Ministering through your kitchen...

The generous soul will be made rich,
and he who waters will also be watered himself.
Proverbs 11:25

We had several opportunities to minister through our kitchen last week. We were also minister to from others gardens and kitchens. Look for an opportunity to show God's love this week with something from your oven or veggie garden!

Here are a few ideas:

Gifts from the kitchen:

A plate of goodies with a note of appreciation attached with colorful ribbon

Gift Ideas:

A little gift of kitchen gadgets and a cookbook we put together for a new bride

Tonya and I fixed supper for Susan and her family one night. We got to see Avery for the first time! She is beautiful!! We took this little happy for Carter, who's 4. It is a bag with Air Heads and a small toy. I often make these little bags for birthdays and Christmas. Be sure to get individually wrapped candy so moms can dole it out a piece at a time. I usually include a bit of cash or a gift certificate.
It was fun ministering with Tonya, who came to my rescue with a loaf of Cole's bread!!
Thanks, Tonya!!

Food gifts we received:

Peppers, tomatoes and okra from Judy and Susan!!
A jar of homemade tomato relish from Tonya's kitchen!!
Yum, yum yum and many thanks to all!!

M.C.'s birthday Chocolate Cobbler from Ms. Tonya!! Thanks for sharing with the rest of us, M.C.!!
Tonya is always so good to put our cobblers in a pan that doesn't need returning!!
This is a big help, especially when there's a new baby or death in the family.
This cobbler was delicious, as usual!! Thank you, Tonya for making M.C. feel special!!

Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute - Regular and Reduced-Fat Versions

Although very convenient, commercially prepared condensed soups are expensive and may contain additives and ingredients you'd prefer to skip. You can use these condensed soup substitutes in dishes instead of commercially prepared condensed soups. These homemade substitutes are very easy and quick to make! They taste much better, too. I have almost stopped purchasing the canned versions. Using heart-healthy butter spreads, low-fat or fat-free milk, and low-sodium broth allows you to make these recipes more healthful. You can customize with these simple recipes by adding other seasonings such as garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, etc. Condensed Cream of Celery Soup Condensed Cream of Chicken Substitute Condensed Cream of Mushroom Substitute Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup Substitute 3 tablespoons butter 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 cup milk 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese salt, to taste Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; add flour and whisk until s...

Georgia Cornbread Cake

I clipped this recipe several years ago from American Profile, which is a small magazine insert that come with our local newspaper, The Pontotoc Progress. It is yummy, yummy, yummy! I love the story that accompanied the recipe and was delighted when a Google searched turned up the same article on the web! Larry took this to work, and he said it was a huge hit with everyone! Enjoy! Georgia Cornbread Cake Georgia Cornbread Cake Recipe of Stella T. Thompson from American Profile "I am 86 years old and have been cooking since I was 9.

Dough Burgers

Dough Burgers Dough burgers are popular in our neck of the woods. Phillips Grocery in Oxford has received national acclaim for their top-secret-recipe dough burger. I ate two while I was staying at the hospital with my dad recently! It is the nearest restaurant! When Larry and I were newlyweds and living in New Albany, we loved going to Latham’s for their yummy version of this delicious sandwich. Several other area cities also offer well-known versions of this unique burger. Tupelo’s Johnny’s Drive-In has the "Johnnieburger," and Corinth even has a festival named in honor of their dough burger, affectionately known as “The Slugburger.” Here in our own dear Pontotoc, we love the "Wonderburger" at Butcher Block! Dough burgers supposedly originated during the Great Depression. Adding flour was a great way to stretch hamburger meat. While possibly born out of necessity, it has remained a part of the Southern diet due to its delectable taste. I’ve eaten my share ...
