Three Ingredient Banana Oat Cookies

 


Hello Titus 2 sisters! 


Today I am sharing a really simple recipe which I appreciate! Good and healthy too. 

2 cups oats
2 large overripe bananas
1 Tblsp maple syrup or honey (optional) 

Mash or blend bananas until liquid. Mix all ingredients together. Drop on to lined baking sheets (or shape if mixture is dry enough) and bake in a 180C/350F oven for about 15 minutes until lightly golden. 



Enjoy and thank the Lord for blessings to sustain us! 


Love in Christ,

1/2 cup applesauce 
1 Tblsp lemon zest

Pumpkin Muffins


Hello Titus 2 sisters! 

Here's another pumpkin recipe! Hopefully it's useful or at least I can not forget what I tried next season! 

1 ½ cups oats
1 ½ tsp pumpkin spice mix
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp salt
2 eggs
1 cup pumpkin puree
½ cup brown sugar (or maple syrup, honey, or stevia etc)
¼ cup oil (any kind) 
¼ cup milk (or non-dairy milk) 
1 tsp vanilla extract

Blend oats to make flour in a food processor or blender (or use pre-made oat flour about 1 1/4 cups of it). In a bowl, mix together dry ingredients and then add the wet. Bake in muffin trays for about 25 minutes in a preheated moderate oven (180C/350F). 



Enjoy!

Pumpkin Fudge


Greetings sisters in Christ! 

Yes I'm back with yet another pumpkin recipe! This is a delicious and relatively healthy fudge recipe. 

1/2 cup cooked pumpkin (pureed) 
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup cashew butter (or any nut butter) 
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoons pumpkin spice mix

In a small saucepan, combine all ingredients. Heat gently over low to medium heat, whisking continuously until just smooth (when the coconut oil is melted). Do not overheat. 

Pour mixture into a lined pan and refrigerate for 3 hours to overnight. (It should remain stored in the fridge too as it will get too soft outside.) Cut and enjoy the treat! 


Let's be thankful for all the variety the Lord has allowed us to eat as food to sustain us! 


Grace, mercy, and peace, 

Michaela

Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal


Greetings Titus 2 sisters!

Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal

2 cups oats 
2 tsps pumpkin spice
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup pumpkin puree
1 1/4 cup milk (any type) 
2 eggs
2 tsps vanilla
1/3 cup maple syrup or honey

Combine all in a bowl and then pour into a lined or greased baking dish. Bake in a 180C/350F oven for about 30-40 minutes.

Grace unto you,

Pumpkin Hot Drink


Greetings sisters! 

Today I'm sharing yet another pumpkin recipe. I guess you could call this similar to a pumpkin chai or something but anyway whatever it is I'm sharing it.

Add a heaped tablespoon of pumpkin puree to a mug. 


As well as 1/2-1 teaspoon of pumpkin spice mix. 

(I make that myself with 1 Tbsp cinnamon and 1 tsp each of ground ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Or make a larger batch if you like.)

Add sweetener (I am using a stevia sweetener tablet in the picture) and usual boiling water and some milk. You can add more pumpkin if you would like it thicker. 

There's so many things you can make with pumpkin...which is often paired with spices so the two seem to go together. 


I would make one for all of God's children around the world if I could:-)

Here's a recipe for leftover oatmeal pancakes. Great for if you find yourself often having leftover oatmeal. 


2 cups leftover cooked oatmeal/porridge 

1 cup milk (any kind) 

1 cup oat flour

1 Tbsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

3 eggs


(If you want a sweet pancake add... 

¼ cup granular sweetener

1 tsp vanilla

*note...these seem to burn more easily though) 


Mix together and do what you do with pancakes:-) (You can blend the batter in a food processor for a short time if you like it smoother.) 


Give us day by day our daily bread.

Baked Oatmeal


Greetings Titus 2 sisters! 


Today I'm sharing a baked oatmeal recipe. It's one a sister had made when I was in her house so I asked for the recipe. Thank you sister:-) Good blessings from the Lord of daily food. 


Baked Oatmeal 

3 1/2 cups oats 
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt 
1 tsp cinnamon (optional) 
2 cups milk 
2 eggs 
1 tsp vanilla 
1/2 cup melted butter 
1/2 cup brown sugar 

Mix together dry ingredients. Then wet ingredients separately. Combine all, and bake for about 20 minutes at 160C/375F.


I modified the recipe this time and made it with almond milk, butter substitute, and coconut sugar...just what was available and what I am asked to cook with. But it still works well and is really good! So you can modify it in such ways if needed. 


Let us be thankful for food and raiment! 


Love in Christ, 

Michaela

Pumpkin Scones


Hello fellow Titus 2 sisters! 


Today I am sharing another pumpkin recipe...scones. Maybe some places call them biscuits but I'm sure you can tell by the pictures what they are. 


1 Tblsp butter (softened) 

1 cup sugar

1 egg

1 cup mashed pumpkin 

3 cup self-raising flour (or plain/all purpose flour with 6 tsp baking powder added) 


Beat together butter and sugar... 


Add egg and pumpkin and mix. Then add flour. 

Then roll out on a floured surface to about an inch thick. (It will be very sticky. Mine was at least. And that's good then they won't be too dry when cooked. You can add milk if it's too dry.) 


Cut out with whatever round cutter you can find...even a narrow glass will do. I used a five centimetre (2 inch) one. (I rolled my dough too flat perhaps but anyway they're still good and it doesn't matter really!) 



Bake in oven (210C/410F) for around 15 minutes. 



Enjoy with butter, or cream and jam! Or just plain. 

See my other recipes here. 


Keep seeking first God's kingdom and righteousness sisters! 


Love in Him, 

Michaela

Pumpkin Soup


Greetings fellow keepers of the home sisters! 


Today I'm sharing a simple pumpkin soup recipe. I kind of can't believe I haven't shared one before as it usually is the most often soup I make. Maybe I did share it within a post once but want to do a separate one here. 

I know soups are super easy to make and you may not need a recipe but wanted to share anyway. 

There's a few varieties I make so I'll share the simple one and then some varieties if you have a lot of pumpkin and want some variety in tastes. 


To make a big pot... 

2 large onions, sliced

half a large pumpkin, cubed (around 3kg)

Garlic (a few cloves chopped or a tsp of dry) 
 
salt to taste (tsp or so) 

(You can add a few potatoes too if you like.)

Add all to a pan. Add water or broth or stock to about three quarters the way up the vegetables in the pan and heat until everything is soft. (You don't have to cut everything fine as you will blend it at the end.) 


(I'm making the lentil and turmeric variety below.) 

You can first fry the onion (then add everything else) while you're chopping the pumpkin if you prefer. Fried onion does add a nice flavour but depends what you have the time or want to do I guess:-) 

Blend with a stick blender. 


Here are a few separate varieties I use which can be added to the basic version... 

1) add about one cup of dry red lentils and a few teaspoons of turmeric

2) add a few teaspoons of ground cumin and coriander

3) add coconut cream or milk at the end. You could add this to any of the varieties though. 

And of course you can add milk or sour cream or cream too. And serve with buttered toast or whatever! 





Hope that helps or gives you an idea to use your pumpkin/s! Or squash as some of you call them:-) Good healthy blessings from the Lord! 


Love in Christ, 

Michaela

Burrito Bowls


Greetings fellow Titus 2 sisters! 


Today I am sharing more of an idea than a set recipe. 


You cook rice and whatever kind of minced meat that you like (this is kangaroo:-). You can add things like some cumin, coriander, and paprika and garlic to the meat. 


And you can just add on top of the rice that you serve into bowls first any toppings that you like really (along with the cooked meat). 


Tomato 
Lettuce
Olives
Cucumber 
Capsicums/peppers 
Fried onion
Carrot 
Cheese
Sour cream or yoghurt
Avocado 
Beans

The combinations are many and you can just use whatever you have on hand really:-) 

Hope that can be a helpful idea to any of you godly women who cook for others. 


Most importantly...feed on the living bread sisters! That is Christ the Saviour of the world and the good news to us all! 

This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
John 6:50-51

Baked Coated Chicken

 


Greetings Titus 2 sisters! 


Today I am sharing a really good chicken recipe. It's very simple too. 


1/2 cup almond meal (or almond flour)

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp salt

1 tsp ground pepper

4 chicken thighs (or you can use similar pieces of chicken) 



Combine all ingredients (except chicken) in a resealable bag. (Or you could use a bowl if you prefer.) Make sure the meal and seasonings are well combined then add chicken one piece at a time and you can shake it around in the bag to make sure it's well coated. Or toss it around if you're using a bowl.  


Bake in a baking dish in a moderate oven (180C/350F) until chicken is cooked which could be around 45 minutes for thighs or longer for bigger pieces. 


Enjoy! It's super delicious:-) 






Praise the Lord for not only food but good and delicious kinds of all sorts that we have today anyway. 

And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
1 Timothy 6:8

Simple Tomato Pasta Sauce



Greetings fellow Titus 2 sisters! 


I'm just sharing what I threw together today to try to use up some more tomatoes. I'm sure there's more refined and sophisticated recipes out there. But we don't need to make things harder than they need to be do we sisters. 


20-30 tomatoes, roughly chopped

2 large onions, roughly chopped

6 garlic cloves, roughly chopped

Basil leaves, roughly chopped

Salt


Add all in a large saucepan and cook uncovered until everything is very soft and some of the liquid has evaporated. If you want this thicker, just simmer for longer. Blend with a stick blender and it is ready to use or freeze. 



I'm not sure what everyone calls this sauce but whatever you put in minced/ground beef for shepherds pie etc or pasta and such like. 


Praise God for providing good food blessings to enjoy! 


Love in Christ, 

Michaela

Chicken Zucchini Curry


Hello Titus 2 sisters! 

Time to share another zucchini recipe here. This one I just made up on the spot tonight. (I think it needed more flavour so I upped some ingredient amounts here but will try it myself another time:-) and will test it more.)

This is a large recipe that should serve 6-8 I believe. 

2 large onions, chopped

6-8 garlic cloves, minced  

1kg chicken thighs or breast, cut into smaller pieces 

Handful of basil leaves, roughly chopped

2 zucchini, cut into bite sized pieces 

1 can (400ml) coconut milk (or cream)  

1 cup cherry tomatoes

1 tsp turmeric

1 tsp ground ginger

2 tsp salt (approx) 


Fry onion in a large pot until soft and a little golden. Add garlic and cook for a few minutes. Add chicken and fry until cooked through. Add zucchini and basil. Cook for about 5 minutes. Then add the coconut milk, cherry tomatoes, turmeric, ginger and salt. Cook for a further 5 minutes or until the zucchini is tender. (can add some cornflour to thicken it at the end if you like.) 

Serve (on rice or quinoa) and thank the Lord for providing daily food again! 


Love in Christ,

Simple Zucchini Bread


Hello my Titus 2 sisters!


I'm sharing a regular zucchini bread recipe here. I like simple recipes with not a huge list of ingredients too:-) 




1 1/2 cups flour

3/4 cups sugar

2 1/4 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 eggs

1/3 cup oil (any kind you like) 

1 cup zucchini, grated


Combine all ingredients and bake in a 180C (355F) oven in a loaf tin for about 50 minutes. 



Good extra food blessings the Lord allows us to have...above simple bare basics. 

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

1 Thessalonians 5:18


(You can find all my other zucchini recipes here if you like.) 


Most important make sure you're born of God by the gospel. This life is temporary...the next is eternal. 


Love in Christ, 

Michaela


Zucchini & Bean Soup


Greetings Titus 2 sisters! 


Sharing another zucchini soup recipe for you. 


1 leek, sliced (or onion) 

1 carrot, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

400 g can beans

500g zucchini, diced 

5 cups stock

Salt


Optional... 

Juice of half a lemon

Fresh basil leaves


(I used leek scapes instead of the celery here.) 


Fry leek, carrot, and celery in oil... 

(Titus 2 tip...and it's just something I learned recently so maybe you all know already but it's how to make regular pans not stick so easily. It's important to heat the empty pan really hot and then add ample oil and then heat that hot before adding anything. Then you get a pan that is almost non stick...which goes without saying is a great blessing! Doesn't work for everything but it helps for most things! Just sharing cuz I didn't know until recently:-) 


Then add the garlic and cook for a few more minutes. Then add zucchini, stock, and beans and cook until the zucchini is tender. (If using, add the optional items at the end.) 


Serve and thank the Lord! 

Indeed praise Him for providing good healthy foods! 

Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.

Acts 14:17


(You can find all my other zucchini recipes here if you like.) 


Make sure you're on the narrow road to eternal life by the gospel explained here, most importantly. 


Love in Christ, 

Michaela
