Lynch
My name
is Kathryn Lynch and I am so blessed to have found Charis! I really
love learning about pregnancy and birth because the education I am
receiving establishes for me how wonderful our Heavenly Father is.
As it says in Psalms 139, our bodies truly are fearfully and
wonderfully made! I want to be a doula because I have the desire to
help women have births that are
natural and a blessing.
I recently moved to Orlando, Florida to be with my fiance, Brent.
God blessed me with a man that has far exceeded my, already very
high, expectations of my future husband. After we get married this
July, we are going to enter a training program our church offers to
become ministers of the Lord Jesus Christ. This will fulfill one of
my two main goals in life.
My other goal is to be the best possible mother I can be (of course
I'll have to wait a few years to fulfill that one!).
God blesses my life so abundantly everyday and I certainly count
Charis as one of these blessings. I am so thankful to be apart of
this wonderful group of women and I look forward to all the growth
and learning I will achieve in the years to come.

Charis Cuisine
Gazpacho
Serving Size: 8
Ingredients
3 cups tomatoes, red ripe, seeded and diced
2 cups red bell pepper, diced medium
2 cups red onions, diced medium
1/2 cup celery, diced medium
2 cups cucumber, diced medium
1 teaspoon garlic, minced
2 cups organic vegetable juice
1/4 cup organic vinegar, more or less to taste
pinch cayenne
1 teaspoon cumin
Avocado to garnish
Method
Mix diced tomato, peppers, red onions, celery and cucumber together
in a medium bowl. Divide the mixture in half and separate in two
bowls.
Add garlic to one of the bowls and empty into blender. Add vinegar
to the blender and puree until smooth.
Add the vegetable juice, cayenne and cumin to the blender. Blend.
Add the puree to the bowl of diced vegetables.
Refrigerate overnight. Garnish with lemon and cilantro.
This is a great soup recipe to use up those extra tomatoes from your
garden or farmer's market. It makes a cool, refreshing meal or
appetizer on those hot summer days. Experiment with different
varieties of tomatoes and different ingredients. You can blend
your favorite veggies and be creative. It can be made without
tomatoes and instead with blended or juiced varieties of other
veggies. Feature different tasteful herbs for different
flavors. I have made this differently every time my
creative Gazpacho have arisen.
The following bowl of
Gazpacho was made without tomatoes. I juiced celery,
cucumbers, carrots and cabbage. The herb of choice was dill.
Diced apples were added. All the other ingredients are the same as
the one above.
Enjoy! Susan
