    My stomach just started growling which reminded me I haven’t posted a weekly menu for this week. I’m trying to re-establish a rhythm on one of the busiest weeks of the year for our family. Our one and only homeschooler is starting dual—enrollment classes tomorrow at the local college where his dad teaches! I’ve wanted…

    My teenaged son has taken to saying that to me on a regular basis and it always makes me smile. Since it’s been a while since I’ve done any blogging, I thought it was a fun way to ask how you’ve been, let you know what’s on the menu this week, and hopefully put a…

    It seems like recently I’ve been taking a long weekend, every weekend. I love so much about summer, including the freedom to stay up, sleep in, and menu plan after midnight. If you are new to menu planning, may I suggest starting with whatever ingredients you have on hand and looking up ideas. If that…

    “Better a dry crust with peace and quiet than a house full of feasting, with strife.” Proverbs 17:1 We’ve been reading in Proverbs as a family recently and I’m tucking this verse into my apron for safekeeping. Monday: vegetable soup; pesto flatbreads Tuesday: (leftover) chili burritos Wednesday: miso grilled tofu; roasted brussel sprouts and sweet…

    I’m looking forward to an easy week repurposing leftovers for dinner and focusing on brunch ideas each day and poetry tea time (a homeschool favorite) at least one afternoon. Some of my best thinking and praying is done in the kitchen so if you could use some prayer, please let me know 🙂 Tuesday: salsa…

    I unashamedly enjoy going to farmer’s markets and grocery stores, cooking at all hours of the day and night, trying new recipes, and making up my own. I also thrive on being resourceful. So when a friend from church gave us some butternut squashes from their community garden I couldn’t wait to come home and…

    I’ve thought about how much I miss blogging every week, but was just too busy living life, you know? But recently several of our regularly scheduled programming came to an end and I’m truly thankful to be back in the blogger’s seat. Some highlights the past few months have been (in no particular order): DJ…

    The thing about homeschooling is that when it comes to spring break there’s college spring break, our local county spring break, and our Bible study spring break. Sooooo we kind of end up sharing them all like one big happy family. Last week we spent a few days walking thousands of steps at Universal Studios,…

Everything we tasted from sushi to pizza to reuben sandwiches was plant based and delicious. We can’t wait to go back! DJ’s epic bday party is Saturday and…
