Carnival of Praise Dance #4: Recipes Edition

It is my honor & privilege to present Carnival of Praise Dance #4: The "Recipes" Edition!  While a "carnival of praise dance" may be new to some of you, the concept of blog carnivals has been around for a while.  Like a real carnival, a blog carnival puts a lot of interesting "stuff" in one place.  Eventually, this carnival will travel to other sites as it gains momentum.  Read this article for more information on blog carnivals and how to participate or host future carnivals of praise dance. 

If you’re a new visitor to Paneh Praise Dance & Mime Ministry, I’d like to welcome you!  You can stay connected by subscribing to our RSS feed (What is RSS?), Twitter, and/or Facebook

Below you’ll find the submissions to this month’s carnival.  I was surprised by the positive encouragement I received from my Facebook & Twitter friends when I mentioned that I had not ate out in 8 days.  The encouragement and accountability pushed me to go an entire 2 weeks! 

Those that really know me know that is a huge feat!  Since I was not eating out, I had to plan my meals that I would eat at home.  My favorite recipes have the following criteria: simple, frugal, tasty and healthy.  Good luck trying to get all four in one meal!

Enjoy this month’s submissions and recipes!

"Then God said, "I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it.  They will be yours for food." – Genesis 1:29

Jocelyn Richard, author of The Praise Dance Life submits Christian Liturgical Praise Dance Wear, which lists the meaning of several colors that are popular in the holiday season as well as resourceful methods to purchase garments.  

Broiled Tilipia over Seafood Pasta This is one of my favorite recipes!  Looks great, tastes great (assuming you like fish) and it pretty easy. 1. Season Tilapia and broil 2. Boil angel hair pasta according to instructions 3. Sautee crab and / or lobster meat, baby shrimp (frozen/precooked), chopped peppers (red & green) and chopped garlic in butter or olive oil 4. Drain pasta, mix in seafood and vegetables.  Season the pasta mix according to your tastes (I use a balsamic vinegarette) 5. Serve and Enjoy!

Popeye's Red Beans & Rice This one is simple, frugal and tasty…one of my favorite quick dishes, but also heavy so use with moderation! Ingredients: ***Beans*** 1 can (30 oz size) red kidney beans,  1 1/2 teaspoon white pepper 1/4 teaspoon paprika,  4 tablespoons butter 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder ***Rice*** 1 1/2 cup quick cooking rice, 1 1/2 cup water, 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt Directions: Pour the beans with their liquid into a large saucepan. Turn the heat to medium. Add the pepper, paprika, butter, and garlic powder. When the beans begin to boil, use a fork to mash some of them against the side of the pan. Stir the mixture constantly. In about 20 minutes, the beans will reach the consistency of refried beans (in other words, they will have a smooth, creamy texture with some whole beans still swimming around). Prepare the rice, using the butter and garlic salt specified instead of the butter and salt amounts specified on the box. To serve, pour 1/2 cup of beans into individual bowls and scoop the same amount of rice on top of the beans. This recipe from CDKitchen for Popeye's Red Beans And Rice serves/makes 4

 

Roxi Author encourages us not to just Sit Around, but do something!  There is an entire world that can benefit from the skills and talents God gave you to share.  Why Sit Here Until We Die? Get Up!

Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
1 Corinthians 10:31

His Hem Ministry shares Mustard Seed Faith & Mountain Moving Prayer, a testimony of the power of faith & prayer.

Now Jesus called His disciples to Himself and said, “I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way.”  Then His disciples said to Him, “Where could we get enough bread in the wilderness to fill such a great multitude?”  Jesus said to them, “How many loaves do you have?”  And they said, “Seven, and a few little fish.”

So He commanded the multitude to sit down on the ground. And He took the seven loaves and the fish and gave thanks, broke them and gave them to His disciples; and the disciples gave to the multitude. So they all ate and were filled, and they took up seven large baskets full of the fragments that were left.  Now those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.
Matthew 15:32-38

Since the carnival is posted here, there really isn’t a need for me to include a submission.  But I don’t want to miss out on all the fun! I’m submitting Dance Ministry Ethics Series, we had an active discussion on a variety of topics in ministry.  Check out any or all of them that interest you.  The week may be over, but you are still welcome to leave your comments.

We’d love to hear from you!  Got a recipe to share, questions, comments or suggestions?  Leave your input below in the comments section! 

Also, be sure to visit the other sites that submitted an article!
