Quote for the Day:

Troubles are often the tools by which God fashions us for better things.
Henry Ward Beecher


Tasty Tuesday

Today I went to the dentist... was a pain free experience but still numbing. So my sister's Barb's tasty treat below sounds especially good. And she didn't even know about the dentist... amazing how God works all these things out!

I am getting very excited about going to the RBTE (Religious Trade Book Exhibit) in Chicago next week. I think it will be lots of fun. Not sure what it will be like but I'm sure it will be fun. At least that is what I am telling myself.

Today is one of those cold, gray days that should be in March not May. Maybe its one of those inbetween rainy days to bring out the May flowers.

Blessings of Peace and All Good,
Sister Patricia and all the Sisters

Tasty Tip of the Week

from Barbara George

Tasty Tip for Tuesday, May 22, 2007

Berrie Smoothie

Delicious breakfast replacement you can take on the run or sip at your desk on a busy morning. Simple substitutions can change the flavor and consistency of this drink but I tried to make a recipe that was low calorie and healthy.

½ cup plain low-fat or fat free yogurt (or Banilla yogurt-will be sweeter and creamier-yummm-but increases the calories).
½ cup 1% milk
1 medium banana
1 cup frozen berries (or fresh)
2 ice cubes
2 teaspoons honey
(optional- 1-2 tablespoons wheat bran)

Blend on high til smooth. This is not a really sweet drink. If you like it sweeter, add more honey or use the sweetened yogurt. My son added a tablespoon of strawberry jam to make his sweeter. Lots of options. If you make ahead, shake well before serving. Makes 3 cups. Serving size is 1 cup.

6 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber, 180 calories. More fiber if you add the bran but don’t make ahead of time that way.

You will enjoy the Religious Trade Book Exhibit here in Chicago!
We love visitors! We love books! We love Francis and Clare! Most of all, we love God!
Please tell us of your experience when you return.
St. Peter's Church in the Loop is Franciscan and has a good bookstore. You may want to look at their booth.
