Miso Rice Pilaf With Collard Greens -ww

I cannot conceive it possible for anyone truly to receive Christ as Savior and yet not to receive him as Lord. A man who is really saved by grace does not need to be told that he is under solemn obligations to serve Christ. The new life within him tells him that. Instead of regarding it as a burden, he gladly surrenders himself – body, soul, and spirit- to the Lord who has redeemed him, reckoning this to be his reasonable service.

brown rice in this recipes. If  you don't have brown rice, or the time
it takes to prepare it, use  white rice, but cook in step 2 for only
15-20 minutes.  LEAFY GREENS: Kale can stand in for collard greens in
most recipes.  Other dark leafy greens may be substituted but some do
not hold up as  well to prolonged cooking. Substitute chard or spinach
(not baby  spinach) and adjust cooking time.  *MISO (Pronounced
MEE-soh) is a highly nutritious fermented soybean  paste with a creamy
consistency. It is used extensively in Japanese  cuisine to thicken and
season dishes. The lighter miso is used in  delicate soups, sauces, and
marinades, while the darker version is  used in heartier dishes. It is
available in Asian markets as well as  most natural foods stores.  For
