Thanks to everyone who joined me in getting a Sourdough Starter going this week. If you want to learn to make whole wheat sourdough…check out these posts! Now we’re ready to make the Sourdough Bread! I’ll post the steps sometime on Monday. (Probably that night by the time it finishes baking!)

Besides posting about making sourdough bread, I have a really fun winter-time lunch idea to share…we’ll start the Women with a Mission series…and I’ll take you on a LIVE tour of my kitchen! (Yes, I videoed my kitchen for you. You can even hear my pantry door squeak!). I also hope you’ll join us for Gratituesday!
Here’s to a great week!

After my mother read us the book during my childhood, I have refused to watch the updated Cheaper by the Dozen on principle. :>)
I’d kind of like to hear more about your honey oat crunch cereal . . .
Cheaper by the dozen books and movies are my favorite! They are so much fun! Your menu looks really good!
I will have to try your cornbread muffin recipe…I’ve been looking for a healthier one than my old standby!
Ok – I am SO excited – I just ate an apricot-coconut-oat granola-type bar at a bookstore. Loved it. Put the empty package in my purse so I could try to recreate it. Start following links for MPM – and voila! An Apricot Breakfast Bar recipe that sounds delicious! Thanks so much. :)
Your menu for this week sounds good. I have bookmarked the recipe for the pizza casserole and the homemade pizza pockets. They both sound really easy to make and my family loves pizza.
P.S. I have a bloogy award for you here on my blog.
The pizza pockets sound yummy! Have a great week!
I love reading out loud to my kids. I only wish I had kept a log of what I read to which kids. (I have a 19 year age span between the oldest and the youngest)
I know I have read Cheaper by the dozen to some of them, I will need to survey the ones at home and see if there needs to be a repeat of it soon.
Ooooh! Homemade honey oat cereal sounds awesome!! Would love to see the recipe sometime!!
I would also love to see your cereal recipe…I don’t buy cereal at the store(usually) because it is very expensive ounce for ounce and usually not as healthy as oatmeal or another homemade alternative! I have made some yummy granola before and poured milk over it. It was good!
Your menu looks SO good this week:)
I LOVE reading “Cheaper by the Dozen” outloud. It makes me laugh so hard, especially the car ride escapades! :)
One of these weeks, I’m just going to copy your exact menu. They always sound so yummy and fun. I know my husband would appreciate it.
Sounds good! You all are more orgainzed that I am. I thought I was doing well by planning dinners, but now I see a lot of people plan every meal. I will have to work up to that!
Homemade pizza pockets sound great! Have a great week!
