Susie's advice and broccoli recipe

Broccoli, Calabrese cultivar

First, allow your hunger to be your reminder to bring your prayers/petitions before His throne. Then, afterwards eat the foods listed.

One favorite dish is to use: 2-3 T. Olive Oil,to med. high heat; Add chopped Broccoli florets, chopped Red Onion, 2 Cloves Garlic, several Carrots sliced thinly, and a little Ginger. Stir constantly, then use Soy Sauce to taste. Enjoy! Susie

Thanks Susie, for your good advice. Sounds tasty! Many avoid soy sauce, because it is fermented. You can replace soy sauce with lemon juice and salt.

Sally found Brown Rice Pasta

Hi,
I just wanted to let you know that there is pasta that is made from brown rice now. The brand is Tinkyada Pasta Joy Ready and it's very much like wheat pasta in texture and taste. The ingredients listed is: stone-ground brown rice, rice bran, and water. It is Kosher Certified also.

Just thought you might want to look into it.

Also, it says in Daniel 1 that he ate this way through out the king's reign.

Thanks for the site,
Sally

Thank You Sally. Folks will be looking for this product in their stores. The photo is from their website at www.tinkyada.com. Bon appetit.

Deb's Cashew Stir-Fry

Greetings in the precious name of our Lord Jesus! I apologize for the delay in responding due to being out of town over the holidays. I just started my fast for the 2009 new year this week -- a 21-day fast -- 3 days total fasting with juice and water and the remaining 18 days on the Daniel fast.

I had a good recipe for the Daniel fast which I wanted to share.

Cashew Stir-Fry

• 1 green pepper, sliced or diced
• 1 red pepper, sliced or diced
• 3-4 carrots, julienne style
• 3-4 celery stalks, chopped
• 1 can pineapple chunks
• 1 cup cashews
• 1 c. vegetable broth

Put all ingredients in a large frying pan and cook on medium heat stirring frequently. Serve over cooked brown rice.

Note: I prefer to add the cashews at the end of the cooking time right before serving so that they are still somewhat crunchy.

Thank you so much for your website and all the support it gives to us while we are fasting. It is a blessing. May you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers all throughout 2009!

In Christ,
Deb

Thank you Deb! Your recipe was worth the wait.

Ezekiel Bread is Healthy

Thanks for your web site. Our Church has started the Daniel Fast and I have given out your web site to everyone. I wanted to mention Ezikiel Bread which is all grain and a little honey.

God Bless. Please, keep me in prayer and my hubby as well as Church that we will touch the throne of God. I want to know His will for my life. Denise

Lorraine's Alternate Butter

I did a near 100% raw diet for over 6 months - there are a lot of recipes that could be applied to this diet that would be helpful - for example you could mix agave and coconut to get the flavor of butter in your brown rice - Raw foods do not include processed foods, meats, etc. Lorraine

Thanks for your wise words

Thank you so much for your Godly wisdom. On Thurs. night, God spoke to me about doing a 24- day Daniel fast. I have fasted a few times before, but knew I needed more information to do this well. Reading through your info and question/answer section has answered a lot for me. I know that dairy needs to be out for me. I was eating butter, and need to stop that. I also ate white rice today because it was in the fridge, and after two days of mostly fruit with veggies, I needed something more solid. I am glad to know I can eat some of my homemade bread and potatoes. I will also be glad to add some light dressing, or oil and lemon to my salads.
Thank you again for your wise words.
Your sister in Christ, Debbie

Thank you for your kind words Debbie. We appreciate hearing from you.

Cereal and milk for breakfast?

Is there any kind of cereal and milk we can have for breakfast? Inez

Sorry milk is an animal product, so it should be avoided. One option we use is oatmeal, cooked in the microwave with some raisins. It is yummy and has no processed sugars. There are many good whole grain cereals. You can experiment with cereals, like eating them with natural orange juice. I mix them into my natural peanut butter.

Whole grain products are allowed and can be identified by the ingredient list. Typically if the ingredient lists "whole wheat", "rolled oats", or "whole corn" as the first ingredient, the product is a whole grain food item. Another way to identify whole grains in the foods you eat is to look in the nutritional facts information and check if the food item contains dietary fiber. If it contains a significant amount, it most likely contains whole grains.

Carole's Daniel Fast Peanut Butter

Ingredients:

• 1 cup unsalted peanuts
• 5 Pitted Dates
• Organic unsweetened Soy Milk

Instructions:
Blend in a processor or Magic Bullet, serve on Low Sodium Ezekiel bread. For an extra treat make a peanut butter and banana sandwich. Makes several servings. Store in fridge.

Thanks for your recipe Carole. Some folks allow soy milk. We avoid it, because it isn't a whole grain. You can probably make it without the soy milk.

We make our own peanut butter with our food processor, but have found we need about a cup of natural peanut butter to get the process started.

Check out my favorite peanut butter mix!

Joyce's Basic Salad Dressing

Here is a recipe for a delicious salad dressing that doesn't have any sugar.

Basic Salad Dressing (2-3 servings)
Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup flaxseed oil (or 2 Tbsp. each flax seed and olive oils) I used extra
• virgin olive oil
• 1-2 Tbsp. vinegar (apple cider,tarragon, rice, red wine, balsamic ume plum)
• 1/2-1 Tbsp water
• 1 tsp. Dijon-type mustard (optional, but totally delicious) Whisked into liquid for easy mixing (I used a little more...)
• Whole or minced garlic, oregano, basil or other herbs of choice (I used a
• combination of several.)

Mix well in a shaker jar. Store any leftovers in your refrigerator. Increase recipe for multiple servings. I hope that you enjoy this recipe as much I did!
Joyce

Thanks for sharing your recipe Joyce! One note, many people avoid vinegar, because it is made by fermentation. If you decide to avoid it vinegar, you can replace it with a juice like lemon, lime, orange, apple, etc.

What about salad dressing?

What about salad dressing?
Frank

There are many good options Frank. Be creative! Sue likes to use plain old salt. I prefer simple lemon juice. You can also add a little extra virgin olive oil or colza after the lemon juice. If you like sweet dressing, use orange juice instead of lemon juice.

You could mix up your own dressing with approved sweeteners. Molasses, raw honey, stevia, and Maple syrup are possible sweeteners. http://www.stevia.net/ has more information about stevia, a natural herb. Stevia might be cheaper at Amazon.com. They also have raw honey.

If you come up with a good dressing, send us the recipe, we'll add it to our Daniel Fast recipes page. Check out our Daniel Fast recipes and look at the book Salad Dressings: For Life By Rhonda Malkmus. Amazon has many more cookbooks.

Mix the vegetables?

With the Daniel's Fast; the dried beans do you eat them raw or do you cook them and once you cook them do you eat them only or can I mix the vegetables together? And will they be more beneficent if I eat them one vegetable at a time or if I mix them? Carlos

Thanks for your question Carlos. You can cook, mix and eat the allowed foods any way you like. If you fry foods, like in a wok or pan, just use as little oil as possible. Try to us healthy oils, no animal fat. Don't deep fry foods!

Peanut Butter Mix

I stumbled onto your lovely website yesterday and read a lot of the articles. You had a recipe for peanutbutter where you added 1/2 cup of sun flower seeds, 1/2 cup of chopped peanuts, etc. Then you said you ate 1/2 banana with this mixture. It sounded so good and I told my friend about it and she wants the recipe and I can't find it now. Will you please send it to me? God bless you in your work. Eleanor

Thanks for your note Eleanor. Here it is:

My favorite snack is my natural peanut butter mix on bananas. I usually only eat a half a banana with a tablespoon of my mix for each snack.

I mix together a large jar of natural peanut butter with a half cup each of chopped peanuts, chopped almonds, sunflower seed kernels, pumpkin seed kernels, bran cereal, ground flax, and rolled oats to put on my bananas or apple slices.

If I'm not doing the Daniel Fast, I also include cocoa powder. Sugar really isn't needed.

Why Avoid Fried Foods?

I am just curious as to why you can't have fried foods... especially if you fry them in olive oil or vegetable oil.
Dianna

Hi Dianna, thanks for your question. You can eat some fried foods. Elmer Towns is the author of the Fasting For Spiritual Breakthrough Daniel Fast Diet. He clearly states that we should avoid "margarine, shortening, animal fat, high fat products." So we are allowed to fry foods with a little oil, but we should avoid deep fat frying, which is definitely too much oil.

We prefer extra virgin olive oil and Colza. Canola and other healthy non-animal fats are OK in moderation. Use as little oil as possible. French fries have too much oil. Spray some Pam or Colza oil on your fries and bake them. We use olive oil in the place of butter. Add a little salt if you like salted butter. Don't use olive oil for frying, it cannot handle the heat.

Recipes for Desserts?

Hi, Do you have any recipes for desserts? My children are having a hard time giving up sweets. Thanks so much. Also a prayer request: My daughter has Osteogenesis Imperfecta. (brittle bone disease) Please pray for God's healing.
Michelle

Thanks for taking the time to write Michelle. One yummy dessert is smoothies. Some folks allow brown sugar and raw honey. Stevia is a good low calorie natural sweetener. You can buy Stevia, raw honey and raw sugar at Amazon.com.

Click here to search for Vegan dessert recipes. Avoid the recipes that call for items from the Daniel Fast Foods to avoid list.

Let's pray: Heavenly Father we are grateful that You know our bodies inside and out. We fast because we want to honor You with our bodies. We boldly trust You to heal Michelle's daughter. Make her bones strong and healthy. We give You all the glory! In Jesus Name!

Mushrooms Stuffed With Rice and Greens

by Denise Austin
Makes 4 servings

Although nearly half the calories of hummus come from fat, virtually none of it is saturated. Add olive oil and walnuts and you have a delectable dose of monounsaturated fats to keep you hunger free for hours. Try to use mushrooms that are about 4 1/2" to 5" in diameter. Note: To prevent the mushrooms from becoming waterlogged, remove any sand or dirt with a brush and wipe with damp paper towels instead of rinsing with water.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup brown rice
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 4 cups sliced escarole (a form of endive that is both versatile and tasty) or Swiss chard (a delicious leafy green vegetable)
• 2 large garlic cloves, minced
• 1/2 cup jarred roasted red peppers, rinsed and chopped
• 4 large portobello mushrooms, stems discarded
• 1/2 cup prepared hummus, preferably basil-flavored
• 3 plum tomatoes, sliced
• 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped

To Make:

• Cook the rice according to the package directions.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Heat the oil in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until softened. Add the escarole or Swiss chard and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until wilted. Remove from the heat and stir in the rice and peppers.
• Place the mushrooms, gill side up, on a rimmed baking sheet. Spread with the hummus and spoon on the rice mixture, spreading it to the edges. Arrange the tomato slices on top and sprinkle with the walnuts. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Great recipes, testimonies, encouragement

I would like to first thank God, for placing this website on your heart. It was a great resource of recipes, testimonies, and words of encouragement. During my time of fasting, God has directed and arranged my schedule. You see, I’m a stay-at-home mom that home-schools. I was struggling with my prayer time, reading the bible, just having time to commune with the Father. During and after the Daniel Fast I feel rejuvenated, rested, see things more clearly and my joy has been replenished. God has not only changed my schedule to spend time with him, but he has also, given me time to join a women’s bible study group. God is surely Awesome. Yvette
