Cook 2 Flourish

05/29/2024

Another season of the school cooking classes are complete! 🎉
This year we concluded our cooking around the world class with a fiesta!!🌮 Here is fun recipe we made for our menu called Gallo Pinto, and we even used local farmer’s market cilantro!
We put our own spin on it, but it’s a dish you’ll likely find in Costa Rica and Nicaragua! (Enjoy the recipe in the last 2 photos)
As a little gift, the students received a mini salt shaker and Scripture card as a souvenir. Whether traveling abroad or connecting with those here in our own neighborhood, may we intentional to ask Jesus to help us be salt and light for His glory!

Matthew 5:13 The Message (Bible)
“Let me tell you
why you are here.
You’re here to be salt-seasoning
that brings out the
God-flavors of this earth.
If you lose your saltiness,
how will people taste godliness?...
Happy cooking!

It’s so good to be back in the kitchen with some amazing students!! 👩🏻‍🍳🧄

Once again we will be getting a taste of the nations through their unique cuisines and praying for them along the way! 🌍🙏🏻
We had the whole spice cabinet out with herbs from cumin to cinnamon, and everything in between! 🧄🧅🫚🌶️
The students got to sample gluten and dairy free recipes like:
🍴Ras El Hanout Baked Chicken
🍴Saudi Arabian Kabsa Rice
🍴Middle Eastern Spiced Muffins with Dates (swipe to see the recipe)
🍴Falafel
🍴Za'atar Roasted Veggies with local garlic
One of my dear friends from the Middle East shared some nuggets about her culture in a video for the students too! ❤️🌍
If you’ve had Middle Eastern food before, what’s your favorite dish?
Stay tuned for next month!

Simple summer salads are equally beautiful as they are nutritious!
This one features greens from the Urban Bounty Salad Kit and other seasonal veggies from the market.
Drizzle a little olive oil and vinegar (my favorites are from Heavenly), and it's time to dig in! What salads are you enjoying currently?
