The Church in the Kitchen: Feeding the Soul: Posthumously by Mount Zion Church

By Jerri Cherry

Blessings come in all sizes and flavors. Some blessings are anticipated; yet pleasing to the soul. Other blessings shower us unexpectedly, causing us to respond with jubilance and joy!

This cookbook is in memory of Apostle Carol Ann Revelle, who brought many blessings to those who knew her and some who never discovered the source of the goodness and grace they received. As a servant of the Lord, certain blessings she extended were life changing. They brought hope to the lost. Other blessings shed light in dark places, where only the wisdom of God could bring change. All of these blessings are memorable.
They are an example of a life blessed by God to bless others. Apostle Carol helped many to taste and see the blessings of God as she led the way by trusting in Him.

May the vibrant spirit of God, that lived deep within her heart, continue to spread contagiously to all who were touched by her gifts and inspired by her love for God. Our hope and prayer is that many more will taste and see that the Lord is good, as we apply what Apostle Carol Revelle taught and shared through the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

BEVERAGES

Coffee Shake

1 Tsp. Instant Coffee Granules

¾ Cup Milk

1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract

2 Tsp. White Sugar, to taste

6 Ice Cubes

2 Tsp. Chocolate Syrup (optional)

Combine instant coffee, milk, vanilla extract, sugar, ice and chocolate syrup in a blender. Blend until smooth.

Cranberry Grape Punch

2 Pints Cranberry Grape Juice (chilled)

2 Cups Pineapple Juice (chilled)

36 Packets Splenda

2 Quarts Ginger Ale (chilled)

Combine juices with Splenda in a serving container. Just before serving, add ice cubes and Ginger Ale. Garnish with lemon or lime slices.

For those who like their punch very sweet, you can use sugar instead of the Splenda, but Splenda is better for you. The juice is already sweet, so Splenda cuts down on the calories. This punch is a great drink for outside pool parties, barbeques, etc. and it is really delicious. My sister made this punch for her pool parties, and it was a big hit with everyone there - she would always have to make an additional bowl of this.

Frozen Chocolate Shake

2 Cups Chocolate Ice Cream

½ or 1 Cup Milk

1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract

1 Tbsp. Chocolate Syrup

Whipped Cream (Cool Whip) - optional

Let ice cream soften for a few minutes. Place in blender with ½ to 1 cup milk. Add the greater amount of milk for a thinner consistency. Measure in the chocolate syrup, and add vanilla. Blend until smooth. Pour into tall glass and enjoy! Put Cool Whip on top to make it look even more delicious.

Fruity Smoothie

1 Pint Blueberries

1 Pint Raspberries

1 Pint Blackberries

1 ½ Pint Strawberries

1 Large Banana

2 Scoops Protein Powder

1 ½ Cups Aloe Vera Juice (Guava Flavored)

5-6 Packs Splenda

Crushed Ice

Put all ingredients into blender and blend well. A delicious healthy drink is the end result.

I needed some healthy food or drink to aid my immune system in fighting off infections, and I knew the answer wasn’t just found in antibiotics. I found out, through trial and error, that I could make a miracle medicine right in my kitchen. Berries have a lot of antioxidants, and they are delicious, especially the strawberries. I make smoothies every few days, and I make enough each time to last me 2 days. TRY THEM. YOU’LL LOVE THEM!

Mint Blueberry Ade

Juice from 4 Oranges

Juice from 2 Limes

Juice from 2 Lemons

Small Can of Frozen Lemonade, thawed

4 Bags Peppermint Tea

7 Bags Blueberry Tea

6 Cups Boiling Water

18 Packets Splenda

In a gallon pitcher, combine peppermint tea bags, blueberry tea bags and boiling water. Let steep for 5 minutes. Remove tea bags, squeezing them over the pitcher to extract as much liquid as possible. Add Splenda, stirring until it’s dissolved. Stir in lime, orange and lemon juices. Add the can of thawed lemonade. Stir until all is mixed well, then add enough ice to fill the pitcher.

Orange Julius

1 ½ Cup Frozen Orange Juice Concentrate

1 ½ Cup Silk Soymilk (Very Vanilla)

2 Cups Water

2 Tsp. Vanilla

12 Packets Splenda

Put all ingredients into a blender with crushed ice. Whirl until it gets ‘slushy’.

Wow! This is a big winner for the kids when they get home from school, and it’s so much better for them than sodas and french fries.

Pineapple Snowball Punch

1 Large Fresh Pineapple

1 (16 oz.) Can Sliced Peaches, drained

1 (6 0z.) Can Frozen Lemonade Concentrate, thawed

1 Quart Vanilla Ice Cream, softened

1 Quart Cold Ginger Ale

Pour pureed pineapple and peaches into a punch bowl. Pour lemonade and softened ice cream into a blender. Blend until smooth. Stir into pineapple mixture until blended well. Pour in chilled Ginger Ale.
