Our Tables Should Not be Stumbling Blocks

Q&A: On Food Ideologies, Eating Meat, Seasonal, Organic?
Today is Day Four into Redeeming the Table’s Q&A series with the focus on food ideologies. I get excited about this stuff, much more than ‘How’ we eat or bake. I’m always driven by why we do the things we do in regards to food. The breath & spirit of food and how that translatesContinue reading “Q&A: On Food Ideologies, Eating Meat, Seasonal, Organic?”
Q&A: How to Adapt to Grain-free & Refined Sugar Free Baking
Continuing on with the Q&A as I am focusing on baking.

Q&A: How We Choose To Eat (are we Paleo, GAPS, etc?)
Here is day 2 of Q&A at Redeeming the Table. Yesterday was about the mission & vision behind Redeeming the Table. Today focuses on how our family eats.

Q&A: Redeeming the Table’s Mission & Vision
In my attempt to iron out kinks & wrinkles in my life, I’m on a constant Spring Cleaning of the inner “closet” workings of my mind.

Justice in the form of Inclusivity (Part 2)
Reflections of food & Justice at Christ’s Table I’ve heard various sermons & read commentaries on the reasoning behind Jesus turning over tables in the temple shortly before Passover. His cry, “You’ve made my Father’s house into a den of thieves.” One explanation that I have found most powerful & aligning with the heart ofContinue reading “Justice in the form of Inclusivity (Part 2)”
Justice, Mercy & Humility for Your Unique Family (Part 1)
This is the beginning of a mini-series on bringing Justice, Mercy & Humility to your table. You can find the introduction on it, Micah 6:8.

It wasContinue reading “Justice, Mercy & Humility for Your Unique Family (Part 1)”
Cooking, Baking, & Eating Paleo (well, kind of)
I realized that I haven’t discussed much about how our family eats, or why we eat the way we do. It was a year ago where Ben & I took on a challenge for 30 days, where we eliminated all dairy, grains, legumes (yes peanuts too), & sugars (both refined & natural sources likeContinue reading “Cooking, Baking, & Eating Paleo (well, kind of)”
