Sweet Potato-quinoa Cakes

There is a war going on. All talk of a Christian’s right to live luxuriantly “as a child of the King” in this atmosphere sounds hollow-especially since the King Himself is stripped for battle. It is more helpful to think of a “wartime” lifestyle than a merely “simple” lifestyle. Simplicity can be very inward directed, and may benefit no one else. A wartime lifestyle implies that there is a great and worthy cause for which to spend and be spent (2 Corinthians 12:15).

INSTRUCTIONS

MAKES 18 CAKES OVO-LACTO  These crispy little cakes are perfect for
brunch-try a few strips of  vegetarian sausage or bacon on the side.
They also make a nice supper  topped with a little salsa. You can find
quinoa flour at natural food  stores.  Preheat oven to 200F. In large
bowl, lightly beat egg and egg whites.  Add quinoa, sweet potato,
scallions, cilantro, quinoa flour, salt and  pepper and mix well. Let
stand 15 minutes.  In large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
over medium-high heat  until hot but not smoking. Cook cakes in
batches, using about 1/4 cup  of quinoa mixture for each cake and
flattening slightly with back of  spoon to form a 3-inch disk. Cook
until golden brown, about 3 minutes  per side, reducing heat if cakes
brown too quickly.  Drain on paper towels and keep warm in oven. Repeat
with remaining  cakes, adding more oil to pan as needed. Serve hot with
lime wedges  to squeeze over cakes.  PER CAKE: 68 CAL.; 3G PROT.; 1G

When our inequity had come to its full height, and it was clear beyond all mistaking that retribution in the form of punishment and death must be looked for, the hour arrived in which God had determined to make known from then onwards His loving-kindness and His power. How surpassing is the love and tenderness of God! In that hour, instead of hating us and rejecting us and remembering our wickedness against us, He showed how long-suffering He is. He bore with us, and in pity He took our sins upon Himself. He gave His own Son as a ransom for us – the holy for the wicked, the sinless for sinners, the just for unjust, the incorrupt for the corrupt, the immortal for the mortal. For was there, indeed, anything except His righteousness that could have availed to cover our sins? In whom could we, in our lawlessness and ungodliness, have been made holy, but in the Son of God alone? O sweet exchange! O unsearchable working! O benefits unhoped for! – that the wickedness of multitudes should thus be hidden in the One holy, and the holiness of One should sanctify the countless wicked!
