Faith, Family, Farm and Homeschool Fun

I try to cook healthy meals for my family. I share my weekly dinner menu here every Monday. I cook supper for seven people every night, yes, seven! lol Among those seven, one is on a low sodium diet, one is a diabetic, and one can’t eat wheat. Heart disease also runs in the family. So cooking heart healthy meals is important to me, too.
Friday was my daughter’s volleyball banquet. It was a pot luck, Asian meal. I brought Mongolian Beef. It was a great evening for all the girls, coaches, and parents. It was also the boy’s basketball banquet. So it was a great night with lots of homeschoolers. Here’s a picture of the serving table. One of those many silver crockpots is mine. lol
I like to make a lot of my own kitchen helpers. Sauces, salad dressings, seasoning mixes. I like knowing exactly what is in everything. And homemade is much more economical.
So in my quest to make more of my own kitchen helpers, I developed a Homemade Enchilada Sauce recipe. I used it in these pans of enchiladas.
I didn’t do much out, apart from the usual meals, this week. I did make a double batch of granola bars for my daughter to take to her three day long state volleyball tournament.
I told Hannah, 18, that I wanted her to start cooking supper sometimes. I’m thinking once a week. She wasn’t entirely thrilled. She can cook lots of things and makes lunches sometimes. And she’s an excellent baker. She just hasn’t cooked an entire supper by herself. She picked what she wanted to make. Potato soup and biscuits or bread.
I’m excited for a night off!
The other day, when I took the bread out of the bread machine, one look told me I had forgotten to put the yeast in. What did I do? Sliced it and served it anyway. lol. We were having soup, so it was fine. If it had been for sandwiches, it would have been a different story. lol Proof positive that I’m not perfect in the kitchen! lol Oh, It was a lot smaller than it looks in the picture. lol It was maybe three inches wide. lol
Now…. to answer the question that I get asked about a hundred times a day……….What’s For Dinner? See my menu below! [Read more...]
