Menu Plan Monday


greenmpm


Hello! A little late but it is good to be finished with the menu.
Today after doing my budget and the lead in adds on the produce...(man I miss the garden)...The menu was finished.

Creativly after doing a review of the pantry adn not really wanting to heat the house this is what was created.

a cowboy supper :)
when you name it something cool that provokes an adventure it really sets a tone.

In a pot
A can of Progreso lentil soup
1 cryo pack of sweet potato soup
palm full of diced dehydrated onion
bit of Basel
and a good 2 cups of finely chopped left over broiled steak.
(this steak was that gift from the grocer when I cut my hand)

Cowboy tortilla
I did not want to heat the oven...
(not the authentic Mexican)
1 1/2 c water
1 c wheat flour
1/2 c corn meal
1 egg (I use powdered egg white) hens are too hot to lay

made them like a pancake in a tiny bit of peanut oil on very high heat.

The family raved! Ha!
had to keep a straight face on that one.

Here is an old time trick I do every month or so.
Now remember all meals are cooked from scratch and we do not really eat out.
In other words do not freak out when you see a pound of butter cut up.
This is a convenience to just grab a tea. of butter as a cube.

keep it in your better dish as a cold item it just lifts easily off the plate to use to cook with.

Snacks they are only half left after the dinner bowls were all but licked clean in anticipation.

Diced up the apricots and let them to rest in OJ overnight.


The pineapple pasta is out of this book.

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"
