Easter Dinner

This year I am celebrating my own victory over my own sin of idolatry over food and self.  Read about my victory by clicking HERE.

So what am I eating for Easter Dinner?  My meal will consist of a number of delicious items, yet will continue to honor my body as God's temple, as I indulge in things that are wholesome and healthy, free of chemicals and will not attack my cells or my blood sugar, or allow Satan in to attack me and provide me with temptation that would he would, no doubt, claim victory in.     Instead this meal will worship God and make me healthier and stronger!  That's almost an oxymoron for "holiday meal."  Who knew that was even possible???  My Easter celebration will be focused on my family who is gathering together WHILE we eat, but not a celebration of the food itself.    This, in itself, is a victory for me.

Add salt and gravy master to taste and color.

Note: To make a good amount of drippings add 1/2 cup water to the pan the ham is being cooked inches Start with 1-2 drops gravy master then add more if needed as this is very dark in color. If the gravy has lumpy strain in a strainer to remove the lumps
