Beef Strips with Sweet Potatoes

“My fellow believers, when it seems as though you are facing nothing but difficulties, see it as an invaluable opportunity to experience the greatest joy that you can!”
‭‭James ‭1:2‬ ‭‬‬

Greetings Beloveds

Being a believer is something else hey, believing in God especially because wow 😯 sometimes I do not get how He is able to give so much credit to our capabilities as human beings. I mean did you read today’s scripture? At least twice please. Can you in your right mind go through the most and not think that people hate you, sob and cry “life is not fair”, “this is not working out I’m giving up” and, and? A normal person would but not us – us believers see our difficulties as opportunities to experience joy, oh I love this translation so much – we are in fact supposed to be happy and rejoicing when trials come in our walk of living our purposeful lives because that’s when we are able to experience the greatest joy there ever is. Don’t look for joy when all things are going well for you because you will only find it when trials come your way. Now I get why “happiness” isn’t part of the fruit of the Holy Spirit but joy is|we will one day tackle the differences, for now let’s head to the kitchen 👩‍🍳

Tonight we are making a stir fry, I don’t know why I don’t take enough pictures honestly. See how we face trials even on things we deem petty, but we will be okay..

I bought already cut beef strips because #convenience, added bell peppers – I cut them myself in strips and mushrooms.

Waited for the vegetables to cook a bit then added beef stock powder from Inapaarmans Kitchen.

Seasoning time is my favorite because I like experimenting with these flavors – tonight I added garlic and herb, white pepper, corn flour and sea salt. Y’all can tell it does look yummy.

I made sweet potatoes on the side

Prawns Stir Fry

“For I hold you by your right hand— I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.”

Isaiah‬ ‭41:13‬ ‭

Greetings Beloveds ❤️

It is so sad how we are so afraid of almost everything, we are afraid of expressing our thoughts, afraid of doing things that bring us the most joy, we are even afraid of pursuing our dreams, afraid to live our truths, some are afraid of genuinely loving, I mean this is not how God created us to be like, He tells us on this scripture that WE👏🏽MUST 👏🏽NOT 👏🏽BE 👏🏽AFRAID. He goes on to say that He is here to help us, the next time I am afraid of doing something I am going to remember this assurance “I am here for you”. Don’t you just love His Word? It’s so comforting. I encourage you and myself to hold on tight to the hand that holds us by our right hands☺️

We are still having seafood right? Tonight on our kitchen we are serving prawns, I thought I’d make them creamy; you know “creamy prawns” but we had creamy mussels last night, that’s enough cream in a week😂 so why not have them as a stir fry💁🏽‍♀️

I bought my prawns at Pick n Pay, I made sure they were thawed and placed them on a paper towel so that they can be dry.

I then heat butter in a pan and sautéed the prawns😊.

As soon as they turned pink, I put them aside and cut peppers into long strips, fried them together with mushrooms then added this oyster flavored sauce.

Did not take a picture of the spices I used and I’m not going to pretend that I remember💆🏽‍♀️ because I honestly don’t. All I know is that it looks so good🤤

I steamed sweet corn on the side to have our meal balanced.

Chicken Feet Stir Fry

“Obviously, I’m not trying to win the approval of people, but of God. If pleasing people were my goal, I would not be Christ’s servant.”
‭‭

Galatians‬ ‭1:10‬ ‭

Man, do I love today’s scripture; living your purpose, being in line with what God has called you to do may rub some people the wrong way but let me tell you this: once you know for sure that God wants you to serve in a specific way, do it so that He gets to give you a nod, don’t ever seek the approval of human beings because they are inconsistent, one moment they like you and the next they do not. Come to think of it they actually didn’t give you whatever gift you have so aim to please the Giver of Gifts☝🏽 in that way whether they acknowledge what you do or they don’t🤷🏽‍♀️ you won’t be affected in any way.

I was running out of ideas and a friend of mine said “there is no way you are wrapping up this theme without chicken feet” so I thought let me make them in a way I’ve never made them like before🤔. A stir fry came to mind and off I went to the kitchen👩‍🍳 .

Chicken feet tend to be stubborn when it comes to holding flavor so I made sure I add all my spices right at the beginning of the cooking process, these were the spices I used.

I like them over cooked so I keep pouring water if I see them still in tact😅. They must literally lose their shape😂 then I will know

What is a stir fry without vegetables💁🏽‍♀️ I cut my peppers into nice long strips and added mushrooms because they are my favorite of all time, I could eat them with anything if I could.

By this time the chicken feet had absorbed all the flavor and were really cooked so I added them to the veggies and then I….
