Make my own cheese?!

The inaugaural post of the Gulu Gormet re-opening is in honor of Katie, who I first met when she came up to me in the street to tell me that she was selling cheese so that she could stay home with her babies.  We’re so thankful that Katie loved Jesus so very passionately and is … Continue reading →

Black Bean & Corn Soup

I have never really been much of a bean eater.  However, living in Africa there isn’t really a way of getting around eating beans.  Thankfully we came across some black beans, which are like the best kind of beans if one is going to be eating beans, and have found various ways to prepare them.  … Continue reading →

Ice Cream Sandwich Cake

Did I just really bake this bread at home, by myself?  Perhaps some … Continue reading →

Lentil Quesadillas
