The Enchanted Broccoli Forest (katzen)

Understanding Bible prophecy encourages in two unique ways. First, it serves as a reminder that God controls history. When, you read from the pages of Scripture how He keeps His promises, your faith is strengthened…By reflecting on the fulfilled promises of the past, you can find great comfort as you look toward the future. Second, understanding God's promises for the future provides a solid foundation to which you can anchor your hope—a sturdy shield with which you can deflect your doubts and fears about tomorrow…When you reflect on God's plans and promises for you and for the world, you can face the future without fear.

INSTRUCTIONS

Cook 2 cups brown or white rice in 3 cups boiling water until tender.
(This will take 15-20 minutes for white, and 35-35 minutes for  brown.)
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and set aside. Trim the  tough
bottoms from the broccoli stalks and cut the tops into smallish  spears
of whatever size suits you. Cook them in a steamer over  boiling water
until bright green and just barely tender. Rinse under  cold running
water, drain well and set aside. Preheat oven to 325F.  Lightly grease
a 9X13-inch baking pan. Melt the butter or heat the  oil in a large,
deep skillet or a Dutch oven. Add the onion and salt  and saute over
medium heat for about 5 minutes or until the onion  begins to soften.
Add the garlic and lemon juice and saute for about  2 minutes longer.
Stir in the rice, some black pepper and cayenne to  taste, the herbs
and the optional sunflower seeds and/or cheese.  Taste to correct salt,
if necessary and spread into prepared pan. Now  for the fun part.
Arrange the broccoli upright in the rice, and, if  desired, drizzle
with melted butter. Cover loosely with foil and bake  until just heated
through (15-20 minutes). Serve right away.  Recipe from THE ENCHANTED

A Message from our Provider:

“Thankfulness to God is a recognition that God in His goodness and faithfulness has provided for us and cared for us, both physically and spiritually. It is a recognition that we are totally dependent upon Him; that all that we are and have comes from God. #Jerry Bridges”
