I have seen loneliness. That morning waking up to realize what I thought was a bad dream was in fact reality. It would soon play out as one of the worst years of my life to date. My dad would be in jail for the first time, I began college, my younger brother was toContinue reading “Pear Pie with Lemon-Vanilla Honey Syrup (Grain-free)”

When Sharing the Table is Hard
I’ve realized how I can talk about hospitality and like the sound of it. Or how sharing the table is an easy thing. But, if I’m really honest with myself, I find certain parts appealing and the messy parts as inconveniences. The problem revolves around the brokenness of people. Today I attended a conference,Continue reading “When Sharing the Table is Hard”
A Place of Vulnerability and Trust
Rather than write myself, I find this excerpt from yesterday’s reading in Bread for the Journey by Henri Nouwen to convey what it is we receive when we share the table. When we gather around the table and eat from the same loaf and drink from the same cup, we are most vulnerable to oneContinue reading “A Place of Vulnerability and Trust”
Small Kitchen (Day 3)
Yesterday while putting away dishes I was struck with the smallness of my kitchen. When Ben and I got married, our first apartment was relatively average among newlywed apartment kitchen standards; but, without a dishwasher. Our next home would be a duplex, which had the kitchen as the home base for the washer and dryer.Continue reading “Small Kitchen (Day 3)”
Apple Crumb Tart (Grain & Dairy Free)
In college I lived in a house with nine other women. Sometimes I wonder if this was God preparing this sister to brothers only for a daughter only household. One thing I did find was what it is like to have sisters in a very communal living environment. We would all put money into groceriesContinue reading “Apple Crumb Tart (Grain & Dairy Free)”
Share the Table. 31 Days 2013.
Share the Table. What does this even mean? One of my favorite artists is Nikki McClure. Her method is using paper cuts by using an Xacto knife. I have her calendar hanging by means of a paper clip on my entryway board. Her pieces usually have this lovely hidden message within the image. MostContinue reading “Share the Table. 31 Days 2013.”
Another October Means 31 days of…
I think this just might be against my better judgement, but I’m going to join in with 31 days of writing/blogging this October. If you have been a follower of Redeeming the Table, then you’ll remember last year’s Oktoberfeast and the year before that of Myers-Briggs. This year is going to follow a semi-differentContinue reading “Another October Means 31 days of…”
Vegan Creamy Gazpacho
If you blink in the Pacific Northwest summer could be over that quickly. Meanwhile, in the deserts of Arizona it lasts long into October. As a child in Arizona, we began school a couple weeks prior to Labor Day. So, when my Washington raised husband referred to Labor Day as the official unofficial end ofContinue reading “Vegan Creamy Gazpacho”
Coming Back to the Table
End of Summer Feast As I’ve been away, I’ve noticed how life hasn’t gotten easier. There haven’t been these grandiose enlightenments happening here. Rather, there is still me stretched four ways amongst my family and feeling quite empty on most afternoons. I painted a spot on my kitchen cabinet with chalkboard paint. The firstContinue reading “Coming Back to the Table”
Honeyed Rhubarb Grilled Salmon
When you grow up in the desert and your dad doesn’t fish, it’s not highly unlikely to see the absence of fish at the table. Maybe that’s why my older brother never liked fish. Still to this day he has a hard time with the smell of fish. But, I think it has more toContinue reading “Honeyed Rhubarb Grilled Salmon”
