Smoothie du jour: Berry Beet Ginger
I came up with this smoothie because it’s all I had in the freezer/fridge that was smoothie worthy. It’s delicious!

3/4 c frozen chopped beets*
1 1/2 c frozen blueberries
chunk of fresh ginger root (about 1/2 x 1 inch) peeled
1 can V8 Fusion, strawberry banana
1 c ice

Add ingredients to a high speed blender. Blend until smooth.

The frozen ingredients, combined with the bite of ginger, makes this a refreshing drink. High in antioxidants, too.

Note: Fresh ginger root is spicy. It really makes this drink, but if you want less heat, use a smaller piece.

*Cube cooked beets and freeze in a ziploc bag. See Smoothie Basics 101.

In Which I Offer Up My Writing

Every day I offer up my writing, imagining the five loaves and two fish. Far too often I’m breaking up the bread before I lay it in the basket. And all I’m left with is a bunch of crumbs. I’m meting it out — this bit will go here, this bit I can blog. Too […]

Hagar | The Runaway and the God Who Sees

By the time she discovered the spring, her head was hot and throbbing. Dirt streaked across her face where her tears had mingled with the wilderness dust. Hagar sat down to rest, splashing the cool water on her face. For the first time since she left, she realized she had no plan.

God on Trial

Musing on Genesis 3 “Did God really say you can’t eat from any tree of the garden?” The serpent isn’t so much attempting to verify God’s exact words as he is injecting a note of incredulity, pointing out the absurdity of God’s edict. With one word, the serpent calls into question God’s judgment, his reasonableness. […]
