There is so much we have yet to learn. Much of life will require constant learning, exposing ourselves to information, knowledge, and experiences which will cause stretching and growth. This will only occur as we remain willing to be taught and have the knowledge imparted to us.
At times my family will ask me for a recipe, or how to cook something. I am terrible with measurements as over the years, I have come to the point of adding ingredients through experience. It’s the pinch of that, and a sprinkle of this method.
Easy for me to do, most hard for others to duplicate. And yet, recipes are needed in order for a dish or meal to turn out well.
Following a recipe may also require some altering for the good of certain ones.
As our family has grown, we have had to take into consideration:
- those needing less salt intake
- those needing less fat
- those with peanut allergies
- those allergic to tree nuts
- those with an allergy to strawberries
In other words, not everything is good for everyone.
Won’t you join me at Woman to Woman Ministries HERE and let’s discuss a better recipe for life.

Thank you for this invitation to graciously acknowledge that every recipe won’t work for every person. We’re so hard on each other sometimes!
And from a purely practical standpoint, YES, we have to keep track of everyone’s sensitivities, and it challenges our aging brains!
Michele, you have hit on something so important. We can be so hard on each other and we need to be on guard for that. May we be more grace minded.
Love helps us prefer others and consider their needs as we cook, Joanne.
Love truly does move us to do the things we do, even in cooking and baking.
This has been a huge challenge for me these past two years as my husband’s diet has changed completely due to health needs. I now cook meals daily that include no gluten, no dairy, no nuts or seed oils and no sugar. Hubby is so appreciative and we are grateful that his health has responded so positively to the changes and my body likes it, too! But, boy, it’s taken flexibility and creativity when we cook in our own home, when we head out to restaurants and when we are invited into others’ homes. Such a good reminder for us all, Joanne!
