Middle Eastern

Missions trips meal #2 was at a Middle Eastern restaurant.

The first things on our table were dishes of hummus and baba ganoush with a basket of warm pita triangles. The baba ganoush was excellent. Even the kids were devouring it. The hummus dish remained almost full. If you've never had baba ganoush you seriously need to try it!

Shortly after consuming a ton of baba ganoush we received our main dish of pita pockets with a meat inside. I chose chicken. Then you go up to a fixings bar and make it really yummy. So many things to choose from. I wound up just putting my fixings on the side and dipping my pocket into whatever one I wanted. Delish!

Another outstanding meal and it's not just because we were starving. :-)

Salvadorian

How about some missions trip food?

Our first night in DC included a fantastic meal at a Salvadorian restaurant. The pancake looking thing on my plate is a cheese filled pupusa. Seriously good stuff. Must find a recipe for these.

After dinner we took a prayer tour of the city. I was really moved by the various stops, especially the end, when we parked on a hill that over looked the city of lights. "What would Jesus think of this city?" Definitely one of my favorite activities!

Experiments with food

So, it comes as no surprise to me that I haven't posted in a while. I knew it would happen.

Anyway, just wanted to share some of my newest food "experiments". And by experiments I mean that they don't quite fit my norm. My efforts to eat healthier have lead me here.

This morning I had the most delicious oatmeal I've ever eaten! I found the recipe on Pinterest and it's called refrigerator oatmeal. Basically you put uncooked oatmeal, Greek yogurt and some milk in a small mason jar and shake it up. Then add what ever sweetener and flavor (such as cinnamon and applesauce) you want. Shake again and then stick it in the fridge over night. In the morning take it out and enjoy an easy, yummy breakfast!
