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 […]
Thirteen Meals I'm Planning for May
As part of our "3 Moms, 3 Kitchens, 31 Days" adventure, I've planned out 13 meals which I plan to make during May. So here's what's on our dinner menu—in no particular order: Chicken/Rice/Veggie casserole Chicken spaghetti (I haven't found a recipe for the spaghetti yet. Anyone have a great recipe they'd like to share?), […]
3 Moms, 3 Kitchens, 31 Days
I'm fairly new to the blogging world, having begun this blog only 6 months ago, but in that time I've thoroughly enjoyed getting to peek into other people's homes to see how they live their lives. I'm learning something new every day, whether it be a great recipe, a frugal tip, a better way to […]
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 […]
Jaden's Oven Baked Chicken Strips
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
I've never been much of a fruit and veggie eater as I've mentioned before, but this week I'm going to try to introduce some healthier choices into our snack time. 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 […]
