I just purchased “The Daniel Fast” by Susan Gregory last night (good timing, huh??!!). She also has a website, www.daniel-fast.com

She gave me some good ideas, which I was so glad of, because I was pretty burned out on BEANS. uggg…. Today, I made my hubby a banana-mango-pineapple smoothie. It was SO GOOD!! (just add some oj & unsweetened soy & a little blue agave). For lunch, I had spinach and strawberry salad with a basalmic vinegar & oil dressing (recipe below). For a snack, garlic hummus from Trader Joes and legal crackers. Then, for supper, I heated up a soup I had made from the first week (from the freezer) – corn & potato chowder, added some red pepper flakes. That added some nice zing! And the best thing today was…SWEET POTATO FRIES. Yum! They were so sweet and so good! (recipe below). Be encouraged, only two more days. Hope to see you all at prayer tonight. Kristen
