I Can't Let A Day Go By Without Praising His Name! 

 

Today, I choose to praise Almighty God.  In spite of what I have or what I don't have, I will give HIM praise.  HE is worthy of my praise and so much more!

  

 

Psalm 34:1

 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

 

 

 

 

Meatless Monday #11



I used this brand. 

I usually decide on Saturday what I will enjoy for Meatless Monday.  And, if it requires a bit of preparation, I also prepare it on Saturday.  By Monday, the flavors have marinated together, and it usually tastes even better!  Well, after watching several YT videos (of vegetarian shepherd's pies), I decided that I would try another Shepherd's Pie.  The last time I made one was last spring, and I used vegetable crumbles to replace the meat.  My children said it was okay.  Definitely filling!  But, at that time, I had only used meatless crumbles a few times - not the brand that I currently use.  So, the taste was still new to us. 


So, after Monique over at Brown Vegan shared her enchilada recipe with lentils,  I decided that I would replace the meat with lentils.  And, this is what I came up with!

1. First, I sautéed a half cup of chopped onion with olive oil (about 10 minutes or so). Afterwards, I added in about a half cup of chopped carrots, a half cup of bell peppers, a half cup of celery, and 1 chopped zucchini.  I allowed this to cook about 5 minutes before adding 1 small can of tomato sauce.  Then, I covered this with a lid and let it simmer for about 10 minutes or so.
2. I had already cooked the lentils, and I was allowing them to drain while I sautéed the vegetables.  I poured the lentils into the vegetable mixture, mixed everything together,  and seasoned to taste.  Almost forgot!  I also added in one small can of vegetarian beans.  After adding all of this, I did have to transfer everything to a larger saucepan. 
3. The mashed potatoes which I used to top my vegetable mixture was also prepared ahead of time.  I pureed a small bag of cauliflower and mixed it with the mashed potatoes.  Then, I sprinkled the bottom of my olive oil coated Pyrex dish with vegan bacon bits.  Afterwards, I poured in the vegetable mixture and topped it with cheese before I added the potato mixture to the top.

I allowed this to bake at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes.  As it cooled, I topped it with more shredded cheese.

And with a salad - DELICIOUS!

Happy Sunday!

"Can You Hear Me?"

 

by Trinity Grace

Can you hear me?

I'm sobbing incredibly,

Unbelievably,

No relief in sight.

Can you hear me?

No one to talk to,

The secret is too deep.

With whom can I share it?

No one; Therefore, I weep.

Can you hear me?


When there is no one to talk to - but God, understand that HE sees you, HE hears you and HE knows all about you. Regardless to what you are facing, HE promised in HIS WORD,

1. ...and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen. (Matthew 28:20)
2. ...for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. (Hebrew 13:5)
3. Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath heard the voice of my weeping. (Psalm 6:8)

Doing You Well Wednesday!

Be the friend that you want as your friend.  Most people don't enjoy being involved in one-sided relationships.  Do to others as you would have them do to you (Luke 6:31).

If you want others to listen to you, become a good listener.
If you want gifts, learn to give.
If you want compliments, compliment someone else.
If you want others to be there for you, be there for others, ...etc,

TOO OFTEN,

1. People fail to return the loving kindness that was once shown to them.
2. People forget the bridge that brought them over.
3. People take others for granted.

 

Take good care of your relationships.  Nurture them, and they will last a long time!  Go tell someone "Thank you", "I miss you", "I appreciate you, "I love you".  Make somebody's day, and have a wonderful Wednesday!
