Fast, Fast, Fast.....

Maybe if we say it three times fast, our fast will go by with a breeze!!!

Many of you know that Pastor Dollar has called our annual fast beginning tomorrow, Jan 3rd.  I'm excited and I'm ready.  I will do my best to share some wonderful recipes that will help keep you focused and prepared throughout the next few weeks.  If there is a specific recipe that you would like to see - LET ME KNOW!  I will post it for everyone to see.  We all can be victorious during this year's fast.

So, to start off our time of consecration let's start with a soup.  It's something easy to make and can last you a while (depending on your serving size of course!).  Today's recipe is compliments of Wholefoodsmarket.com:

Italian Chowder with Kale

Serves 4

Ingredients

2 cups unsweetened almondmilk
1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
3/4 pound baby red potatoes, quartered
1 cup chopped yellow onion
1 tablespoon tomato paste (no salt added in ingredients)
1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added cannellini beans*, rinsed and drained
1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added diced tomatoes*
1/2 cup sliced celery
1 bunch (about 10 ounces) kale, stems removed, leaves roughly chopped

Method

Bring almond milk and Italian seasoning to a boil in a large pot. Add potatoes and onions, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until potatoes are very tender, about 25 minutes. Using a blender or immersion blender, carefully purée contents of pot. Whisk in tomato paste, add beans, tomatoes and celery. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in kale and cod, cover and simmer until kale is tender about 5 minutes more.

Enjoy your first day folks!
