This recipe is for one of my friends who is getting married soon and is looking for good recipes to keep in her arsenal. If you have any that you would like to share, feel free to let me know and I will pass them along!
I love how the Lord allows a thing like food to bring people together and closer to Him as they fellowship together. It’s so great to see how as they learn together, mess up together-even in the kitchen, and do this crazy thing called life…He is there every step of the way. I am such a believer in the fact that God is not confined by the walls of a church, but that He desires to be involved in every area of our lives.
All that to say, here is your recipe!
