I’m in the midst of trying to get all 10 of us ready to head to Church Camp with the youth group at the end of the week….yikes! We still need to eat between now and then though …so I better start planning! Thanks for sharing your meal plan.
This is great, I was looking for some inspiration and that picure of the chile pie stopped me in my tracks. This all sounds great, thanks!
I just came across your site. I’m always looking for new healty dinner ideas to feed my family. Most recipes I find include sugar, white flour, or canned products which are full of preservatives. I look forward to tuning in often to your blog for some healthy alternatives.
Thanks for sharing your meal plan. That is one of my goals for the summer…to get organized and start planning meals each week.
As for the peanut butter, you can add it in with the melted butter and honey, although it might make it more of a soft and chewy granola bar. It’s funny, I was just experimenting with this last week. My kids liked the peanut butter, but I also included chocolate chips in it.
Thank you, Jasmine! That sounds yummy!
Chili pie looks good! We smoked pork using Morton’s Cure- makes everything sort of hammy! My husband pulled it for sandwiches or simply as the entree. We pressure canned chicken soup using an old chicken deep in the freezer, additionally we canned up the carrots left over from making the soup. Today we should be pickling the first harvests and then working on something yummy with the zucchini that ripened. Good stuff!
