If you would have asked me a few years ago if I would ever consider myself a homesteader, my answer would have been, “What’s a Homesteader”! HaHa Isn’t it amazing how our perspective for our lives change! But even … Continue reading →

Whats Cookin with GraceandGravy:Meal Planning Week #2

Posted on July 27, 2014 by [email protected]

WELCOME Back Y’all to “What’s Cookin with GraceandGravy: Meal Plans” Week #2!

I hope everyone enjoyed some of the meals from last week. I know some of my families favorites this week were the Chicken n Dumplins and the Mexican Chicken served with Mashed Potatoes. Yum! In fact when I make Mexican Chicken I always make a large casserole dish because it is so well loved. I invited over a friend and her two boys to share with us because I know its one of her favorites as well.

If this is your first time here, every Sunday I will share my families Meal Plan for the week to help everyone stay organized and have some ideas on what meals to fix. No one likes coming home after work or being gone running errands all day, to realize you have no meat thawed for dinner, or you forgot to pick up noodles for your casserole.

So come aboard and share your meal planning for the week as well.

This week I wanted to keep it simple. This week I still have a lot of canning to do, a new Bible Study starting on Monday and lots of yard clean up from a storm last week. I knew it was best to have easy meals with at least one good, hearty meal to last a few days.

I had intended to make toasted subs tonight, until we decided to have dinner with our pastors, which I cooked. They hosted at their house, but I brought the food. They are not only our pastors, but great, close friends. Our families have been so busy with vacations and church events lately that we haven’t had much down time just to relax and visit with one another.

I decided to bring my Homemade Chicken Alfredo because I know its a family favorite and my easy Strawberry Summertime Pie.

After dinner the kiddos walked next door to swim and then everyone came back for pie.

It was a great night, and a great first night of Meal Plans Week 2!

Would love to hear your meal plans for the week. And I hope you enjoy a few of my meals!

Whats Cookin with GraceandGravy:Meal Planning

Posted on July 20, 2014 by [email protected]

It’s a Tuesday afternoon, I’ve been running errands most of day and trying to catch up on laundry for the few moments I have been home. Then I look at the clock and a uggggg sound comes out of my mouth. It’s already time for the husby to get home for work and I haven’t even thought about dinner. I run to the pantry to skim the contents, then head to the fridge only to remember I don’t have any meat thawing. Now what am I going to do? Supper is going to be late, and I can’t think of anything to throw together.

Does this sound like you? Do you ever have those days when you cannot think of another single meal to cook?

Well, your not alone, I think as wives and mothers we all have those days more often than we would like to admit. That is when I started Meal Planning. I used to just write a menu and tape it to the fridge, but then I decided why not share it with you guys.

So WELCOME to “What’s Cookin with GraceandGravy:Meal Plans”!

Each Sunday I will share with you what my meals for the week will be. Maybe we can help to spark creativity in each other for our nightly dinners.

My dad raises chickens for eggs. He recently had a few “heavies’ as they are called. I really felt sorry for these chickens. They were so heavy they could barely move, it was really, really sad and worse of all they weren’t laying. He made the decision to butcher them and asked if we would like the meat and of course I said yes. Free chicken for the family. They are so large they take up to much freezer room so I have been boiling them, and picking off the meat to put in freezer bags. I also have saved the broth. One chicken was large enough to make 4 meals. Ummm YES!

So needless to say, my family will be having a lot of chicken this week.
