It sure has been a busy month! I think half of our time was spent at doctor visits or sick 😛 Thankfully most of the doctor visits were good ones. I actually did very well on my goals this month. It really is helping to keep them simple and concrete. Here’s how it went. 1. Writing – I …
Homemade Frosted Mini Wheats
After making Oat Squares last week I had the idea to try Mini Wheats. Similar, but something I can tolerate 🙂 And always a personal favorite cereal. I woke up about 45 minutes late today, so I had to throw this experiment together in about 10 minutes. To my great surprise they turned out quite well. I’m sure …
Meal Plans Week of 1-27-13
Sunday, Sunday. It’s here again. And I finally get to go to church again! I’ve had to stay home with sick kids for the past two weeks. Thankfully everyone is healthy again (well, almost…Justin is on the tail end of a cold). What a blessing to have a healthy family and everyone sleeping well. I’m …
Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
Last week I got a request from a friend for a lemon poppy seed muffin recipe. I’ve never made anything lemon poppy seed. Truth be told I’ve probably only tasted something lemon poppy seed once or twice in my life. I’ve just never been a big fan of lemon flavored baked goods – bars, pies, muffins, …
Quinoa Mac ‘n’ Cheese
We tried yet another new recipe for dinner last night. Quinoa Mac ‘n’ Cheese. This recipe comes from Tasty Kitchen. The original recipe has spinach in it. I just used the concept of replacing noodles with quinoa and then made it the way I normally make macaroni and cheese. This was quite good. It was a unique …
Roasted Cauliflower Cheddar Soup
I’ve been in a recipe rut lately. So a couple weeks ago I did some recipe browsing. I found this recipe for roasted cauliflower cheddar soup on two peas and their pod. It was very easy to make and tasted great. I modified it so that I could eat it. So it was basically roasted …
Homemade Oat Squares
Earlier this week we had a long snowy day with nothing to do. And as usual Abram was begging to bake. So I brainstormed what new recipe we could try. I was thinking a new cereal. I looked up the ingredients for Cheerios. There really isn’t much to them. So we tried to make something …

Salsa Bread
Now that we’re mostly over the flu we’re getting back in the kitchen. And we finally got to try making Rebecca’s salsa bread. She came up with the idea last week when we were playing with the toy food/dishes. I used a basic whole wheat bread recipe and adapted it to have salsa and cheese. …
One Handed Honey Herb Chicken
My son and I stayed home from church on Sunday because he was sick. I still wanted to make a decent “Sunday dinner.” But he wanted to be held constantly. I knew I was going to bake some chicken, but had no idea what kind. I knew it had to be simple…so simple that you …
