So here's my latest inspiration from Elisabeth Elliot:
- Turn around.
- Quit that indulgence.
- Do not pity yourself.
- Forgive that person.
- Pay back what you owe.
- Apologize.
- Tell the truth.
- Deny yourself.
- Consider the others well-being.
- Lay down your life.
Much as I love scented lotions, when winter gets long and dry I NEED something like this. I'd recommend it.
I also love love love menu plans and thought I'd share my week with you. We usually have eggs & toast in some form for breakfast. The boys often end up frying their own eggs. :) Lunches are usually leftovers as everyone is at their various area of work and school. So, suppers are our specialty. I actually planned two weeks (last week) and shopped for that and I'm so glad because I feel like - well, like, not much today.
Sun - pork roast (the one from Costco that you can get in a huge box for cheap, 9 large roasts for $70), mashed potatoes, carrots & peas, lettuce salad, apple crisp (like with what I put in the freezer in the fall) & ice-cream
Mon - sausage, potatoes & carrots with tomato soup, onions, etc.
Tues - chicken lentil soup with Red Lobster biscuits
Wed - baked chicken (from the Hutterites), mashed spuds, gravy, mixed veggie casserole (ended up going to folks for supper)
Thurs - grilled marinated chicken breasts, baby potatoes with the topping mix, Laurie salad, apple crisp (one track mind here) and ice-cream
Fri - taco salad (ate in Delisle instead and that's a hysterical story for another time!!)
Sat - pancakes & syrup, leftovers
Sun- to the Villa, got out leftover turkey from mom for the men's lunches
Mon - Tater-tot casserole, veggie casserole (too tired to make more)
Tues - grilled pork loin, cheese bread, layered lettuce salad
Wed - crispy baked chicken, rice pilaf, spinach & strawberry salad
Thurs - chili soup, biscuits
Fri - chicken penne alfredo, ceasar salad, garlic bread
Sat - French toast, breakfast sausage
Hellooo?
Are you with me?
Have a wonderful evening!! May tomorrow be better than today.
