Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst." John 6:35 As much as I love to cook, read menus, grocery shop and plan meals, it's Christ that is most satisfying. He alone fills spiritual hunger.
I know for myself it's not always easy to think of something to cook for dinner. However, I really enjoy coming up with new creations. Most of my dinner ideas start from looking through my Cooking Light magazines or seeing something on TV. I generally cook 5 nights a week and we eat the leftovers for lunch. I've found this to be a good money saver. I'm posting a few of our dinners from the past few weeks hoping it's encouraging and inspires some dinner ideas!
