Follow along. Maybe you'll find a fresh breeze, or a calm spring day, or a challenge for yourself.

Recipe Time! Egg salad sandwiches

Over the past several months, I've been keeping an eye out for natural anti-inflammatory foods.  One of the ingredients I found was tumeric.  But apart from Indian foods, most recipes don't call for tumeric.  Tumeric is an orange spice which is much like paprika - a mild, peppery flavor.  It is also used as a dye, so be aware of that when you're using it!

Well, I got a hunkering for egg salad recently and today I came up with the best recipe I've ever tried - and it included this powerful anti-inflammatory spice!  So I thought I'd share...


Ingredients

  • 4 eggs (free-range organic)
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream
  • 1 tablespoons prepared mustard (organic, any kind)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon tumeric
  • 1 tablespoon dill pickle, minced

  • I used heaping tablespoons for the sour cream, mustard and pickle.  It was the perfect blend of dill flavor and creamy egg-and-vinegar.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

"Premonition" doesn't quite cut it.  It feels more like the Holy Spirit guiding and preparing me.

I woke up with this feeling... its going to be a lonnnng day.  After getting ready, I headed out the door for church.  Even though I was not planning on leaving early, I still found myself asking a friend to take care of things for me after service.  I guess I just wanted a break.  But the feeling wouldn't go away.

I am so glad I did.  The Holy Spirit had prepared things for me so I could get up and leave when I needed to, about half way through service.  I cried the whole way home.  Finding out someone lied to you is never easy.  But I'm glad the Holy Spirit prepared things for me today.
