Another ‘W’ Food for Who Knew Wednesday!

Today for Who Knew Wednesday we shared about another ‘W’ food. Walnuts are a favorite nut for many people and here is a fun recipe for try at home!

CANDIED WALNUTS INGREDIENTS:

To make this candied walnuts recipe, you will need:

  • Walnuts: About 4 cups raw walnut halves (or chopped walnuts).
  • Egg white: To bind the candy coating to the walnuts.
  • Vanilla extract: Just a little for flavor!
  • Brown sugar: I used packed brown sugar, but you could also sub in white (granulated) sugar or coconut sugar instead.
  • Spices: Ground cinnamon plus a hint of cayenne.
  • Fine sea salt: My preferred salt for this recipe. (Note that if you choose to use table salt instead, you will need to use less salt.)

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 cups (12 ounces) raw walnut halves

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Heat oven to 300°F.  Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, sea salt, cinnamon and cayenne until combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together egg white and vanilla until combined.  Add the walnuts and toss until they are evenly coated with the egg white mixture.  Add the brown sugar mixture and toss until the walnuts are evenly coated.
  4. Spread the walnuts out in an even layer on the baking sheet.  Bake for 20 minutes.  Remove baking sheet from the oven, and give the walnuts a brief stir.  Return to the oven and bake for 20 more minutes.  Remove and transfer to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes.
  5. Serve immediately, or store in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.

Mighty…despite our size.

Today’s Monday Motivation focuses on how mighty we are, no matter our size, when we tap into God’s power.

Todd’s devotional is from Winn Collier and called “Mighty.” Read it by clicking here.

Joe shared more about the power of prayer – our ultimate weapon. We are in a constant battle, so how can we respond?
1. Like James 4:7 reminds us, submit ourselves daily to God
2. Close any open doors that give the enemy access.
3. Pray in the name of Jesus, the blood of Jesus and pray the Word!

Name two things in your house that get used more than anything else?

1- TV/remote
2- bathroom/toilet
3- kitchen/fridge
4- telephone
5- bed
6- coffee maker
7- microwave
8- washing machine

Congratulations to Ryan from Mount Vernon, who guessed the top two answers and wins the $5 gift card to Everlasting Cup!

Thanks for listening.

Everybody wants today…to be their day.

Seriously?? How many people claimed February 24th as their day? Who Knew February 24th was everybody’s day?

Pink Day

Pink Day was established in 2007 after a pair of students, David Shepherd and Travis Price, saw one of their fellow students at Central Kings Rural High School being bullied for no other reason than that they were wearing a pink shirt.

In a stroke of brilliance, these two got together and decided to show support for the student and take a stand against bullying by getting everyone at their school to wear a pink shirt the next day. Pink Day was created to stomp out all bullying and spread understanding, and it’s a concept spreading throughout the world.

Tortilla Chip Day – make your own! Find out how by clicking this link from Simply Recipes!

I Hate Coriander Day – SERIOUSLY? But…some people really think it tastes like soap. Here’s the scoop from Encylopedia Britannica.

Inconvenience Yourself Day

This day is meant to serve as an incentive for others to acknowledge their appreciation for acquaintances or strangers and to promote a respectful attitude and an attentive demeanor.

We can all celebrate by simply opening a door for an old lady, giving up a seat to a pregnant lady, helping a child cross the street, stopping to ask if a tourist is lost and needs directions, offering to carry a suitcase up the stairs and generally making a small sacrifice.

But most of all, we have to reflect on what others need and how we can help. It can make a big difference!

Who Am I?

–          I was born on this date in 1885 in Fredericksburg, Texas

–          My father died six months before I was born, so my grandfather helped raise me

–          My grandfather influenced my love of the sea

–          I was appointed to the Navy in 1901

–          I rose to the rank of Fleet Admiral

–          I commanded the U.S. Pacific Fleet in WWII

–          A Navy supercarrier is named after me

–          I died in 1966 at 80 years of age

I am Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz. Congratulations to Dave from Butler, who guessed correctly and wins the $5 gift card to Everlasting Cup.

Thanks for listening!

Digging up the root

Todd shared a devotional today from Anne Cetas about bitterness called “Dig It Up.” Read it from Our Daily Bread by clicking here.

I shared a few notes about tapping into the power of prayer by doing these three things:

1- praying in the NAME of Jesus (Luke 10:17-19; Philippians 2:10)
2- praying the BLOOD of Jesus (Revelation 12:11)
3- praying the WORD of God (Matthew 6)

Name a place where people go, which they insist be clean:
1- bathroom (42 votes)
2- restaurant (30)
3- the kitchen or a fridge (18)
4- hospital (6)

Congratulations to Jan from Howard, who wins the $5 gift card to Everlasting Cup!
