Chocolate Ganache Strawberries

Chocolate Ganache Strawberries

It's strawberry season here in southern Michigan and it has been an abundant one so far.

This is a super simple dessert and it can be increased or decreased according to the amount of strawberries that you want to devour (I say "devour" because these won't last after you try the first one - haha).

Ingredients

1/2 cup heavy whipping cream (unwhipped of course)

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (actually, I prefer darker chocolate than semi-sweet)

About 10 strawberries (hulled, washed and patted dry)

If you have more than 10 strawberries then increase the cream and chocolate chips to 1 cup each. If you have less than 10 strawberries than decrease the cream and chips to 1/4 cup each.

Begin by preparing the strawberries as listed above (hull, rinse and pat dry).

In a double boiler, warm up the cream and then stir in the chocolate chips (constantly stirring) until just melted. Remove from heat (including removing the top pot of the double boiler). Using a fork, gently pick up a strawberry and cover it with ganache and then place on a parchment paper lined plate or cookie sheet. Continue with all remaining strawberries.

(see picture below)

Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or more.

Remove from fridge.

Serve & ENJOY!

Energy, Frequency & Vibration #10 - ORANGE

Energy, Frequency & Vibration #10 - ORANGE

This is part 10 in the series on "Energy, Frequency & Vibration." A couple months ago we learned about the frequency of color and I mentioned that in the future we will go through each color in more detail. Well, today we continue studying the colors with the color ORANGE and we will study what significance that color has in the Bible.

(If you didn't read the COLOR post from a few months ago then click HERE to read "COLORS")

Just to refresh our memories - below is the frequency chart from the previous COLOR post:

The word "ORANGE" does not actually appear in the Bible. However, "amber" (which is used in jewelry) is used in place of the word "orange". Amber is used to describe fire.

".....the color of amber, as the appearance of fire."

Ezekel 1:27

"And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire unfolding itself, and a brightness was about it, and out of the midst thereof as the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire."

Ezekiel 1:4

Usually the color red is used when referring to fire. However, as you can see by the picture above, fire really is more orange than red.

In today's study we will focus on learning about fire.

There are many different fire references:

- God appeared as the burning bush to Moses

- God used a pillar of fire to guide the Israelites at night

- God's word is like fire

- The Holy Spirit is referred to as fire

- Eternal damnation in the "lake of fire" or just "everlasting fire"

I believe that our earthly bodies are not equipped to be able to actually see our Heavenly Father's glory in person. That's why God appeared to Moses as a burning bush (see below).

How amazing that must have been to be led by God appearing as a pillar of fire by night (see below):

I recently did a three part series on "God's Word" - click the links below to view:

Part#1 - God's Word is in Our Hearts

Part#2 - God's Word Dos & Don'ts

Part#3 - God's Word Is........

The Holy Spirit is referred to as "fire" (see below). Read also in Matthew 3:11.

Then, there is the visual description about what eternal condemnation without Jesus Christ would be like (see below):

Let's not forget about how Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego were saved from death in the fiery furnace when they were joined by Jesus Christ (see passages below):

“Look!” he answered, “I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”

Daniel 3:25

Everlasting fire condemnation can be avoided by accepting the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ who sacrificed everything so that we ALL might have eternal life!
