Bread and butter. It has been looked down upon ever since the low fat and low carb diet days in the 90’s. Growing up, especially when I reached my teenage years, I was under the impression that bread and butter was bad, that it was bad for you, and that it would make you fat….

Do Not Be Anxious 25 “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap…
School lunches again
I mostly rotate my kids school lunches between my buttery baked sweet rolls with ham, cheese and pepperoni sandwiches, pizza English muffins, plain old sandwiches, leftovers, grilled cheese and these turkey melts. I don’t have a great kid sandwich bread recipe (I’ve tried for years and have yet to succeed here) so I buy this…
Baked potato hack
Our after school schedule is crazy busy so I like to prepare ahead for dinner as much as possible. This baked potato and baked sweet potato hack is one of my new favorite go-to meal prep ideas. Rinse and dry potatoes. Place any amount of sweet potatoes and/or russet potatoes in your crock pot. You…
Plow the ground
Our garden hasn’t produced like this picture in a couple years. We were late to plant last year because our schedule was busy. The weather was really rainy and really hot and then it got really cold, really fast. The conditions weren’t ideal for a flourishing garden. In Jeremiah 4:3, the Lord tells the men…
A slow, quiet morning
Today, I have a rare opportunity for a slow, quiet Saturday morning. We are out of coffee pods so I brewed some slow drip coffee in my Chemex. Normally, the longer process would frustrate me, but this morning I had the time and a view of a blue, sunny sky over the pasture. The coffee…
Spice trick
Do your small children refuse to eat the green things floating in their soup? Mine are used to it now, but when they were little, they didn’t like the green spices floating around in their chicken noodle soup. I found this little strainer ball at the grocery one day and I put my spices in…
English Muffin Pizza Sandwich: another school lunch idea
Another school lunch idea! I used to love english muffin pizzas as a kid, but they don’t travel well in lunch boxes because the cheese is messy so I invented the english muffin pizza sandwich! I used Dave’s Bread English muffins (homemade are on my list try, but I haven’t gotten around to it yet),…
Our newest go-to school lunch
School lunches are tough! They typically don’t taste good after sitting in a lunch box all morning and my kids get bored with the same thing all of the time. Our school is nut free and we don’t have microwave access. We occasionally do leftovers in a thermos or just eat turkey wraps, English muffin…
Fiesta-ish Chicken Salad
Fiesta-ish Chicken Salad Chicken salad makes me think of “everything but the kitchen sink salad.” I make it different every time based on what I have on hand. I had some leftover grilled chicken from the weekend so I chopped it up, added pickled onion, orange bell pepper, cilantro, salt, pepper and sour cream…
