End of Day 1 of Our Adventure!

Our 31 day challenge is a little hard for me with my schedule. I am sure you never have this same problem. Because I teach piano lessons from home, my weekday schedule isn't very conducive to making dinner on a regular basis. I'm usually teaching lessons between 3 and 6 p.m., which makes it very […]

Day 1, Breakfast

I made biscuits from scratch this morning for my breakfast challenge using Jenny's wonderful recipe. I had hoped to be able to make two batches so I could freeze one, but we had only a tiny bit of milk left in the fridge so I was able to make only one. Of course, after the […]

3 Moms, 3 Kitchens, 31 Days

WFMW: My Recipe Binder

I own dozens of cookbooks but one recipe binder. The cook books are rarely used. It's just so inconvenient to have to search through all of them every time I want to find a recipe (and yes, I realize that's a really lame excuse). But now that I've been working on planning meals and baking […]

Cleaning Up the Kitchen

In May (which I just realized starts in only two days!) I'm going to be embarking on my first month of a tight food budget—$450 for a hungry family of 5—so I decided I'd better clean the kitchen and get it ready for some serious use. Strangely, I was pretty excited about doing the dishes […]

Menu Plan Monday…From the Pantry

The Happy Housewife has really been encouraging me this week concerning my grocery spending, so I'm going to be going on a $450 monthly food budget starting May 1. It's not going to be as low a budget as I'm sure it could be, but I'm taking baby steps here. I tend to spend a […]

What to do with all the books?

Seeking suggestons on how to get our kids to enjoy looking through non-fiction books that are very interesting and educational. We are book collectors. We're avid book readers as well, but we seem to collect books faster than we can read them. We have hundreds of fantastic books with great information in them—from science to […]

An example of teaching life skills to  homeschool kids is learning to cook by doing . Oven baked chicken strips were Jaden's choice for this exercise. Jaden's Saturday meal was moved to Monday this week because of our schedule over the weekend. He chose to make oven baked chicken strips after I showed him this […]

Menu Plan Monday—Healthier Snacking

Here's what's on the menu for this week: Breakfasts: Pancakes, Baked Oatmeal, French Toast, Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Muffins, Cinnamon Rolls Lunches: Leftovers (from Sunday […]
