The Supper Challenge: Day 4 and 5
Day four’s supper was another hit – Black Bean and Ham Soup. My family loves beans so I knew they would like this dish.
It made enough to provide lunch and supper for Day 5 and because we are trying to eat frugal this week I will have to forgo supper plans for tonight and eat [...]
The Supper Challenge: Day 2
Supper tonight was a quick throw together meal which is good because I had several errands to run and a piano lesson late in the afternoon.
I found the recipe for Mordecai’s Chicken in a church cookbook Come and Dine put out by Antioch Baptist Church in Knoxville, TN. A year ago I was flipping through [...]
The Supper Challenge: Day 1
Today I had a few errands to run, but other than that we pretty much took the day off. The children and I had cleaned the house last night after church so there was very little tidying to do.
Because it was our day off I didn’t want to spend very much time in the kitchen. [...]
The Lunch Challenge Link-up
Well, this week could have been a bit more successful perhaps, but life happens and life usually doesn’t wait for us to schedule and organize it.
But let’s not focus too much on the lunches I didn’t prepare, rather let’s take a quick look at what we did eat this week.
Monday – Because of an out [...]
The Lunch Challenge: Day 5
Today was an enjoyable day running errands with the children. After errands we went through the drive through at McDonalds and took our lunch to a local park. The weather was wonderful and made me wish we could do that every day!
But because I had pizza on the menu for lunch yesterday and I didn’t [...]
The Lunch Challenge: Day 4
According to my menu today’s lunch was to be homemade pizza. But we had so many leftovers in the refrigerator that I couldn’t justify cooking another meal. I had enough leftovers for both lunch and supper. I knew I would have a leftover meal but I had it planned for tomorrow. As it is I’ll [...]
The Lunch Challenge: Day 3
Today’s lunch was another quick and easy, yet tasty meal perfect for impromptu visits or anytime you need to put something on the table in a flash.
For my “real food” friends, this is not the meal for you. You will forever be disappointed in me. Everything I made today was totally processed convenience foods. However, [...]
The Lunch Challenge: Day 2
On those rare occasions when I need a quick meal, it Works for Me to have an easy-to-fix meal that calls for ingredients I already have in my pantry.
Despite its boring name, Taco Stuff fits that description. This cooks up quickly with very little clean-up – perfect for unexpected company or even after church [...]
The Lunch Challenge: Day 1
Well, I’m a bit late with getting day 1 of the Lunch Challenge posted. I was not feeling well yesterday. Then we traveled out of town for a special meeting. By the time we got home at 10 o’clock I was wiped out and went straight to bed. Thankfully I woke up well rested and [...]
Menu Plan Monday: The Lunch Challenge
Last week Joy at Five J’s and I challenged ourselves to prepare breakfast for our families every morning. While there were a few bumps along the way, we have both declared the week a success and are looking forward to our challenge this week – The Lunch Challenge!
While our Breakfast Challenge is over, we’re still [...]
