Happy AMEN Day ,

If I could choose a cooking demonstration in a class for you to taste the difference - there are three options I would do. The first is to cook grits from freshly milled corn, compared with Bob's Red Mill and then the store bought box. Actually, I did this in the classes I was teaching and without labels- everyone exclaimed how the freshly milled corn cooked into grits was amazingly better tasting. They even said the box grits tasted like cardboard in comparison.

The second would be to make oatmeal cookies from three different oats: freshly flaked, old fashoined and then steel cut. Again, the freshly flaked always wins for flavor and satisfying texture.

Now the third, is cornbread.  This is not surprising and yet, so confirming how God's foods taste totally different when eaten from freshly milled grains. It is eye-opening to discover how we are being fed tasteless fake food and yet we have access to such delicious foods and healing mixed together.

I encourage you to try this in your next class or family get together.  I really wanted to do this at the last retreat, but time did not allow it. Perhaps, we could do this at your next retreat!

Yes, what if you offered a Reclaim Retreat at your home church or meeting place?  Let us know if that is of interest and we can talk about it.

Confession time… there was a day when that little blue Jiffy box used to sit in my pantry too. But once I learned what’s actually in it, I traded the convenience for something even better — homemade cornbread from scratch that tastes amazing and honors God’s design for food. 🙌

Here’s the thing — many boxed mixes, including Jiffy, use BHT, a preservative that keeps oils from going rancid but can also mess with your health over time. It’s been linked to hormone disruption, allergic reactions, and more. Yikes, right?

So, I ditched the box and went back to the basics — and let me tell you, the flavor difference is night and day.

In my video posted today, I’ll show you exactly how to make real, healthy cornbread from scratch — fluffy, golden, and perfect for every occasion.

Once you try it, the fun really begins! Here are a few ways to serve it up:
💛 With a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey (classic comfort)
🌶 Beside a hearty bowl of chili
🧇 As cornbread waffles topped with BBQ or a fried egg
🥗 Or even cubed into a cornbread salad — trust me, it’s incredible!

Whether sweet or savory, side or main, this recipe is pure joy in a skillet. No weird preservatives, no shortcuts — just good, wholesome ingredients the way God intended.

Can’t wait for you to try it!

You can also catch this on the podcast—perfect for a walk, meal prep, or your next exercise session! 🥦🎧
