Love learning new things!


One of our meals during our ultimate reset was Kabocha squash. It was delicious and both John and I enjoyed it. Click here for video.

This will totally be a new staple on our menu.

My garlic-tahini sauce did come out as smooth as the picture in the book. But it was pretty good!

We both also ate the skin, it's thin and full of fiber 😃

We also learned some cool facts about this yummy squash.....

✅ It's an anti inflammatory

It's full of:
✅ Beta carotene
✅ Iron
✅ Vitamins A, C, fiber and some B vitamins

And.....
✅ it's 40 calories
✅ has less than half the carbs of most other squash about 7 grams per cup.

Most likely won't be making the chickpea mash for breakfast after the Reset, the microgreen salad will make a comeback, not my favorite but it's good and filling, the Kabocha squash heck yes!

And we even got to try it in a coconut Kabocha squash soup the next day!  Think I may have made it too thick it was more like porridge.  Not horrible, but I prefer the squash with the tahini garlic sauce over the coconut soup.

I’ve had my copy for well over 20 years and it is highlighted and tabbed and falling apart but it is and always will be my go to!! During Lent I was so excited to pray with the Hallow App and the reason I was so excited was that they were doing reflections on the Imitation of Christ, and it was a blessed Lenten Season with Hallow and that blessing continues for both me and my beloved today as it has become a part of our daily routine. Which I have to say is anything but routine but joyously consistent. Back at the beginning of Lent I ordered a revised translation from Pauline Books, it took a few months but I received the book recently and have been loving it. I enjoy very similar translations to my penguin classic and I am blessed by the reflections and prayers at the end of each section. And

Usefulness of Adversity

  Today the reading I turned to was Usefulness in Adversity. For me it reminds me to draw closer to God, to seek His wisdom and guidance and to always remember that it is He who sees my heart.

Avoiding rash judgement

I love starting my day with a random reading from the Imitation of Christ!  Somehow it always seems to be just what I need to hear for that day.  This morning was no different, the reading was on avoiding rash judgement.
