Day 13: On Coffee

Living in the Pacific Northwest there are a couple things, which stand true about this sublime region. It rains or is overcast quite a bit. When it’s sunny, everyone is out in it. Vitamin D deficiency is prominent as a result. Coffee is a way of life. Good coffee is a way of life.Continue reading “Day 13: On Coffee”

Day 12: More on Menu Planning

Do you know why I have never written on menu planning here? It’s because I don’t think in all the years I’ve been married (10 years) I have actually followed a menu plan. I think it’s pride. And then, evaluating my food budget I’m served a piece of humble pie. The fact of theContinue reading “Day 12: More on Menu Planning”

Day 11: Maybe the Table is the Church

Does 4:30 in the morning count for yesterday’s post or should we call it grace swapped for a tired mama falling asleep at 8:30 at night? I’ve been stewing lately about food at the table & church. Bear with me and my process. I’ve been thinking about how I want an intentional life. We cannotContinue reading “Day 11: Maybe the Table is the Church”

Day 9: Imagine there’s no…

Did you know that today is John Lennon’s birthday? And what song do you think of when Lennon’s name is mentioned (post-Beatles)? Yesterday I wrote about the ministry of food over at MomHeart Blog. Today I went over to see if there were any comments to respond to and found comment after comment of lamentContinue reading “Day 9: Imagine there’s no…”

Day 8: The Ministry of Food

My ENFJ comes out when given the opportunity to teach others, specifically in my areas of expertise or passion. I didn’t quite realize how food and teaching intertwine in my soul bursting forward, in order to get people in the kitchen. I desire to see both foodie and non to find their place in cooking,Continue reading “Day 8: The Ministry of Food”

Day 7: Foods I Love

Today Caprice is 8 weeks old and it has gone by altogether too quickly. My appetite was hit or miss throughout pregnancy, while postpartum I have experienced the joys of eating. I have even been able to cook and pray little graces while slicing an onion or stirring spices. I thought I’d share some ofContinue reading “Day 7: Foods I Love”

Day 6: Oktoberfest or Oktoberfeast: On Beer

Throughout my recent pregnancy I found myself craving beer a lot, which is abnormal considering I’m not a huge beer drinker. I would take red wine over beer nine times out of ten. Then, Caprice was born and my desire for beer boomed. Maybe it was hormones adjusting, or maybe due to our incredible PacNWContinue reading “Day 6: Oktoberfest or Oktoberfeast: On Beer”

Day 5: How Starbucks Can Teach Us About Gathering

Have you ever been moved to tears by a good pie? I haven’t, I was simply asking if you have. I think I would if it was my Grandma who had made the pie and I had one more day with her. But, it wouldn’t be the pie itself; rather, it would be the person,Continue reading “Day 5: How Starbucks Can Teach Us About Gathering”

Day 4: Feasting on Food Stories

I have written some on what I call “feasting on food stories” here at Redeeming the Table, because if you know me, you know when I read food stories or experience them firsthand, I swoon. Here are some of my favorite ones. Handling a Person’s Soul Like a Piece of Fruit Learning to Feast withContinue reading “Day 4: Feasting on Food Stories”

Day 3: Delighting in Food

Paleo Pumpkin Pecan Scones We’ve been getting rather unusual weather for Bellingham this past month. In fact, it was one of the most glorious summers to date and September hands down. We have only seen one day of rain, which makes those living in the forest a bit weary. But, I’m taking it all inContinue reading “Day 3: Delighting in Food”
