I’ve never needed a menu plan more than I’ve needed one this week. My brain is a little bonkers. (Yes, more than usual.)
You see…I’ve been pretty pre-occupied as I’ve been working on all kinds of surprises for you during my Website-aversary which is in less than two weeks!
Not to mention all the pie recipes flooding my inbox for our FREE Heavenly Homemakers Pie Ebook which will debut during the Website-aversary!! You’ve done yourselves proud fellow homemakers! None of us shall ever have to search for a delicious pie recipe again.
I’ve loved putting all of your recipes into an ebook. In fact…I’ve loved it so much and have spent so much time formatting and cutting and pasting and inserting tables and highlighting texts…that I am seriously dreaming about ebooks. And pies. I cut and paste pies all night long.
I seriously have pie on the brain. My poor children. (Do I have children?) (They must love it when I work on finalizing ebooks…the poor neglected souls.)
Just last week we were in the van heading somewhere, and Justus launched into a story about…something. I absentmindedly responded with, “Oh, that sounds yummy.”
The van suddenly got quiet. (The van is never quiet.) Asa said, “Did you just say, That sounds yummy?” I then snapped out of my pie brain mode and realized that indeed, I had just said that his super hero story sounded yummy.
I explained to the boys more about the pie ebook I’m putting together and how all those pie recipes I’ve been reading are so yummy and that I was distracted with thinking about it…and we all had a big round of giggles. Oh what all these boys have to put up with. (Hey, I put up with my share of stuff too I’ll have you know.)
All that to say…if I didn’t have a menu plan this week…there is no chance we’d actually eat anything edible this week. I’d probably get up from the computer, walk into the kitchen, look starry-eyed at the dirty dishwater and say, “Oh, that sounds yummy…”

If you haven’t voted for your favorite title for our Pie Ebook…hurry and do that here! I’ll close the poll Monday night and our title will be decided!
And guess what? If I can possibly pull it off…I plan to blog about things other than pies all week. I have a product review for you with some yummy recipes…a crazy tomato idea to share…and a sweet friend to tell you about on Gratituesday. And probably some other stuff here and there. Doesn’t that just sound…yummy?

You have certainly been a busy little bee! Sounds like a fantastic week though!
But, Laura, there’s not a pie
in sight on the menu this week…
All the talk about pie got me to
thinking about the nursery rhyme
“The Three Little Kittens” and
how they got into trouble with
their mama for eating pie with
their mittens on…..
Got to see my grands over the
week end. What a lovely time
we had piled on the couch
reading.
I hope you have a great week getting everything prepared! All looks yummy!

I agree, the busy the week the more important menu planning it. Your menu looks great.
That sounds yummy! LOL! Too cute! Love the story, Laura! I can’t wait to hear all you have in store. Great menu this week! I can never decide which recipe sounds the best as you have so many I’d like to try. LOL! :D
Laura, I’m hoping to make the applesauce bread/muffins this week with what I have in my pantry. But I don’t have sea salt. Can I substitute regular salt? Would I use the same amount? (Trying to avoid a trip to the store…) Thanks! :)
Everything sounds great! Good luck getting everything accomplished.
You have some yummy recipes on this week’s menu plan.
Congratulations on your blog anniversary.
Your menu looks great. Here’s hoping that your week goes well for you as you strive to get so much accomplished.
Have you written an entry about rapadura and why you have decided to use it exclusively? I am trying to research sugar options and am a bit confused. Like is rapadura the same as turbinado? Is it just that it is less processed that it is better? Does that mean it has some sort of nutritional value? Thanks!
