Not to bore you with talk of the weather, but did you KNOW that it might actually get up to the 40s at my house this week?! For several days in a row? You should’ve heard my husband when he was checking the weather last night. I thought maybe he’d just found out we’d won a million dollars or something. Nope, just reading about great weather this upcoming week. Skip the million dollars…bring on the sun!

Snacks for the week:
Thank you all for your input last week about which mixer you recommend. I wanted to point out that Paula’s Bread is a great resource for mixers, grain mills and other awesome kitchen gadgets!
Also, check it out! I FINALLY got around to making a Heavenly Homemakers button and putting it on my side bar for you to grab and put on your own site if you want! Finally! A big thanks to those who emailed me about it so that I would be motivated to finally get a round tuit!

I think I’m gonna try those breakfast cookies. I’ll be the mom of the year if they can have cookies for breakfast. :) BTW I wish I could figure out how to make a blog button. I am so computer stupid. :)
I’m pretty excited about that forecast, too. Could it be that the snow might actually MELT?!? Though I saw pics of a friend in SD and they have a TON. Yikes.
Trying the turkey bacon mini-meat loaves! Sounds so yummy!
I,absolutely, LOVE our blog. I just started one, myself. I am about to make my first order with Azure Standard, too! Thanks for all the great information! LOVE IT! Blessings, Jada
I love the turkey sausage recipe!
I’ve made a bacon cheeseburger meatloaf before. With all the ingredients INSIDE. With a little ketchup and mustard on top. It was divine!!
Sounds like a great line-up!!
Thanks, Laura!! :)
The mini apple pies look great! I’m looking for more handheld breakfast ideas to stock for when our new arrival comes–this would be great! And I’m always looking for new breakfast cookie recipes, thank you!
I just found your blog and it is terrific! I am a newlywed so no children yet. (got married Feb 20) But you have some great ideas and recipes. Thank you!!
I made the mini apple pies yesterday! Yum!!!
