A tuna and red pepper melt with dill is a quick easy dinner loaded with vitamin C, omega 3, and antioxidants. Since, I’m always looking for an easy meal after work, the quick preparation of this dish is a plus too!
Benefits
When I read an article about antioxidants I find comfort in knowing God preplanned its use long before I came along. Therefore if the article names flavonoids, anthocyanins, and saponins to help with inflammation I’m impressed.
However, when I look further into the research, and see dill showing a 70% free radical scavenging capacity and a 63% chance of chelating to heavy metals, I’m blown away! (1). Since I am exposed to heavy metals every single day, it makes sense to eat some fresh herbs that bind to them and move them out of my system.
Moreover, with this dish you’ll get plenty of Vitamin C, Vitamin A, fiber, a little calcium and good dose of essential fatty acids. The tuna alone will equip you with omega 3 (433mg), niacin (102%) , B12 (77%), and selenium (177% of your daily value). (2)
What shall I render to the Lord for all His benefits to me, indeed!
What shall I render to the Lord for all His benefits to me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord, I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people.
Place the Spinach leaves onto the Red Pepper wedges and sprinkle with onion powder.
Drain the tuna and place it in a small bowl. Add the onion, celery, sunflower seeds, mustard, and mayo and mix well.
Divide the tuna mixture over the four red pepper wedges and cover each with 1/2 slice of cheese (cut in fourths).
Place in a dish under the broiler until the cheese melts, just a couple of minutes. Top the pepper slices with fresh dill and enjoy!
So, enjoy this simple and nutrition packed meal for an easy and satisfying dinner! Also, while you’re here check out some other recipes, because what God puts in the garden is good!
You may not think eggs and sauerkraut with fresh herbs sound good in the morning, but you may be surprised! This delicious combination will provide a wonderful amount of protein, choline, lutein and zeaxanthin. Essential elements that are present for our brain and heart function. Although, eggs are not promoted as being heart healthy, new research is finding little to no association to eggs and heart health (1). Does this mean you can eat all the eggs you want?
Well, if you’re avoiding processed man-made food like doughnuts, chips, processed cookies in a package, sugar-laden cereals, sodas, teas, and the like…the answer is yes! Therefore, if you are eating God’s provision in the garden and partaking of fresh greens, homemade bread, lean beef/chicken/fish you’re most likely safe to eat at least one a day.

A Mood Boosting Breakfast with Salmon Tortilla
Filling my mind with God’s word in the morning feeds my soul and boosts my mood, it can yours too! The love of God comes to us through his word and assures us we can rely on His provision. Whether by land or sea, He continually supplies a fresh word or catch to sustain us body and soul! I am using some salmon from last night’s supper to create a mood boosting breakfast tortilla with veggies and fresh dill to accomplish part of that task today!
Salmon provides a good amount of essential omega3 fish oil in its natural form to help fight inflammation, lubricate blood vessels, and ease the hormone balance necessary for calming emotions. One study, found it helping elderly patients with mild to moderate depression.
The way I look at it is, if God created fish and Jesus lovingly prepared it for his disciples after his death, burial, and resurrection; it is beneficial for you and me too! My heart just melts when I think of him preparing breakfast for them after a long night of night of unsuccessful fishing because they are still mourning his recent death. It definitely fills my soul this morning…
Come, Have Breakfast
Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” They answered him, “No.” He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off. When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish that you have just caught.”
Heat the tortilla 10-12 seconds in the microwave to just heat, the salmon heat about 20 seconds, place the yogurt on the shell, cover with salad greens, the salmon, dill, avocado, and fresh red pepper, season it to your taste and enjoy!
Benefits
The benefits of this power packed fish tortilla include omega 3 and vitamin C. The whole grains and nutritional yeast provide B vitamins. Dill, on the other hand, has been studied in mice to restore aortic vessel wall function and reduce stiffening. Studies, like this offer glimmers of hope for those struggling with cardiovascular disease. Moreover, it is HARMLESS to take and adds wonderful flavor to food. So, enjoy a new breakfast tortillas and boost your brain power at the same time!

Oregano & Mushroom Cabbage Rolls
Cabbage As a Kid
When you have fresh oregano and cabbage coming along nicely in the garden it’s time to make some Oregano & Mushroom Cabbage Rolls! Do you remember as a kid not wanting to try cabbage because of the smell? I do too! I’m not sure what made me try it…..oh wait! YES, I do. My mom would make the classic southern cabbage casserole with butter, cheese and crackers!
Yep, that’s how my siblings and friends grew up. But the good thing is we developed a taste for the natural sweetness of cabbage. So, as we got older we learned to try it other ways. Maturity makes us try new things doesn’t it? We want more out of life, and to provide more for those around us. The benefits of which, reap rewards for years to come. Keep in mind, some of the nutrients in this amazing food is lost when we boil it, like it’s vitamin C.(1) It is much better to make a fermented sauerkraut to retain this vital nutrient.
Benefits of Oregano, Mushroom, & Cabbage
However, for this dish, we will steam the cabbage to try and retain some of it’s vitamins, while releasing some of it’s antioxidant potential.
Cooking or steaming cabbage can release the antioxidant kaempferol that has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, cardioprotective, and antidiabetic properties. This is one food you definitely want in your arsenal to fight disease! (3)
The highest amount of flavonoids have been found in parsley, dill, oregano, celery, and fennel! Fresh herbs you can grow yourself and add to your dishes each day for flavor and nutrition (2). Therefore, growing oregano can benefit your entire family. God’s amazing plan for your health began the third day of creation and is still in effect today. So, take advantage of this beautiful herb for it’s anticancer effects! You will also experience beneficial cardiovascular effects, antimicrobial benefits, and more!
Mushrooms are also high in polyphenols, polysaccharides, anti-cancer, improve immune system, and help with diabetes.
God’s Provision
The bottom line, as I always say is “What God put in the garden is good!”
I was reading Luke chapter 12 today. There are so many principles in this passage of scripture that help me and you appreciate everything God provides. Jesus basically tells his disciples not to worry, and not to hoard up things for themselves. He reminds them to be faithfully wise managers of everything.
Peter said, “Lord, are you telling this parable for us or for all?” And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.
We learn in this passage and throughout scripture that wise choices, trusting God, and submitting our lives to Him are for our benefit. The honor and privilege of abundant sources of nutrition strengthens our bodies for the mission field around us! Our families, neighbors, friends, and coworkers will know of His great love. So, I hope you have time to try these Oregano & Mushroom Cabbage Rolls this week! Your cells with thank you!
Here is the Recipe!
Oregano & Mushroom Cabbage Rolls
Fresh Oregano and garden grown cabbage make this delicious and nutritious meal for your family. My family has grown cabbage and enjoyed it's benefits for many years. I'm inspired by all the previous recipes for cabbage rolls, but I like mine without tomato. So I developed a cabbage roll I can enjoy with my family. I hope it is something you'll enjoy too!
1 Medium Head Organic Cabbage
3 Medium Carrots, finely sliced
2 Cloves Garlic Minced
2 Small Onions or one large Halved and chopped
1 Package Organic Shitake Mushrooms
1 Cup Precooked Quinoa or Whole Grain Rice
2 Lbs. Lean Grass Fed Beef
1/4 Cup Fresh Chopped Oregano
1/2 Tsp. Salt
1 Tsp. Onion Powder or No Salt Seasoning
1. Core and slice your head of cabbage in half. Place in a colander thin put it inside a large pot with shallow water and steam until just tender, about 20-30 min.
2. Meanwhile, sauté your lean ground beef with minced garlic, 1/2 of the onions (save the other half for toppings), two of the carrots (save one for topping), 1/2 of the mushrooms (save the other half for topping) , salt, onion powder, and/or no salt spice blend. (about 20min)
3. When the ground beef is browned and the vegetables tender and the cabbaged cooled you can assemble and roll the beef mixture on the individual cabbage leaves and roll. When the beef is done, at the very end, add the fresh chopped oregano.
**Be sure to let the cabbage cool enough to handle, this is why the prep time is longer, You can go clean the house or something while you wait. **
4. Place the rolled cabbage leaves into a lightly oiled 9×13 pan. I use organic extra virgin olive oil for this and leave a tablespoon to brush onto the cabbage rolls once the pan is filled.
5. I use a vegetable peeler to slice thin carrots over the cabbage rolls. I also add the remaining sliced mushrooms, onions, sprinkle with onion powder and salt and a tablespoon of fresh oregano.
6. I bake this dish at 350 degrees for about 20 min.

Savory Cabbage Cashew & Broccoli Sauté
We start our garden the Saturday after St. Patrick’s day, weather permitting, of course. There is usually cold weather and rain most of the month, but usually a week or two of warm dry days come along to allow tilling and planting. We take advantage of those rare spring days to plant broccoli, cabbage, onions, and potatoes.
The abundance of cabbage and broccoli this year make for some tasty dishes in the kitchen starting in late May! There is nothing more satisfying to my palate than picking my own home-grown vegetables and coming up with recipes. I hope this Savory Cabbage Cashew & Broccoli Sauté will become one of your favorite summertime dishes as it has in our home.
Cabbage Benefits
Do you notice something about the head of cabbage in this picture? It has some well eaten leaves from a voracious cabbage worm, however the head grew healthy and strong. We use organic compost to fertilize the soil and we do not spray any pesticides on our plants. So, we expect a few eaten leaves and watch God do what He does best, water it and make it grow.
His supply of nutrients for us never runs out if we just partake of what He provides in the garden. The amazing benefits of cabbage begin with it’s rich supply of macronutrients and cancer fighting compounds. It is helpful in digestion, fighting inflammation, and providing necessary minerals to help our joints function. The calcium, magnesium, and potassium in this healthy plant also provide nutrients necessary to stabilize heart and blood vessel function. You can read all about the benefits of cabbage at this Organic Facts site.
Giving Thanks
“Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord God, you are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering yourself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens as a tent. From your lofty abode you water the mountains; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work. You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food from the earth and wine to gladden the heart of man, oil to make his face shine and bread to strengthen man’s heart. Psalm 104: 1, 13-15

Fennel Pesto & Cucumber Wraps
Fennel pesto and cucumber wraps make refreshing snacks or delicious tea party side dishes. Today, however I am enjoying these wraps as a quick lunch. The abundance of fennel fronds in the herb garden will help me out on this tasty tidbit. Since I also keep walnuts and a block of Romano cheese on hand, I’m all set to blend this yumminess together.
Here is what you’ll need for these Fennel Pesto & Cucumber Wraps
One Seedless Organic Cucumber Sliced
1 Cup of Organic Greens
1 Tablespoon of Fresh Fennel Pesto
2 Fresh made Tortilla Wraps (See recipe in the link below)
Fennel Pesto
2 Cups Fennel Fronds removed from the stems
2 Tablespoons of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/3 Cup of Walnuts
1/3 Cup Shredded Romano Cheese
1 Lemon, juiced
1/4 Tsp. of Salt
1/4 Tsp. Pepper
Blend all the ingredients in a bullet and serve with either Tortilla Recipe pictured below!
Our entire family loves broccoli! The bigger, the better. Since the dark cherries are slightly tart and sweet, I wanted to combine them with the broccoli for a broccoli and cherry salad. This crop of broccoli is much more impressive than the last two year’s crop.
I decided at the end of February to dig some fresh compost to fill our boxed bed before planting the broccoli. Since the tree line to the right of our property has been the dumping ground of all grass clippings, old trees, leaves, and vegetables rinds for the past twenty-five years, it seemed like a good place to find multiple nutrients.
Leave it to God to use time and His creation to decompose one source of vegetation to nourish and help another grow! He never ceases to amaze me. The broccoli seedlings were planted in late March and survived temperatures as low as 21 degrees! We covered them with a sheet and hoped for the best! You can see below, with a little tender loving care and resilience these plants thrived!
Much like the covering of theses plants in the frigid air, my heart needs God’s covering to protect it too. Especially when there are some tough moments when I feel some coldness from others. I admit my part in this, ask forgiveness, and cry out to God to heal the relationship. It is all I can do.
Do you know what happens? He holds me through the cold. I feel the warmth of his love envelop me and protect my heart just like that sheet protected my plants that freezing April morning.
My heart recoils within me my compassion grows warm and tender.
We can enjoy what He puts in the garden and savor the nourishment for our souls in His Word.
God Bless you as you partake of both today!

Fresh Oregano Chicken & Zucchini
It is always fun to use fresh herbs to make an old favorite more appealing and flavorful. So, I picked a few oregano leaves to create a fresh oregano chicken and zucchini dish. As with any herb, applying them at the end or after cooking allows them to retain their nutritional benefits. For instance, adding fresh oregano to this dish adds antioxidants like thymol, carvacrol, limonene, terpinene, ocimene, and caryophyllene. It’s loaded!
Oregano Benefits
Why are these antioxidants so important? They help reduce cancer cell growth, are used to combat diabetes, they have anti-inflammatory benefits, as well as antibacterial properties. God knew long before he created mankind the diseases he would face and how well his plant creations will help with healing.
This boatful perennial herb is easy to grow, too! All we have to do is plant it and watch it come back year after year.
If that’s not exciting enough, just imagine the flavor. It is peppery an pungent right off the stem, but mellows to a superbly tasty enhancement just wilted in this chicken dish. So, get ready for an easy, healthy, and delicious meal!
Fresh Oregano Chicken & Zucchini
Here’s what you’ll need:
2 Cups Precooked Chicken (Baked and sliced or Rotisserie Shredded)
1 Medium Organic Zucchini Chopped
1 Thinly sliced Carrot
1/2 Thin Sliced Onion
1 Tbsp. Fresh Chopped Oregano (No stems)
2 Tbsp. Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 Tsp. Onion Powder
1/2 Tsp. pepper
Heat your skillet to medium heat, add the oil then the onions, carrots, and zucchini. Add the onion powder and pepper to the vegetables sauté until just tender, about 10 min. I do not add salt to this dish because the rotisserie chicken I used for this was well seasoned and all I had to do was add it to the skillet to warm when the vegetables were cooked. The last minute I added the fresh cut oregano. It is Yummy!
I hope you enjoy what God puts in the garden near you, whether it is in your local grocery store or farmer’s market. While His garden is pleasing your belly, let HIs word freshen your soul:
He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord. Blessed is the man who makes the Lord his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie!
I have to admit right off the bat, I never look for salad recipes. Therefore, I don’t expect anyone else to do that either. So, when a lady requested some salad recipes, I realized what I take for granted in my daily regimen is not the same for everyone. Therefore, if you are looking for a fresh take and full impact for staying full, you’re in the right place. Sustaining and easy salad ideas are here for your enjoyment!
Breakfast Salad and Eggs
Now, don’t be put off by the thought of salad first thing in the morning. It is delicious! The firs thing to do is get that image of iceberg lettuce out of your head and think about lucious spinach, arugula, and beet greens found in an organic 50/50 blend of greens.
The benefit is a good start to your day of magnesium, manganese, potassium, vitamin E, protein, and antioxidants to get you through your morning without feeling hungry or deprived. Here is how simple it is:
Gather 2 cups of salad greens on a plate or shallow bowl, sprinkle with some onion powder, drizzle a capful of organic extra virgin olive oil over it plus a capful of apple cider vinegar, and set aside.
Prepare two free range eggs according to your preference: soft, medium, hard cooked over 1 tsp of organic extra virgin olive oil. In the same skillet add 1 tablespoon of sunflower seeds and 1 tablespoon of pumpkin seeds, until just toasted.
Place the eggs and seeds over your greens and enjoy!
Prebiotic and Probiotic Loaded Salad Fix
Another sustaining and easy salad idea comes from the same salad mix of 50/50 blend or this salad. It is a perfect blend of flavor and nutrition: Here’s what you add:
1 cup finely chopped broccoli
1 cup finely chopped carrots
1/2 cup cucumbers
1/4 cup finely sliced beets
1/4 cup each blueberries and blackberries
If you prefer you can add 3 ounces of your favorite meat (chicken breast, fish, steak) or 1/2 cup garbanzo beans.
For your dressing Mix 1/4 cup full fat plain Greek Yogurt with 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, and a tablespoon of fresh parsley and lemon balm. It’s better with minced, juicy tablespoon of onion (but if you’re in a hurry use the onion powder).
God’s Word Sustains Us Too!
The Lord sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness you restore him to full health.
The Lord does sustain us in our times of sickness and restores us to full health. Moreover, this is not just physical, but also spiritual and mental. I need Him to sustain me every day, His word provides the encouragement I need to overcome mental attacks and his garden provides all the nutrients to fight against environmental attacks.
Take advantage of these sustaining and easy salad ideas today, my friend, because what’s in God’s garden is so good!
Two 15 Minute Preparation Day Meals
Two Easy Meals for One or Two People
Hello, my heart friend. I find myself in need of a few quick meals that are easy to prepare and store for my lunch the next day. How about you? Thinking ahead and preparing the meals on my preparation day, helps me eat a little healthier too. I know I want my vegetables to be crisp and flavorful, so stir-fry is my go to. Shrimp is on sale this week and it will compliment the veggies well for my first meal.
The second meal, incorporates broccoli, cauliflower, and carrots with Adele’s Chicken Apple Sausage. So, here is your shopping list for both:
1 lb. organic carrots
1 bunch organic broccoli
1 head of cauliflower
1 ounce of coconut aminos
2 tablespoons organic extra virgin olive oil
1 cup fresh snap peas
1 onion
1 lb organic button mushrooms
1 package Adele’s Chicken apple sausage
1 12 oz bag shrimp
1 red pepper
Onion powder
1 bulb of garlic
If you are in a pinch and do not have time (or the energy) to cut up all theses vegetables don’t hesitate to make your life a little easier and substitute a 12 ounce bag of frozen, already chopped stir-fry vegetables and a 12 ounce bag of California Style vegetables. They both contain all of the vegetables listed above.
15 Minute Shrimp Stir-Fry
First, sauté 1 cup of precooked shrimp in 1 minced clove of garlic and heated olive oil, heat for about a minute then remove from the skillet and set aside.
Second, place the stir-fry vegetables into the skillet ( this can be your 12 ounce bag of stir-fry vegetables) or sauté 1/2 cup mushrooms in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add the onions, then the carrots, stir until just tender, add 1/4 cup diced red pepper and snap peas. Add the 1 cup chopped broccoli last. Mix 1 ounce of coconut aminos with 2 ounces of water and add this to the pan, stir well then add incorporate the shrimp.
It only takes about 15 minutes. ****I do not add salt to this dish because the coconut aminos is high in sodium, it is spread throughout the dish, but if you are on a low sodium diet you may want to use less, maybe a teaspoon instead of an ounce***
15 Minute California Blend with Chicken Apple Sausage
First, heat a medium skillet with very lightly coated olive oil.
Next, thinly slice the sausage and sauté until browned. Remove from heat, cover, and set aside. Add 1 ounce of olive oil mixed with two ounces of water to the skillet. Follow that with 1 tsp onion powder, 1 teaspoon pepper, and a pinch of salt.
Lastly, stir until just tender and return the sausage to the pan, mix well and serve or store for lunch the next day!
I hope these easy 15 minute meals help you have an easier week! Maybe it will offer you less time to stress over what to eat and more time to spend enjoying life. Here is a beautiful message from Paul in chapter 5 of Romans to spend some time on today as you check off one more thing on your to do list:
Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have also obtained access through Him by faith[ into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. And not only that, but we also rejoice in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance,endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. This hope will not disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
