Welcome To Cooking With the Saints!
This is dedicated to those who enjoy eating cooking , praying and or all three.
Each Week we will present biographical detail , prayer and a favorite dish and recipe associated with some of our Favorite Saints .God wants you to connect to him. To love him just as He loves you. You can cook for God. Cook a very beautiful and delicious dish and then offer it to God. Tell God, I will serve this beautiful dish to my family in your name. They will know it was a dish offered to you and made sacred for you. They will feel your sacredness in this food. The food will then be more than delicious. The food will contain your spirit and they will feel your presence as they eat each bite. They will know it was my gift to You and your personal gift to them. The dish can be something simple or complicated.
