Over the past year, my hubby and I have read through the Bible with a chronological plan from the Bible Recap. Each day, we read up to five chapters of the Bible and listen to a podcast that provides us with the significance of what we just read. In doing so, we have learned much about the people of the Bible. I enjoy this plan because it highlights women’s significant contributions in the Old and New Testaments.
The new CSB Lifeway Women’s Bible is another opportunity to learn how women are not just an afterthought, as many people often think. This Bible contains profiles of more than forty women, with commentary from leading women authors. More than thirty-five reflection questions are provided to help women engage more deeply with the scriptures.

Your diet plays a crucial role in your health and well-being. You can improve your eating habits by exploring various diets, such as a low-carb diet focusing on foods rich in protein and fats. These low-carb diets may vary, as each has different restrictions on the types and quantity of carbohydrates consumed. According to research, about 5% of people in the US eat low-carb meals, indicating a need for more awareness about the benefits of a low-carb diet. Below are some of the most popular low-carb meals you can add to your daily diet.
Shrimp, avocado, and egg chopped salad If you prefer not to eat meat, shrimp is a fantastic, high-protein, low-calorie option. You can enjoy it alongside fiber-rich vegetables. With avocado and eggs, you can add healthy fat, additional protein, and taste to make a wonderfully substantial salad. This tasty option takes a few minutes to prepare and can be enjoyed by you and your family as a quick lunch or light dinner.
Salmon with avocado and tomato salad Salmon is rich in protein but also high in inflammation-fighting omega-3 fatty acids, which have been proven to improve cardiovascular health. For a fast and fulfilling meal, add walnuts for crunch, avocados for healthy fat, tomatoes for a juicy dose of vitamins, and your favorite vegetables to increase the fiber.
Slow-cooker roast beef and cabbage The finest slow-cooker recipes allow you to combine your favorite ingredients, including beef and cabbage, in the appliance with little or no prep. After placing your well-seasoned roast beef in the slow cooker, add thyme and caraway seeds to the boiling broth to enhance the flavors of this classic recipe. Add the red potatoes, carrots, and cabbage as well. If you do this in the morning, your delicious meal will be ready for supper in approximately seven to eight hours. You’re sure to come home to a deliciously fragrant house and a warm supper.
Chanko nabe The well-known chanko nabe recipe is another favorite when considering recipes high in protein. Organic and full of protein, chanko nabe is a nutritious dish. You’ll have a hearty soup combining rice, udon noodles, chicken thighs, tofu, and various nutritious veggies, like carrots, napa cabbage, green onions, and mushrooms.
Enchiladas with bean and spinach Making enchiladas, rolling them, and baking them might seem like a lot of work. However, you can prepare these protein-packed, inexpensive, and incredibly satisfying bean and spinach enchiladas in your cooker. Before decreasing the temperature, place your enchiladas in the cooker in a single layer. Prepare a fresh side salad after about three and a half hours, then arrange the cooked enchiladas on plates and top them with sliced onions. Don’t forget to add your beans and spinach for the perfect low-carb meal!
Beef chili verde This option is excellent for you if you love preparing meals in advance or need a quick, tasty dish to serve your guests at an upcoming hangout. You can serve up to ten people with this nutritious dish. Each mouthful of beef is flavored with plenty of Mexican flavors, notable among them being salsa verde and a can of green chilies. For a complete dinner, substitute rice, tortillas, or chips with eggs or vegetables such as cabbage.
The holiday season is quickly approaching. Hannahuk begins this weekend, and Christmas is less than two weeks away. Each year, the pace seems to go into overdrive with gifts, gatherings, reveling, and resolutions. Some people do not take the time to pause and reflect on why they are celebrating. It is easy to overlook the true meaning of the holidays when you do not know what they are. People know the basics but have not taken the time to learn the details.
I believe it is essential for the people who know these details to teach the younger people. If people can learn the full story at a younger age, they will be able to have a better understanding and appreciation for the holidays. For young people to understand holiday stories, they need to have their own Bible written with them in mind. The CSB Explorer Bible for Kids is one that I would recommend for kids between seven and twelve years old.
This Bible invites young readers to investigate the world and words of Scripture, including the history of real people and their cultures. It will help kids place God’s Word in the middle of their world. The Bible features fun facts about Bible characters, detailed timelines, and features beautiful photography. The Bible includes QR codes that provide videos, discussion questions, and activity pages. Here is a closer look at the Explorer Bible for Kids.

As the weather cools, you may yearn for some cozy meals. Luckily, there are plenty of ways to make your winter cozier than ever before. From cozy vegetarian dishes to dinner parties with a dash of whimsy and charm, there are so many foolproof ideas to help you get through this season. As the temperature starts to cool, people tend to hunker down at home more than usual and often eat less healthy foods.
Cozy meals don’t necessarily have to be super elaborate either: from hearty stews to simple soups. So, here are some tips for making all of these winter meals feel a little cozier this season!
Try New Dishes You Haven’t Tried Yet The best way to make your winter cozier is to try new dishes you haven’t tried yet. It can get pretty boring to eat the same foods over and over again, even if this is something that you’re doing with your family. While yes, it’s nice just getting to stick to the basics you’re comfortable with, the only way you can expand your palate is going to be by simply expanding it and try out new foods and dishes. Whatever you choose, it’s important that you have some degree of whimsy in your meal planning. If you want to get fancy, plenty of recipes out there can help make your winter cozy but fun too!
Bring Out The Dishes You Have Been Loving Bring out your favorite dishes for the wintertime. This can mean anything from a bowl of hearty stew to a hearty casserole. Make sure to keep some staple recipes on hand so you can have warm and cozy meals all season long. What better way to get through the cold weather than by warming up to a dish that you love?
Build Around A Preference If you’re looking for a way to make your winter meals feel cozier, try building around a preference. Instead of trying to make all your meals into cozy ones, find one that you already like and focus on making it better. Maybe you already love cooking but want something new. Try adding some warming spices or herbs that are traditionally used to add warmth to dishes.
If you have a particular craving, try experimenting with different ingredients in the same dish until you find what works for it. Another option is to create comfort food from scratch. Comfort food can be anything from macaroni and cheese (the ultimate comfort food) to hot chocolate (soothing and comforting). By creating these dishes yourself, you can also control the ingredients without sacrificing any of the comfort factors.
Stay Away From Take-Out And Convenience Foods The first step to feeling cozy is avoiding the temptation of take-out food. While it may seem like a great idea since you can avoid cooking, it’s actually not. Take-out food is often loaded with sodium, sugar, and preservatives that have been linked to weight gain and other health issues. It also doesn’t give you time to prepare a healthy meal in advance, so you end up eating at home what could otherwise be healthier dishes.
Soups Are a Must! If you’re looking for a comforting winter meal or even something for those busy evenings, soup is a great way to go. They make winter feel more homey and cozy, so they are perfect for those cold days when you want to stay in. Soups can be spicy or mild depending on your family’s tastes, and can also be made with ingredients from leftovers in the fridge.
With soups, there are endless possibilities as well. You could make a creamy tomato soup with meatballs for dinner one night and then vegan lentil chili on another. Get creative with soup-based recipes that will warm your soul!
No Meal Will Feel Complete Without Bread Or Sweets One of the most classic winter meals, bread and pastries will always be a perfect accompaniment to any meal. Whether it’s a hearty soup or roasted vegetables, there’s nothing like a slice of toast to add fuel to your fire. Who doesn’t love serving up some hearty bread with their soups? However, you could always bring some dessert into the mix instead. Why not consider a buttermilk pie recipe to go with your winter meals? You’ll know for a fact that the food is going to be delicious!
Are you looking for wholesome shows that are great for your kids and grand-kids and great grandkids?
I found a gem for you. The series is called “The Garden.” The Christ-centered cartoon series has cute characters, Lenny the Lion and Lucy the Lamb, who goes on assignment from the boss (God) to help with good examples of the character in life. Each story revolves around the best friends having to accomplish their
goals by learning a Bible story or an original song. Butch Hartman created The Garden, who also made of the iconic Nickelodeon animated shows: The Fairly Odd-Parents, Danny Phantom, Tuff Puppy, and Bunsen is a Beast!. The main goal is to teach kids the Word of God.
This series will show your kids the scripture with an original song that you know your kids will remember and sing along to repeatedly, which they can retain from memory. Little kids having the word in their hearts is a key to having God’s word come out of their mouths.
The series is currently available on Pureflix and YippeeTV! And you and your kids can enjoy an original song in every episode. Right now, on this link, you can purchase The Greatest Gift for $1.99 and get a free curriculum download. My husband and I are always looking for wholesome entertainment. This is not escaping reality but instilling character and values in a child’s life at a young age. I’m going to purchase it so I hope you will too. This is a series where you don’t have to cover anyone’s little eyes or feel embarrassed in front of your kids because it wasn’t what you envisioned the series’ story to portray.
Here’s a snippet of The Garden series.
