Grace

A vegetable filled dessert......?
Banana Marshmallow Dip
1 cup butternut squash puree
1 cup banana puree (make sure to add 1 TBSP honey)
1 cup mini-marshmallows
fruit slices for dipping (apples, oranges, or cantaloupe)

Stir together the squash and the banana purees.  Microwave for two minutes.  Stir in the marshmallows, then start dipping!  My kids actually enjoy this dip.  They like it even better with a few chocolate chips stirred in!

     Grace, in the greek meaning, is a gift.  It is a free gift to you wherever you are, whatever you have done, whoever you used to be or still am.  You may not deserve it.  Actually none of us really deserve it.    But grace is given to all who accept it.

        What once was hurt
        What once was friction
        What left a mark
        No longer stings
        Because grace makes beauty
        Out of ugly things.


   - Bono, from U2's song, Grace
