Menu Plan Monday * meat loaf with veggies in it.

Menu plan Monday over at
Organizing Junkie

Tuesday I will bake the chicken and the beef tips for stew.
They were cut out of the larger roast when I ground the beef.
A sweet friend of mine gave the tofu, new life for me, when she pureed it to make wonderful sauces.


Garden harvest of zucchini and yellow crook neck squash greeted me this morning.
No other human hand has ever touched this ...cool isn't it The yellow squash pealed so easy, it was soft
That is my deep freezer carrying basket. I haul in the things to thaw for the week in it. By using cotton gloves it is a lot easier to manage the deep freezer.
We buy cheese in bulk. If it is grated then I placed it in a smaller storage dish this works well, otherwise if it is not used up in time it spoils.

My Meat Loaf recipe
The freshest of grated zucchini :) Apr 1 & 1/2 cup
baby carrots grated 1/2 cup
2 cup Steal cut oats (not instant)
4 eggs (range free)
1 pound sage sausage (I like Jimmy Dean rolls)
1 pound home ground burger (beef)
2 tea. sea salt

1/2 tea sage (ground)
1 4 oz can tomato sauce
Mix all together and then pan it as a loaf in a roaster.
Mine looks like a loaf of artisan bread.

Generously drizzle catchup over it.

Tomato catchup ( I use an organic)

This will make four 1 pound meat loaves.
bake at 300 convection or 350 for 1 & 1/2 hours


The Yellow squash was so easy to peal. I made boats out of it and will serve it with a butter and herb sauce.

By doing all my baking between 9-5p.m. I have it baked with time saver energy on off peak hours. It is warmed in the micro and cooked earlier when I still have an abundance of energy.

The meatloaf sounds great.

Older women likewise teach the younger women...

• how to love their husbands
• how to love their children
• how to be self-controlled
• how to be pure
• how to be keepers at home
• how to be kind and submissive (not subservient) to their own husbands. (See Titus 2:3-5)

'A woman's heart should be so hidden in Christ
That a man should have to seek Him first to find her.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not shouting 'I'm clean living,'
I'm whispering 'I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven.'

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.

When I say.. 'I am a Christian' I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I am worth it.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I still feel the sting of pain...
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His name.

When I say... 'I am a Christian' I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!

Words have power. Here are a few of my favorite sayings.

  • A warm cup of tea is like a cuddle with a friend.
  • The North American Indians have a more eloquent word for ‘friend’ than we do in English. In their language, the word for friend literally means, “the one who carries my sorrows on his back.”
  • Return with Honor
  • The sage anticipates things that are difficult while they are easy, and does things that would become great while they are small. All difficult things in the world are sure to arise from a previous state in which they were easy, and all great things from one in which they were small. Therefore the sage, while he never does what is great, is able on that account to accomplish the greatest things."
  • "HOME IS WHERE YOUR STORY BEGINS"
  • “Live so that when your children hear these words they think of you… Fairness Caring Integrity Honesty Love Trust.”
  • "O Lord help my words to be gracious and tender today, for tomarrow I may have to eat them."
  • "No man has ever been shot while doing the dishes"
