God Hears Her

From Kirsten Holmberg:

In the winter, I’m partial to any slow-cooker soup or stew because I love coming home to it in the evening. My favorite is a Vegetarian Chili with some Italian influences:
A delicious low calorie Minestrone Soup that tastes way better than the Olive Gardens! | Littlespicejar.com @littlespicejar #soup #fallrecipes #minestronesoup
2 bell peppers, diced

2 stalks of celery, sliced

2 lb zucchini halved and sliced

1 lb fresh mushrooms, halved

1 large onion, diced

3 cans diced tomatoes (fire roasted or herbed for the most flavor)

1 can tomato sauce

1 small can black olives, sliced (or fresh in any amount desired)

1 can cannellini beans

2.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning

2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon fresh garlic, minced

½ cup water

Toss it all in a slow cooker for a few hours on high, or all day on low. Or, put it on the stove instead and simmer until the veggies are cooked through and the flavors blended (about 45 minutes). Parmesan cheese on top for an extra zing.  From The Avid Reader:  You can also serve this over pasta.

From Elisa Morgan:  A Cranberry Nut Bread recipe handed down by my mom, Paige Lee

Cranberry Nut Bread I Recipe - Allrecipes.com
2 cup flour

½ tsp salt

1 ¼ tsp baking powder

½ scant tsp baking soda

1 cup sugar

Sift above ingredients together twice. To the juice and grated rind of 1 large orange, add 2 tbs of melted shortening and enough boiling water to make ¾ cup. Mix with dry ingredients and add…

1 beaten egg

1 cup chopped pecans

1 cup halved fresh cranberries

Bake in greased loaf pan for 75 minutes at 350 degrees.  If you double the recipe, bake a little less time and use 3 loaf pans. It also makes good muffins and can be frozen.

Through the years I've tried many cranberry recipes for bread and muffins, but this remains my family's all-time favorite! —Flo Burtnett, Gage, Oklahoma

My Thoughts


God Hears Her:  365 Devotions for Women by Women by Our Daily Bread Ministries is a lovely devotional for women.  It has a beautiful hardcover with a page for each day of the year.  It is a compact size at 6 ½” by 4 ½” which makes it easy to take with you (if you desire) and it fits nicely on top of my Bible.  There is a foreword written by Elisa Morgan which I found enlightening.   On each day there is a scripture passage, a short story (in a way) or verse, and then a short devotional that relates to the scripture passage.  They are easy to read, and I found them encouraging.  Each page is thought provoking, enlightening and positive.  Reading each page is a great way to start or end a day (depending upon your schedule).  It would also provide a nice pick-me-up in the middle of the day.  I like that at the end there is information on the writers of God Hears Her.  God Hears Her is especially beneficial for those new to the faith, but seasoned Christians will find new insights (I know I did).   I am glad that I picked up God Hears Her as it is a wonderful addition to my daily devotions.
