A New Life Choice

It seems the more information We learn and ponder on requires us to make some kind of life choice. Do we ignore the information?.....find more research to document the information?...ignore it all together after all we are very busy people and do not have time to dwell on it......Or make a life choice that brings about change. Either way a choice is made, to do something or nothing and all choices have consequences.
After watching "Forks Over Knives", each of our family units have decided to make a change toward eating more plant based foods. This is a huge change and mind shift for some of us so we are working together to encourage and support each other.
In our next several posts we will be sharing new recipes and cookbooks, more information on documented studies, and our struggles and triumphs. Our combined households include ages 22 months to 83, a grand total of 19 life forces. This will definitely be an adventure.

Introducing Black Bean Burgers

Ok, we have a new favorite.  Black bean burgers. I will definitely be working on perfecting a recipe that holds together well for the grill. Tonight we seared them in a hot iron skillet and they were yummy. All agreed they were quite tasty. The only quandary was, "Do we really want to eat something that looks like a ground beef patty but it is not?" The consensus  here is we do not want any pretend meat. We want to enjoy plant based eating for what it is, plant based.  But I think the black bean burgers will be an exception.
I ate mine without bread, the same way I would have eaten a hamburger. Everyone else enjoyed them sandwich style with all the fixins'.  Being able to make these 24 hours ahead of time, store them in the fridge and cook them for supper the next days definitely a plus. Have also read that they freeze well. Little patties would make great snacks for lunch.......Next we will be trying black bean enchiladas.

Raising up the Next Generation of Faithfulness

Being blessed with six boys and three girls born into our family has given us a wonderful opportunity to raise more men and women of God. Our continual vigilance in the task of raising them to be godly sons, brothers, husbands. fathers and daughters, sisters, wives. and mothers is paramount. Through God's grace they will all be His. So let us stand strongly united together, encouraging one another to remain faithful to the task. So their hearts will always be moldable in His hands.
