Mysty PfefferOn the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable.
1 Corinthians 12:22
A clear picture of my need for others is in this verse. How many times have you held a baby and just could not resist hugging or kissing them……..especially if they’re part of you! They are weak and seemingly offer us nothing, however the sheer innocence of their presence offers indispensable hope! We need them and we need each other.
We have many needs in our spiritual body that require the gifts and talents of others. They are at our fingertips, a text or phone call away. I’m comforted I don’t have to hesitate, I can reach out for them today. Just as I can reach to the garden to meet my needs physically. Here is how you and I can do that today, using leftovers from the night before.
1. Asparagus On An English Muffin with Fresh Herbs
- 1 Egg
- 1 Tbsp. Leftover Steamed Asparagus
- 1 Tsp. Grated Romano Cheese
- 1 Tbsp. Fresh Herbs ( I used my favorite lemon balm, fennel, parsley)
- 1/2 Tsp Organic Olive Oil
Super easy preparation….In a mug, place your olive oil. Add one beaten egg, the asparagus, and cheese, microwave on High 1 minute. Place over English muffin and top with fresh herbs.
2. Gluten Free?….No problem, prepare items and place over leftover Wild Grain Rice
3. Low Carb for You?…….Easy fix, place egg mixture over a bed of greens with fresh herbs.
Eggs not your thing?
Adjust accordingly by combining 1/2 cup wild grain rice, a teaspoon of Romano cheese, Leftover steamed asparagus, a tablespoon of pumpkin seeds, and a tablespoon of walnuts. Heat in microwave 1 minute.
Why Fresh Herbs?
As we learned in our verse today, every part of our body is indispensable. That includes our gut health.
Fresh herbs aid in the digestion of our food, provide vital polyphenols and flavonoids to help us fight inflammation, disease and cell damage. All antioxidants and nutrients help us sustain and nourish our bodies. So, it is a good idea to add a few items from the garden to each meal.
I pray you have peace and nourishment in your body and soul today! What’s in the garden is good!
