I just proof read this post and almost put myself to sleep. Either I’m really sleepy, or this is a really boring and dry post….
My freezer foods have officially been depleted. I have been amazed at how helpful it is to have those grab and go meals prepared! Therefore, I have been amazed at how much I miss them now that they are gone. Over the next few days, I’m planning to cook a little extra so that we can have a well stocked freezer full of healthy convenience foods. I’ll show pictures of my progress once I’ve made some progress. :)
- Mini Apple Pies
- Turkey Sausage – made into patties
- Whole Wheat Waffles
- Taco Seasoning
- Whole Wheat Tortillas (x2)
- Applesauce Bread
- Chicken Fried Steak Strips
- Bean and Cheese Burritos
- Whole Wheat Graham Crackers
- Experiment number two on homemade poptarts!
Speaking of making progress…I bet you’re wondering how our living room is coming along! I’ve got tons of pictures to show you and will put them into a post sometime this week.
By the way, Danielle made a great suggestion to put a link to the Recipe Parade link-up right on the top tool bar of the website. That way, if you want to reference all the great recipes linked up (86 and counting!), you’ll be able to find the post easily!! So…do you see it up there in the toolbar? Just to the right of the Links link. No, your other right. Ah, you got it. Feel free to add your recipe links at any time!
Last week was a sad week for our church family as one of our elders died very suddenly. He was a great man and ugh…how I hurt for his family. We have company coming in tonight for the funeral. We’re so excited that they’re coming to town and will be staying with us, and so sad for the reason they are coming. I am so thankful for the Hope we have in Jesus!

Aww shucks! Glad you added it! I was hoping you wouldn’t think, why doesn’t she just add it as a fave? lol I have so many favorites, and it takes so much time to go thru them all. Most of my faves are recipes!
Sorry to hear about the passing of an elder. This week marked the 6th year passing of my old pastor’s wife (she was only 48 :-(). She was a woman of GREAT faith. It hurts to this day… but the hurt hurts less and less as time passes.
The applesauce bread looks delish! I should try that… hopefully it comes out better than when I make the whole wheat bread— yeah I haven’t mastered that yet. I WILL tho!! Even if I have to buy a bread machine or a stand mixer to make the dough for me!

Not boring at all – you inspired me to make a plan this week after I had been talking myself out of it – thanks! Love the new look.
