I have been on a date fest! Trying out new recipes all using one same ingredient dates! The first post What Can I make with dates started it all. This time I began making Caramelized Onion, Date burgers from The Lemon Nest.
Of course I took her recipe and changed it up a bit! In fact, I made two variations, then had my husband judge the final results. He loved being a cooking aficionado!
Ingredients
2 l/b grass fed ground beef
6 pitted dates chopped
1 onion chopped
1 TB coconut oil
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp garlic
Directions
Saute the onions and dates in the coconut oil until tender. (You will be pleasantly surprised by this taste!)
First prepare the hamburger mixture by seasoning with garlic, salt and pepper.
Hamburger 1- Mix in half of the date mixture and prepare into burgers then grill.

Hamburger 2- Prepare burgers, grill then top of the burger with the date mixture.

They both were tasty but one seemed to keep us coming back for more!
And the winner was??????
The burger that had the date mixture inside! It flavored the entire burger with it's sweetness.
What I learned
God has place His sweetness within us, a covenant that He longs for us to respond to.
They shall be My people, and I will be their God; and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me always, for their own good and for the good of their children after them. "I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me."I will rejoice over them to do them good and will faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart and with all My soul. Jeremiah 32:38-41
I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart. Jeremiah 24:7

His one purpose for us is to know Him
We have a choice in how we connect with God. We can simply to add Him to our lives, by following His commands, going to church, trying to do the right things or we can become fully changed by allowing Him to change us from this inside out. When we abide with Him, everything we do and say is flavored by the Holy Spirit who lives within us. This is how I want to be flavored!
