Friends we have such a treat in store for you today…literally and figuratively!
Have you ever thought about food as a relationship? Well it is. And you have one with it. In fact, our relationship with food is so intricate and complicated that sometimes we aren’t even aware of just how much control it has over our lives.
Now, have you ever thought about the relationship between your physical health and your spiritual health? Well, recently we’ve connected with the incredibly talented and beautiful (inside and out!) Katie Farrell and we are so excited to be sharing her story here with you today!
Katie’s road to healthy living was paved with many trials which she shares openly and honestly on her site. And her greatest desire is to come alongside women as they pursue both spiritual and physical well-being.
Along the way, though, she shares some absolutely AMAZING (and healthier!) recipes.
Like this one for Chewy Chocolate Peppermint Cookies.
Katie’s book ‘Devotions for a Healthier You‘ focuses on the connection between mind, body and soul and is not only filled with fantastic meal plans and recipes, it also provides some ‘food for thought’ as Katie provides encouragement through simple devotions.
We’re super excited that now Katie has put together all of her incredible, healthy recipes in one book appropriately called ‘Dashing Dish‘.
AND, we’re even more excited to be giving away two, count ’em, TWO copies!

We just couldn’t resist signing off today with Katie’s own words which just resonate with us so much and we are sure will resonate with you as well.
I have found that everything in life comes to one principal: The more you seek Him, the more you have a revelation of His great love for you. As you begin to understand His love, the more you trust Him with EVERY area of your life! If you haven’t already surrendered your life to Him, He is just a prayer away! He loves you, and He has AWESOME plans for you, if you simply let Him work in your life.
Thanks so much for meeting us (and Katie!) today at the Fence,
