Day 19

Well here it is day 19...how are you feeling? I have fallen slightly behind on posting to this blog. I'm sorry.
Are you tired & weary? Hungry? Are craving the food you left behind or are you rejoicing in this new freedom?
Is your desire to get back to business (or life) as usual? I am trusting that you have gained a closeness and more hunger & thirsting for things of God rather than focusing on what you haven't been able to have over the last 19 days.   Hasn't the "fellowship" with our Lord been up close & personal lately? It's amazing how much emphasis we place on food or things of this world, if you will. think about the marveloius joy of spending this last day in His courts.  Praise Him for the ways you are growing and seeking him more.  Read today's passage aloud as your prayer to God today. Personalize it, sing it loud or just whisper, but Praise Him today.  He inhabits our praise & worship.

Passage of focus today--PSALM 84

Fruit Pizza

Crust

1 ½ cups almond flour (meal)
½ cup roughly chopped pitted dates
½ cup chopped pecans
¼ cup unsweetened apple juice

Fruit Sauce
¼ cup Date Honey  (not really a 'honey' more like Date Butter)
½ cup sliced strawberries

Topping Ideas
Sliced apples, bananas, blueberries, grapes, kiwifruit, mangoes, oranges, peaches, pineapples, strawberries

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place almond flour, dates, pecans and apple juice in a food processor. Process until mixture forms a ball. Press dough into 10-inch circle, about ¼-inch thick, on an 11 x 17-inch baking sheet or pizza pan (rub a little olive oil on your hands if dough gets too sticky). With a fork, poke holes all across crust dough. Bake 10 minutes, or until edges are browned and slightly crispy. Remove from oven and let cool completely, about 45 minutes.

Put Date Honey and strawberries in a food processor or blender. Process about 30 seconds or until smooth and creamy. Spread fruit sauce onto cooled crust. Top with your favorite assortment of sliced fruit. Refrigerate 3 hours or until chilled.

Yield: 8 servings (serving size: 1 slice)

Recipe Notes
