Food and Thought

Good morning ladies!

I hope this day finds each of you feeling God's presence, His wind and His love! I know I woke up with Him on my mind, in my thoughts today and was able to jump right into my work. I've only got a minute but there were a few things I wanted to share.

First off, let me tell you about the Cinnamon Roll recipe I downloaded from www.marmeeskitchen.com oh my my. She has down it again and made me like her even more! My husband loved the rolls, said they were my best yet! Her recipe calls for a Bosch Mixer, of which I don't have and so you CAN use your Kitchen Aid if you have one of those. They are great! Go get the free download and tell everyone about marmmedear.com!

Also, I wanted to comment on the "Radio Evil" post I made last night. I appreciate you who have replied. There is a certain amount of truth in a lot of things, I believe. One replied saying that there is evil in the t.v. as well, and she is correct. I just wondered what people knew about those who agreed with the radio being evil.

Ok, Ok, what I really need help with , and I know my friend Brenda may like to hear this as well....I would like to get into the habit of having a plan for each day, a schedule of sorts. The girls and I did use a breakfast plan for most of last year, and we did a who's day to do the dishes plan as well. It really does work out. I've just got to get us all back into that habit. But real meal planning for the weeknights and weekends is going to be new to us and I know beneficial. So, who can comment on this? I'll give you some insight. My husband is not home during the week, so the weeknight meals would be for the girls and I (although I may need to adjust sometimes for surprise trips home!). He is home on Fri., Sat., and Sunday though. We don't buy a lot from the grocery store anymore. Condiments and such, lunch meat and meat to cook with, but that is about all. I make all my bread products and milk, eggs and cheese is bought from the Amish. Any advice or input or your own ideas are welcomed.

Ok, my minute is up, so I need to go do those tomatoes. It's a sauce day!
