Hi Deanna - your monthly menu sounds fabulous, this is something that I have been wanting to do with my family (monthly menu) but I have yet to implement it.
I was wondering if you would be able to share your recipes for the Taco Casserole and the 5 gallon cookies?

P.S. I love the look of your blog, where did you get the backgrounds?
The menu sounds great. I have in the past made menus out for one or two weeks at a time and bought the groceries for those menus. This weekend, I decided to make out a menu planner like yours for a whole month and buy the groceries in one trip. Man was it a trip too....but we surviced. This is my first month doing this...so we will see how it goes.
Thanks for posting. I'm trying to revamp our menu and you gave me lots of ideas. I sure wish I knew how to make chicken and dumplings... any tips?
Dh will be happy to have some variety as well. Thanks again!

~~We don't do anything particular for Chicken and Dumplings....I make flat dumplings, which are basically extra wide homemade noodles left a bit thicker than I might do for drying. We do what amounts to a thin chicken soup...lots of broth....cook it through, then bring it to a boil and toss in the dumplings.
Maybe I should call it Chicken Soup with Extra Wide noodles?

No indulgences of self will can be trivial, no denial unprofitable; Heaven or Hell depends on this alone. A parent who studies to subdue it in his child works together with God in the renewing and saving of their soul. The parent who indulges it does the devil's work, makes religion impractical, salvation unattainable, and does all that in him lies to damn his child, soul and body, forever.

We are a Christian family desiring to raise our children with the primary focus of Training their Hearts!
I have no greater joy, than to hear my children walk in truth... III John 1:4
Train up the child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it... Proverbs 22:6
Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!... Deuteronomy 5:29
Our mission in life is not to go to some far-off foreign land, but to work at home and in our churches and home communities. Our goal should not be to leave behind riches and possessions, farms and homes for our children, but a priceless heritage they will cherish enough to work fervently to pass along to their children. It has been done for generations and with God's help it can still be done. In teaching our children, we are striving toward a deep understanding of who they are In Christ. I am . . . a child of God, a gift to my parents and my country. I'm a person of great value because God made me. I can . . . do all things through Christ who strengthens me. God has made me able to do everything required of me. I ought . . . to do my duty to obey God, to submit to my parents and everyone in authority over me, to be of service to others, and to keep myself healthy with proper food and rest so my body is ready to serve. I will . . . resolve to keep a watch over my thoughts and choose what's right even if it's not what I want.
