean and red potato salad.

Friday Fried Fish Dinner

Posted by Hallee on Sep 24, 2009 in Hallee's Galley, menus & menu planning, Recipes

Last night, we had a fried fish dinner. It was quite yummy, albeit not quite “healthy” in the whole grains/good fats arena. My family is good with that (ha!) and I try to indulge fried fish or fried chicken about once a month.
