This is a week in America that we could greatly complain about the impact on our freedoms. As an eternal optimist, I forced myself out of toxic thinking to see a different picture. 🙃 My biggest gratitude this year is for my prayer partners, my husband and Angie of Glow Bakery. 🙏🏻We have been together on an almost daily prayer 🙏🏻call since March. While c.ovid is changing all of our lives, this kind of prayer 🙏🏻has changed our life much more. After several weeks, we could feel God praying with us. Understand something. We are not those super holy people that ban Netflix or never drink a glass of wine. We are not in church twice on Sunday and again on Wednesday. We are simple, flawed human beings who proclaim Jesus as Lord of our life, and realize we have a God to go to when we don’t know what to do or who to trust when the world feels out of control and justice seems fleeting. If c. ovid would not have happened, I never would have started this prayer call 🙏🏻and heard the things I’ve heard from the Holy Spirit or dreamed the dreams I’ve dreamed. Yes, I could list 20 terrible things directly related to the v ir us, but I refuse to fall into that sink hole. I know it has taken health, taken life, taken freedoms, taken celebrations, taken jobs, but we must look behind it and rise above it to find our hope.

Prayer 🙏🏻is the single most important action in a Christian’s life because it’s supernatural. Once you get that, you want more of it. Prayer reverses darkness😇. I urge you to prayer with a person daily if you can. Form a prayer call using a conference call line. The Holy Spirit will put together those who should pray with you. Prayer will bring discernment and protect you from being a sheep led to slaughter or the sinkhole of depression. Don’t shy away.That’s a scheme of the enemy because prayer is the most powerful weapon we have.
I pray for you to understand this, to be drawn to God, to reap the benefits of the supernatural experience of prayer and the peace it brings. Read Ephesians 6. We do not battle flesh and blood but powers and principalities and our weapon is prayer. Xoxo

So many ways to make salad this time of year. I love this homemade blue cheese dressing wedge with pistachios and pomegranate. Another option is to take your favorite vinaigrette with crumbled blue cheese. I love both versions. You can make small wedges, dress up and place on a tray for your dinner buffet. So cute. #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/party-wedge-salad-recipe/

Not everyone eating grain free can eat almonds or almond flour. I now have a coconut flour only batter which is just as good, fluffy and great texture. This LEMON RASPBERRY cake is 166 calories and 2 net carbs, nut free! If you need nut free, you may have to buy by the dozen at this time, but that will change in future as we branch out. You can also request dairy free in many cases. Text the owner(me) 615-812-1501. Or go to bakery page #linkinprofile https://spinachtiger.com/keto-bakery-nashville-franklin/

New recipe for a creamy butternut squash soup made with coconut cream, fried sage, toasted almonds. 👩🏻‍🍳❤️The coconut milk is the secret to the creaminess. 😋My favorite way to add heat to food like this soup is with pigment d’espelette made from red chilies from France and Spain and a more subtle heat than cayenne. You can sub with hot paprika. I discovered this when following a Thomas Keller recipe for his crab cakes and it has become my go to for adding heat without overpowering the other ingredients.

New to the blog: Grilled reverse sear lollipop Lamb Chops with mint pistou. Pistou is not pesto (no nuts), and super easy. When you get a rack of lamb, be sure to cut off the fat. The meat itself is fatty enough and will be tender, especially if you reverse sear, which is a game changer. I had only twenty minutes to marinate while chops were coming up to room temperature and grill was heating. Best lamb chops I ever ate. #linkinprofilehttps://spinachtiger.com/grilled-lollipop-lamb-chops-reverse-sear-mint-pistou/

If anyone were to ask me where I got my biggest life lessons, it would be as an entrepreneur. Years ago I left the corporate world and starting a decorative painting business. It was there that I learned how to negotiate on behalf of myself and ask for my value. I even negotiated a job that exceeded $50,000. Its MUCH HARDER to sell your own goods, your own services, basically to believe in your own value and purpose.
The bakery, not a planned adventure, has been quite the learning experience. These are the lessons I share to those wanting to venture out on their own.

* There is something you have that the world needs. EVERYONE, has a purpose, as each person is born to be a value center for their part of the world. Some have many varied purposes, but there is something you have that the world needs.
* Your venture should solve someone else’s problem. If your venture is only to satisfy you, it’s probably a great hobby, but not a great business idea.
* Embrace the daily mistakes and failures because that’s where you learn. Be willing to learn something new from yourself and from others. This has been crucial for me.
* Don’t allow mistakes or fails to take you down. They can be the best lessons in polishing you or your products and or services. Fails are a natural part of science of cooking/baking.
* Get feedback. Have a team, a tribe, a community you can trust to critique your work. LISTEN. Learn from others.
* Surround yourself with successful people and edit out negative people. Feedback should come from people who want you to succeed, not fail.
* Research. A quick research gave me my secret ingredient to a chewy cookie.
* Study the market. Look to see who is doing what and tell yourself you can do it better because you’re willing to work harder.
* Don’t do everything by yourself. You will burn out and hate what you’re doing. I have a small team, and I don’t do the paperwork, and I never will.
* Build systems that work. Operations are just as important as creating. In the very early days of the bakery, I set up a system for bagging ingredients, baking days and boundaries. Without this system, I would fail.
* Focus and prioritize. I don’t focus on a f
