  • Daniel Fast Overview
    Daniel Fast Overview The Daniel Fast is a spiritual discipline designed to better connect us with God. As members of The River Church, we'll be starting January 1 and are challenging people to fast for either 7, 14, or 21 days. We are using this time to deepen our relationship with God and center ourselves around what God is going to do in our church and in our lives during this time. Who: The entire River Church staff will be participating in the fast and we encourage The River Church family to participate as God leads and directs each person and family. When: Friday, January 1: Begin the “Daniel Fast”. Friday, January 22: Break the Fast! (21-day participants) You may choose to do a shorter fast of 7 or 14 days as well, but we encourage you to take the challenge for the full 21 days! What: The Daniel Fast is a partial fast, which means that we will eliminate some common things from our daily diet, but will have generous options available. We will focus on eating fruits and vegetables that are pure and simple. We have included a list of foods to eat and foods to avoid. *If you have any known medical conditions or suspect such conditions, consult your doctor before beginning the fast. How: There are multiple online resources available on the Daniel Fast. One thing you’ll notice is that there are many ways to do the fast. This is, in part, due to the lack of clarity in the Bible as to exactly what Daniel did during his fast.

  • Ramadan Meal Planner
    Ramadan Meal Planner http://basmatiblogs.wordpress.com A simple Ramadan menu plan with recipes and ideas 1 Contents Introduction 1 Ramadan Meal Planner 2 Suhoor 3 Iftar basics 4 Recipes 5 Soups 9 Mezze dishes 13 Pizza 15 Thai Red curry 16 Desserts 20 1 Introduction We all have a busy schedule and it is often a daunting task trying to fit in creating the perfect iftar as well as fitting in the usual every day household tasks, work and childcare while fasting. As the fasts are also especially long at this time of year, there is the added concern of ensuring adequate nutrition during the short hours when we are able to eat and drink. As a family, we have decided to move away from the traditional model of the mother spending most of the day in the kitchen preparing the iftar and losing precious time which can be spent on beneficial acts during Ramadan. A few notes: • Recipes are credited where possible • I have not included basic curry/bhaji recipes – use your usual ones or many available online (or substitute with your basic home cooked meals) • I have not included any food which requires deep frying as we prefer not to do this. However, you can of course adapt the menu as you wish • The 'iftar basics' are a mix and match selection of foods we normally eat and can be varied (or use your own favourites) • It is best to plan ahead and create a shopping list of foods you will need during Ramadan and buy them now (especially non-perishable foods such as oil and tinned items) and then do a weekly shop of fresh food • As we are focussing on eating well rather than feasting, the recipes are repeated during Ramadan, and we will often make enough to last the next day to avoid cooking every day.

Arab traders brought cinnamon, ginger, paprika, saffron, cumin, and turmeric, still the basis of Moroccan cuisine, along with dried fruits and bread making. They enhanced the traditional Berber style of one-pot cooking that blended local ingredients such as oranges and lemons from Fez, saffron from Tiliouine, the southern provinces provided figs, dates, almonds and the curiously nutty argan oil, while mint and olives came from Meknes, where the city of Volubulis, the most southern expansion of the Roman Empire, overlooked vast olive groves, planted to supply the insatiable appetite of the empire for high quality fruit and oil.
