Gifts of Grace in Bread, Wine, and Words

Last updated on: October 14, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

We’re back! It was a wonderful trip, 9 days of visiting friends and family, most of whom we haven’t seen for a long time, because although my husband and I both went to college in the Northeast, we are back in this general area after 4 years in Europe, 2 in California, and nearly 2 in Chicago. A few weeks ago I had a post on the Christianity Today women’s blog on why it’s good to have people over to... Read more

Two Kinds of Potato Pancake

Last updated on: October 13, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

{These recipes originally appeared as a part of a list of 10 favorite colder-weather recipes in the ‘Ten Things’ issue of Catapult Magazine. Since I’m still away–and since it’s getting colder here in the Northeast!–I thought I’d re-post these two recipes for two very different sorts of potato pancakes. Yum!} Sweet Potato (& Corn) Fritters This is one of my family’s new favorites, a new twist on our old favorite, potato pancakes (see below). Well, okay, my five year old... Read more

Second Generation, Part Two

Last updated on: October 12, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

While I’m away, I’ve been posting essays, reviews, and articles that have either appeared elsewhere on the Web or else have never before been seen! This one originally appeared in Catapult, but was written more than three years ago…still, the story’s worth telling, I think… {Part Two} A recently-published book that presents itself as a guide to raising a “green” baby seems to suggest that “green” parenting is all about purchasing the right products: the organic sleepers, the low-VOC nursery...

WE LIKE MEAT! (& The Food Matters Cookbook)

Last updated on: October 10, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

{Yes, I’m still away! This review of Mark Bittman’s Food Matters Cookbook originally appeared in the Spring 2011 issue of Flourish magazine.} My family and I love meat. If the answer to “what’s for dinner?” is remotely carnivorous, my sons and husband are thrilled, and, I must say, I am too. During each of my pregnancies, I craved nothing so much as meat, especially red meat. But I’m also a little wary of meat, for lots of reasons—namely, the environmental... Read more

If I get my tech stuff together, I might even go all fancy and post it as a podcast so you can hear my squeaky little voice. Here’s the final part of three parts.} I’m really certain that eating together–as families,... Read more

Another Gnostic Christian Diet

Last updated on: October 6, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

{I’m away this week but will continue to do some (re) posting. This article originally appeared at Christianity Today‘s women’s blog, her.meneutics.} There’s a long history behind Lysa Terkeurst’s bestseller, Made to Crave, recently out from Zondervan. All jokes about “Calorie Baptist Church” and attendance-boosting potlucks aside, American evangelicals have long worried about weight, health, and food. Early writers of Christian diet literature felt that God couldn’t be glorified in fat bodies, nor could souls be effectively won for Christ... Read more

DARE to keep kids off…junk food?

Last updated on: October 5, 2011 at 5:00 am By Rachel Marie Stone

{I’m away this week, but will continue to do some (re) posts. This article originally appeared at Christianity Today‘s women’s blog, her.meneutics.} Amelia Brown, principal of the William D. Kelley School in Philadelphia, recently called on parents and Operation Town Watch Integrated Services (which helps neighborhoods fight crime and drug deals) to position themselves strategically around corner stores around the school.
