So if you’re interested, here’s a condensed list of the seven foods–you can visit Sharecare.com for more details!

Every Flower
We…see God reaching out to us in every wind that blows, every sunrise and sunset, every cloud in the sky, every flower that blooms, and every leaf that fades. OSWALD CHAMBERS (1874-1917)

Spinach, Blueberry, and Blue Cheese Salad with Blueberry Vinaigrette
Salads make great light lunches on hot, humid days and it’s even more convenient when you can make them ahead of time for work or just to have handy at home. I found lots of great grab-and-go ideas in Mason Jar Salads and More by Julia Mirabella. The salads are made by layering the ingredients vertically in Mason…

Banana-Zucchini Bread
If you were to guess what Banana-Zucchini Bread would be like, you’d probably say it would be moist, because it has both zucchini and bananas in it, after all. And you would be right–about this recipe, anyway. It has the perfect moist texture—not overly moist, but just right.

Deviled Egg Potato Salad
Two of my favorite summer foods are deviled eggs and potato salad. So why not put them together? I decided to try that out, and found that this Deviled Egg Potato Salad is soooo good! The deviled egg mixture is so yummy with a sprinkling of paprika on top and the potato salad is a creamy…

Berry Walnut Granola
I am a big fan of granola, and I prefer homemade—I think it tastes so much better! I’ve posted several recipes for granola bars, like Crunchy Honey Almond Granola Bars, Dark Chocolate Granola Bars, and chewier Granola Bars. I’ve also made an unsweetened Cranberry Raisin Nut Toasted Oat Cereal. So I thought it was about time I posted a granola…

Cocoa Banana Smoothie
I think this just may be the hottest week of summer. And that calls for a smoothie—even better, a chocolate smoothie! There’s a soy and non-soy version for this recipe, so you can take your pick. The smoothie I made pictured here is the soy version. I’ve never made a smoothie with tofu before, and it…

Taken Care Of
Here’s a promise God has given to each one of us—whatever is happening in our lives, He’s there with us and He’s taking care of us! It may be hard to see or understand how He is working sometimes, but even then, know that He is taking care of you and working in the situation for your ultimate…

A Peaceful Heart
Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, it empties today of its strength. CORRIE TEN BOOM (1892-1983, Author of The Hiding Place) “Don’t worry” is easy to say, but so hard to do…yet we really don’t need to worry, since God has everything under control and continues to take care of us. Praying you…

Blackberry Banana Bread
It was just a matter of time before I made this Blackberry Banana Bread, since I love trying different banana bread recipes and blackberry season is in full swing! This recipe makes a nice, full loaf that is dense and moist and full of banana and blackberry flavor. It also has a rich buttery taste and the buttermilk gives…
-
Blackberry Scones
I made make another blackberry recipe with those blackberries I picked. I thought blackberry scones would be nice to try, and I actually tried a recipe out last week which did not turn out well at all! But I wasn’t quite ready to give up on blackberry scones, so this was my second attempt. And these…

Blackberry Buttermilk Cake
I mentioned in my last post that I had been picking some blackberries this past week. And this is one of the recipes I made with them–Blackberry Buttermilk Cake. It’s a recipe I’ve had for awhile, clipped from a newspaper and kept in one of my recipe binders. I thought I’d make it again to share on…
