Stay focused.... don't look backwards you are not going there & most especially do not desire the pleasures of sin. Let your focus be on Jesus, the author & finisher of our faith!

Butternut Squash

Last week was my first attempt using butternut squash in my recipe and for some reason it got me excited hahaha. I think it was the mere fact of having to look up different recipes and make something different from the regular.  I remember going to a friend's and as she served me a meal, I really liked the meal and asked for the recipe and she brought out a cook book. The sight of it got me laughing, I considered a cook book quite vintage and also since she lived by herself, my expectation was that her meals would be quite basic but the crux of the matter is that if you don't make yourself sumptuous meals when you live by yourself, you wont automatically start making sumptuous meal when you have guests around or start a family. Its an act that improves with constant practice😊

 I roasted some of the butternut squash with other veggies. I seasoned it all and just chucked it into the oven

I roasted half of it whole, scooped it out and added it to my chicken soup

Soup means different things to different people. Being African, soup is very different for me however this is the English chicken soup. I added the scooped butternut squash to the soup and because I love to eat my veggies crunchy I did not make it into a smooth paste. Lets say, it all turned out nice. Tap on my back hahaha.

Word of the day

Sometimes we are too quick to speak than we are to reason or pray....

This year, I learnt the act of silence. There are some emails I intentionally have not responded too, some conversations I totally ignored, other conversations I refused to get involved in both at work and in my personal life because I was constantly weighing the cost-benefit analysis. Sometimes you have to go through 'life' alone because only then can God achieve what He wants in your life. Some of us are surrounded by a heavy amount of distraction and we wonder why we are not making progress.... This month however, learn to 'zip it'

Entrepreneur minds...

In life generally not just in business, the more strategic we are in our plans, the more likely we are to come up with better ways of doing things and the easier it becomes to deal with situations that may go pear shaped because we have already planned in advance for these events. Sometimes however, life will deal you the 'surprise' card but it should not be a regular occurrence if we are proactive and thinking analytically, logically & systematically.
