Recipe #9: p. 143, Ten-Minute All-In-One Meal--Flo Harnish, Akron, Pennsylvania

This meal was very simple and very fast. It tasted good and can be eaten with a fork or fingers!
I closed my previous blog with this statement: We do not live in isolation, but we act as if we do, which leads to
lack of empathy, which in turn leads to violence. To counter this
destructive chain, we must actively seek to follow Jesus and his example
of empathy and compassion towards others.
I left readers with a challenge to actively seek to follow Jesus, and now I would like to offer ways that this can be accomplished through Mennonite Central Committee's Relief Sales and Penny for Power campaigns.
Information about Mennonite Relief Sales:
Beginning in the late 1950’s, Mennonite Relief Sales began for the
purpose of raising funds to support the projects and programs of Mennonite Central Committee,
a worldwide ministry of Anabaptist churches. MCC shares God's love and
compassion for all in the name of Christ by responding to basic human
needs and working for peace and justice. Forty three relief sale events
in the U.S. and Canada raise over five million dollars annually. Sale
events are hosted by local communities with the help of thousands of
hundreds volunteers who contributing their time and resources. Relief
sales today are festive events, enjoyed by large crowds that come for
the food, fellowship and opportunity to support the relief, development
and peace work of MCC. Attendees can purchase hand crafted quilts,
wood products and a variety of other donated items. Some events include
fun-runs, music and childrens activities. Learn more about relief sale locations and how you can get involved by browsing through web page. http://reliefsales.mcc.org/aboutus
