Sounds like the weather just about (but not quite) everywhere is a little crazy. Hope everyone is staying warm (or cool as the case may be where you are). ;)
We’ve had the privilege of feeding the York College track team twice this weekend. Many of the sports teams were back on campus early for training, and the cafeteria hasn’t been open. Various families from church have been helping out. I love treating college students to home cooked meals. The students don’t seem to mind either. :)
Here’s our menu for this week:

If you haven’t already, I’d love to have you share where you are in your healthy eating journey. Check out this post and join the journey!
Also, I’d like all of you to know that when you leave a comment or email me asking me to please share a certain recipe that you see on my menu plan…I DO take your inquiry to heart and file it away in my “to be posted eventually” file. I’m not ignoring your request…just trying to get a round tuit. ;)
Lots of fun coming up this week in the new Healthy Eating Journey and Becoming a Better Help Meet series. (Is plural for series, series? Serieses? Naw, series. Okay, just thinking out loud.) I’ve got a new High Five Recipe to share too!
Most importantly, be thinking of what you’re grateful for so you can join in on Gratituesday!!!

Fun things are always happening here on Heavenly Homemakers. I tell my friends about you all the time.
sometimes, I fall behind in reading my blogs. I don’t see the, “older post” link. Am I missing it somewhere on your page?
I just scrolled all the way to the bottom of this page and the link was there reading “Next Page”. Do you find it?
Laura, Could you please tell me how many personal pizzas you make from the recipe on the link in your menu plan? Is that the recipe that makes six for your whole family? Thanks! Karen :-)
Yes, I can get six personal pizzas from that recipe. I make them bigger or smaller depending on who they’re for, and it works out just about right for us!
I notice you have fruit-kefir smoothies on your menu every couple of weeks. I have just started making my own kefir and am really enjoying it. I am the only one that drinks it and wonder how you store your grains when you are not actively making kefir? If I get a little ahead of myself with it I have been storing it in water in the fridge(I read this in Nourishing Traditions). What do you recommend or do?
Thanks!
P.S. I LOVE your blog!!! :-)
I store them in a little jar of milk in my fridge. I guess I’ve never really searched out the best way to do it…that’s just how I assumed would be best! :)
