Three tasks that will change your life

Hearty Spinach and Tofu Risotto


8 oz tofu, drained
1 medium onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2 TBSP cooking oil
14 oz of peeled tomatoes
1 TBSP fresh chopped oregano
2 cups cooked brown rice
10 oz package frozen spinach, or 16 ounces fresh spinach
1/2 cup shredded hard goat cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 TBSP sesame seeds

Blend the tofu until smooth.  In a large saucepan saute the onion until tender.  Add the tomatoes with juice and oregano.  Bring to a boil and reduce the heat.  Simmer for 3 minutes, uncovered.  Stir in the tofu and the rice.  Add thawed or fresh spinach, 1/2 of the cheese, salt and pepper.  Mix gently.  Spoon the mixture into a quart casserole dish.  Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.  Top with the remaining cheese and sesame seeds.



     As strong, compassionate women of God, we sometimes are disillusioned by what our day to day actions and choices should be.  Instead, we are constantly thinking about what needs to be done for ourselves and our family and become overwhelmed and even comforted by the daily routines that keep us so busy.  But we are encouraged to actively engage in three tasks throughout our day.  Despite how busy we are, we can partake in what God calls us to do.  Read the following verse and try to make some slow changes.  See how your heart will change as you follow this advice.

"Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. "
