GOD USES BROKEN EGGS!

You know how sometimes you see something, and you think "Wow! Now that would be good". Today as I posted to my Weight Watchers page I found the recipe of the day (see picture below). It has only 3 points, and is gluten free! Be still my beating heart! WW recommends it as a side dish for a bar-b-que, but then I got to thinking - why not make it a complete meal for a hot summer day?  So I added chicken to it!

What makes this super, is most of this you can find already chopped, shreaded and ready to go in your super market. I would use canned chicken, Swanson is the best, packed in water. One can of chicken will add 2 points for you WW peeps, for a total of 5 points!

I can't wait to try it. How about you?

SUMMER ASIAN SLAW

6 Fresh Pineapple Slices

2 Cups Red Cabbage - shredded

1 Cup Carrots - shredded

1/4 Medium Jicama - peeled and matchsticked*

3/4 Cup Fresh Cilantro

1/2 Cup Scallion - uncooked, thinly sliced

3 Tbsp. Rice Wine Vinegar

2 tsp. Canola

Salt & Pepper to taste

2 Tbsp. Lime Juice

1 Tbsp Sesame Seeds - toasted

*Or use 1 Fuji or Granny Smith Apples, matchstick sliced

Arrange pineapple slices on plates. Toss veggies with chicken, oil, vinegar, lime juice, salt and pepper. Divide evenly on pineapple slices. Sprinkle the sesame seeds lightly over the salads.

IMAGINATION:  I would serve with fresh wedges of lemon, lime and oranges.. (Don't skimp - nice big bowlful of the citrus). Plus, make available jalapeno slices (fresh) and/or hot sauce for added oomph!  I also plan to try this with Ahi (lightly seared), or Shrimp (fresh, seared). None of these would add points for WW peeps, nor gluten. I will serve it with iced Jasmine Green Tea.

Your Broken Vase holds the Holy Spirit!

Do you not know?

Your body is the temple

(the very sanctuary)

of the Holy Spirit Who lives within you,

Whom you have received [as a Gift] from God?

You are not your own..

[1 Cor. 6:19]

Don't worry!  It's not a diet thing!  What I want you to grasp today is the revelation that the powerful spirit that raised Christ from the grave lives (dwells) inside of you! If you knew you were having royalty over for dinner, you would clean your house (I only hope you would).  You would put on your best dress, maybe pearls, fix your hair.  You would also make sure your family was clean and ready to receive the visit from the royal family.  That is what we should do to our bodies.  

Remember that we have royalty living inside us. Spruce it up a little! Maybe you've never been taught how to put on make-up or fix your hair.  What a great time to have a "beauty" party with a few of your friends!  Just remember the Lord loves you no matter what you look like!  He adores you and thinks you are beautiful!  He knows you better than you know yourself.  What I want you to remember is you are a part of royalty and I want you to put on your tiara and have a royal party! (Of course you will be inviting the "cackling hens"!)

It was You who formed my inward parts; 
You knit me together in my mother's womb. 
I will praise You, because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. 
Wonderful are Your works; that I know this very well.
[Psalm 139:13, 14]
