Cooking with a Twist!

 
I almost didn't want to post recipes today because I am so excited about the Week of Prayer at our church this week.  I just wanted to talk about prayer and the Power of God.  It amazes me sometimes, how we can see Our Lord do some A-MA-ZING things, yet we can still be apathetic to the prompting of His Holy Spirit.
 
John 14:13-14
"And whatever you ask in My name, that will I do,
that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
"If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it."

 
There are two people in my family who were dead....AND IN JESUS NAME.....THEY WERE RAISED TO LIFE!  I, personally, have experienced the healing power of the Blood of Jesus in my body and heard many testimonies of people being healed of all manner of disease.   
 
The countless miracles that I have seen.  How could I still be passive? 
 
1 John 5:14-15
And this is the confidence which we have before Him,
that, if we ask anything according to His will, 
He hears us.
And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask,
we know that we have the requests which we
have asked from Him. 
 
People addicted to drugs, alcohol, and perversion - set free.  Sinners saved by the grace of a loving Savior!  What a beautiful sight.....even the angels rejoice every time a sinner comes to repentance (Luke 15:10)!  Lazy Christians who have had their passion and zeal renewed and reignited by the Presence of a Consuming Fire. 
 
Oh, that the things of earth would grow strangely dim.....that the eyes of our heart would turn fully to our Savior.
 
Prayer is powerful!     
 
Psalm 145:18
The LORD is near to all who call upon Him,
To all who call upon Him in truth.
 
I encourage you, if you aren't already, make every effort to attend the Prayer Meetings at Freedom Fellowship.  Just as you spend time getting your physical body ready by getting dressed, applying makeup, and fixing your hair, spend time in prayer and worship to prepare your spirit man! 
 
We sing Hallelujah!  We sing Hallelujah!  We sing Hallelujah!  The Lamb has Overcome!   
 



Here are the recipes I promised yesterday.  I hope y'all have a great day, and I will see you back here tomorrow!

 


CHICKEN PARMESAN

1/2 c. breadcrumbs
1/2 c. Parmesan cheese
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 eggs, beaten
Marinara sauce
Mozzarella cheese
Spaghetti
Parsley, optional

Heat oven to 400°.  Combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan in a bowl.  Put eggs in a separate bowl.  (I personally season my chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder at this point, but the recipe doesn't call for it.)  Dip chicken in egg and then in breadcrumb mixture.  Place in a large greased or sprayed pan.  Sprinkle with parsley flakes.  Bake for 35-40 minutes.  Cook spaghetti about 10 minutes before chicken is done.  Place spaghetti on a plate, chicken in center of spaghetti, and top with marinara.  Sprinkle generously with mozzarella.








MONKEY BREAD

1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
4 cans of biscuits (8 ct., skinny tubes.....Or 2 cans Grands Biscuits or any the same size.  If you use the bigger biscuits, cut them into 6 pieces instead of quarters.)
3/4 c. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. pecans, optional

Heat oven to 350°.  Spray Bundt pan thoroughly.  In a baggie, mix 1/2 c. sugar and cinnamon.  Cut each biscuit into quarters.  Put in baggie and shake to coat.  Arrange in pan.  (If adding nuts, add 1/2 biscuits, nuts, then the rest of biscuits.)

On stove melt butter, brown sugar, 1/2 c. sugar, and vanilla.  Pour mixture over biscuits.  Bake 30 minutes.  Cool in pan for 5-10 minutes. (Don't wait longer than that, or you will not be able to get the monkey bread out of the pan....not that I know from experience or anything! ;)  )  Turn upside down on to a plate or platter, and serve warm.
 
This is Kelanie and Kathleen's favorite recipe to help with!  They pretty much
can do the whole thing by themselves except get the pan out of the oven.
Here, they are quartering the biscuits.  Then they roll or shake them in cinnamon
and sugar until the floor...um, I meant, the biscuits.... are coated and put
into the greased Bundt pan.
 The biscuit quarters, prepared with sugar and cinnamon.
 Heat the butter, vanilla, and sugars just long enough to mix well.  Pour over
biscuits in the Bundt pan and bake.
 The finished product!  You are going to want some coffee to go with this!
