Bible Food - The Book of Galatians

For some strange reason, occasionally I get a whim to find out what people in the "Biblelands" would have eaten at the time of the writing of a particular piece.  Apart from the references to meat and dairy, much of what the people ate in those days, in that place, sounds like a good fit for a touring vegan.  Today we did a little dip into the Book of Galatians,  a letter (epistle) written by the apostle Paul to the Christian communities in Galatia.   Scholars date Galatians to around AD 48–55. If it was written earlier, it would be one of Paul's first letters, possibly before the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15, AD 49), which addressed the issue of Gentile converts following Jewish customs.   The main theme of the letter is justification by faith rather than adherence to the Mosaic Law.

Bread and Breakfast



                                                                        Granola, Berries and Oatmeal.... simply delicious!

Since those days of simplistic sayings, Science has made a few adjustments. While it is still important to eat properly, most of us don't have the same urgency around the old rules. BUT, we do know that oatmeal is a high nutrient food-- provides us with manganese, protein, and other minerals and vitamins. 

At our house, a bowl of oat porridge does start the day-- with cherries or blueberries, a dollop of maple syrup, soy milk, and maybe some pecans or a teaspoon of peanut butter. Here are some other old timey, and still healthy, breakfast suggestions you can find on the VeggieSchool site:


Bran-Apple-Raisin Muffins - made with bran flakes, apple and raisins


Carob-Peanut Butter Muffins- made with roasted carob powder, quick oats, peanut butter, flour.

Company Porridge- so called because it is baked. Cake for brekky anyone?

Corn Meal Pancakes- for breakfast or like chapatis with a great veggie stew

French Toast (with a coating of cashew, orange juice, and date)

Millet Breakfast (porridge with additions)
