Lynda’s Favorite Falafel

Lynda and Bill strategized over a meal of falafel and all the trimmings in a nearly empty restaurant in Turkey. Our family has falafel on our regular rotation of meals. We especially love it during our Daniel Fast because it’s purely vegan and a fantastic protein in any meal.

Rick’s Ultimate Hamburger

Rick and Bill are always on the hunt for the best hamburger. I have tried many recipes and discovered that the ultimate best burger ever is so very simple.

Mascarpone Cheesecake with Vanilla Almond Crust

Tomorrow at sundown begins the festival of Shavuot when Jews celebrate the receiving of the Torah, God’s Holy Word. Psalms 119:103 [Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)] says “How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!” Because God’s word is sweeter than honey, Jews traditionally eat sweet cheesecake on Shavuot.

Messianic Jews and Christians also celebrate Shavuot (usually called Pentecost) by remembering when God sent the Holy Spirit as promised by Yeshua!

Here is the recipe for my FAVORITE cheesecake.

Mrs. Gideon’s Cranberry Apple Pie

In The Seven Year Glitch, Mrs. Gideon makes Tim’s favorite pie, and gives Leann the recipe card as a gift. It’s a delightful blend of sweet and tart, with just enough cinnamon and nutmeg to please everyone. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Leanne’s Spinach and Ricotta Stuffed Shells

In THE SEVEN YEAR GLITCH, when Leanne needed a quick meal to make for her date with Timothy, she chose stuffed shells. It’s something you can make super quick if you use jarred marinara sauce, or something you can keep vegetarian if you make it with a meatless sauce. Stuffed shells is a great dish to use as a crowd-pleaser, and perfect for any group get-together.
