~ My Current Memory Verses ~


"Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored."
Titus 2:3-5 (NASB)


~ 2009 Theme Verse ~

"Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass"
I Thessalonians 5:24 (NASB)

~ Friday Show and Tell ~


For my show and tell today, I thought I'd share a recipe with you that includes two pictures.  Try this instead of the store bought chips and bean dip.  It's delicious and nutritious!

Whole Grain Pita Chips with Homemade Bean Dip

Ingredients
Whole Grain Pita Bread (be sure to buy one that is truly whole grain and no sugar in it.)
1 lb. bag dry pinto beans
1 onion, chopped
salt
garlic powder
cumin
pepper


Follow the instructions on the bag of beans to soak the beans overnight.  The next morning, drain and rinse the beans well.  Cook them until done.  I added salt to the water while they were cooking.

When the beans are done, let them cool.  Once they are cool, put them in a food processor with about 1/4 of the chopped onion, salt if needed, a little pepper, and about 1 tsp. of cumin.  Process until blended and creamy like a bean dip.

For the pita chips, simple take a piece of pita bread and slice it like a pizza.  You can slice it into whatever size slices you prefer.  Since the pita bread is hollow in the middle, once you slice it you need to separate the two pieces in each slice.  Lay them flat on a baking sheet.  Sprinkle with salt and garlic powder.  There is no need for any oil on these.  Toast them in toaster oven on toast setting or bake in oven until they start to brown.  The darker brown they get, the crispier they'll be.  Here's two pictures:  one of the whole pita bread and the other of the slices.




Serve with your favorite toppings like salsa, cheese, onion, etc.  Just a note, when buying prepared salsas at the store, be sure to check the ingredients as many have sugar in them.  There are some brands though that don't have any sugar in them.  Of course, you could make your own homemade salsa which would be even better.  For more healthy recipes, click HERE.

Ohhhhhh YUMMMY ! I have been wanting to do this and haven't yet. You should link this post also to my TWT. [0= Anything like this is sooooo much more ecconomical than buying it.

Thank you for joining us in S&T. I have been wanting to get over here but life is still transitioning to trying to create less in my life so I can do the things God has called me to do and want to really do.

Sending you HUGE blessings and ((HUGS)) my SSiC

OH, this is a great idea. My DH made pita bread out of a hunk of WW dough I gave him the other day, and it was perfect....REAL pita bread. Now we can turn that into pita chips.

~ A Little About Us ~


The ultimate goal of Christian home education is to train children to impact the world for God. We want our children to not only hear and learn God's Word, but also be doers of God's Word. Therefore, we strive to teach them:
  1. SERVICE - How to serve God and others
  2. ACHIEVEMENT - To do the best they can in all they do from academic subjects to chores to serving others and more
  3. LOVE - To love God and one another
  4. TRUTH - To live their lives based on the absolute Truth of God
The name of this blog is the acronym for these four areas that we strive to teach our children: S.A.L.T. - Service, Achievement, Love, Truth
