  • What’s On The Table This Week?

      All of last week’s new recipes were hits! I love it when that happens! I have two more new-to-us recipes on this week’s menu plan. If they’re as good as last week’s, I’ll be a happy camper. SUNDAY Breakfast: Blueberry Coffee Cake (One of Copper’s favorites!) Lunch: Potluck after church, We’ll take Oven Roasted…

  • The Weekly Menu

    It’s been a crazy busy couple of weeks, but here we are on the other side of things. Looking back over it all, we’re so very thankful for God’s mercy and provision. Copper’s dad had a medical emergency while on a trip to Canada, but God brought him home safely. We had visitors at our…

  • Beyond Just Dinner – Planning Breakfast and Lunch Menus

    Not everyone menu plans for breakfast and lunch, but I do. There are a lot of good reasons for planning breakfast and lunch, as well as dinner. I like knowing what we’re having for breakfast, and so do my kids. We’re not great early in the morning, so the less there is to think about,…

    True confession. I didn’t type up a menu plan for my family last week! In writing up the Walk With Me post for the Menu Planning Series, the time for typing up our own menu in Print Shop never materialized. I’m happy to report that this week’s menu plan was printed and posted on the…

  • This Week’s Menu

    I’ve been so busy working on the Menu Planning Series, I left planning my own menu for the week until the very last minute! I was away at my weekly planning time at Starbuck’s on Saturday afternoon and realized I had only a few meals planned. I sent Dani a quick email for a couple…

  • Think About It – Things To Consider Before Menu Planning

    I don’t want to make menu planning complicated. Once you get the hang of it, it really is easy and you’ll be able to write up your plans in short order. For those just starting out, though, I want to be thorough. There are a lot of different ways to menu plan, but you need…

  • You Can Count On It! (An Introduction to Menu Planning)

    When my mother-in-love passed away, Copper’s brother read a moving tribute to her at the funeral service. In that beautiful ode to his mother, everyone remembered with him that we could always count on Lola “just like chicken on Sunday”. Copper and his brother grew up knowing that chicken would be served for dinner on…
