Cauliflower Chicken Casserole and Steps

In the turbulence of life I've been comforted lately by the assurance found in the scriptures concerning the ground which is hidden from my eyes but still awaiting my footfalls.

The steps of a man are established by the Lord,
    when he delights in his way;
24 though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong,
    for the Lord upholds his hand...

The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,
    and his tongue speaks justice.
31 The law of his God is in his heart;
    his steps do not slip.

Psalm 37:23-24 & 30-31

The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.

Proverbs 16:9

I know, O Lord, that the way of man is not in himself, that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

Jeremiah 10:23

For who is God, but the Lord?
    And who is a rock, except our God?
33 This God is my strong refuge
    and has made my way blameless.
34 He made my feet like the feet of a deer
    and set me secure on the heights.
35 He trains my hands for war,
    so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
36 You have given me the shield of your salvation,
    and your gentleness made me great.
37 You gave a wide place for my steps under me,
    and my feet did not slip

2 Samuel 22:32-37

When Peter saw him, he said to Jesus, “Lord, what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If it is my will that he remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!”

John 21:21-22

What you'll need for your casserole:

2 heads or 2 frozen bags of Cauliflower, steamed and broken up (if you've never steamed veggies here's a chart to help http://www.healwithfood.org/chart/vegetable-steaming-times.php) 

2-3 Chicken breasts, cooked and cubed

2 8oz bags Shredded Cheese of your choosing (I used Casserole mix)

1 10oz Spinach, thawed

1 clove of Garlic, minced

1-2 bundles of Green Onion, sliced

3oz Bacon pieces or Bacon bits

Healthy dashes of Jane's Crazy Mixed Up Salt

Like any good casserole the simplicity of this recipe is what does it credit. You've already done all the work by cooking your cauliflower and chicken. Mix everything together and bake covered at 350 for 25 minutes. Uncover, stir and bake for another 5 minutes.

What you'll need for Asparagus fries:

1-2 bundles of Asparagus

1/2 cup Flour

2 Eggs, beaten

3/4 cup Bread Crumbs

1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese

A few dashes of Mixed Up Salt

Wash your asparagus and cut the hard ends off. Dredge them in flour.

Mix the bread crumbs, cheese and salt together. Cover your asparagus with egg and toss in the bread crumb mixture. 

Lay out your asparagus on a baking sheet and bake at 425 for 15 minutes or until breading is browned and crispy.

Enjoy your healthy dinner!

Both these recipes incorporate really good veggies and flavors. The casserole can be changed up easily enough if you so desire. Next time I might substitute kielbasa for chicken and add broccoli. I give them both 5 stars.
