This past week’s Abraham workshop was Cooking with Sarah. Genesis 18 was our text, where the three visitors came “at the heat of the day” and Abraham and Sarah cooked a meal for them. We used The Good Book Cookbook as our guide to re-create these recipes. On Sunday we made bread out of whole [...]
Ryan and I are experimenting with food again, and this time we’re eating raw. No, not raw hamburger or anything like that; we’re incorporating more fresh fruits and veggies into our diet.
