Breakfast Cookies!!!

I figured these would be a huge hit and
my kids confirmed it yesterday!

3 out of my 4 kiddos inhaled them. I have one child
that is very texture sensitive and the oatmeal did
him in. Anyway I'd say the other 3 ate at least 5 each
throughout the morning and day... oops!!

I will admit I had a couple cookies too...
okay maybe it was 3 but, that's all I'm admitting to!!!

Visit Heavenly Homemakers here
to get the recipe!! I love her site!

If the buttermilk scares you off remember you can
just make your own. I used -- 1/2 cup milk and 1 1/2 tsp. vinegar.

Whole Wheat Blueberry Banana Muffins!

I love um'!!!

These were sooo Delicious!
I think these muffins give my normal
breakfast (homemade toast with strawberry freezer jam)
some major competition!

These muffins do have 220 calories but are also
packed with fiber... a whopping 4.1 grams!

Here's the recipe...
(Visit Recipe Zaar here to see where I got the recipe from!)

2 eggs
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce --( I used sweetened)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup brown sugar -- (I used 1/2 cup)
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 bananas, mashed
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 cup frozen blueberries

Instructions -- Mix first 6 ingredients together.
-- add next 3
-- mix
-- fold in blueberries

Pour in greased muffin pan
Bake at 375* for 15-20 minutes

So what's your normal breakfast???

Meal Plan Monday

Awwww the big garage sale is OVER!!!!
It was a HUGE SUCCESS, we got rid of soooo much!!!!
But, that was one of the hardest weeks I've ever had.
I just can't function well if I'm gone 5 days in a row...
Good thing I planned it to be Spring Break for our
homeschool or I'd be over the edge!!

I missed the kitchen so much that Saturday, since I was home all day,
I tried out my "new" (my sister and I traded items at the end of the sale)
waffle cone maker... THEY WERE DELICIOUS!! I'm sooo excited about
making homemade waffle cones all summer! I'll share more on it later.
I also made some yummy whole wheat banana blueberry muffins!
4 grams of fiber in each one of those babies!! I'll share the recipe tomorrow.

For now, and a much slower week for me,
here's our menu plan...

Monday -- Beef Stew with potatoes and carrots

Tuesday -- Grilled Chicken, potatoes, brown beans, green beans, and applesauce

Wednesday -- Hawaiian Brats and homemade parmesan fries

Thursday -- Spaghetti with cheesy bread sticks

Friday -- Family Dinner

Saturday -- I'm gone all day to a Beth Moore Simulcast, so we'll likely use our last Book its and get Pizza Hut! -- Anyone else going to see Beth Moore Saturday??

Sunday -- Meatballs, potatoes, and carrots

Oh yea, I have plans to make these Giant Breakfast Cookies. Don't they look delicious?!?!?
My kids will think I'm crazy when I offer cookies for breakfast!!

Have a Great Week!!!

Daily Dose

The "Daily Dose" is back this week! While I tried to continue to have my
quiet time last week, I knew I didn't have enough time to post each day.

Isaiah Chapter 7

Verse 4

Say to him, Be careful, keep calm and don't be afraid. Do not lose heart because of these two smoldering stubs of firewood -- because of the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and of the son of Remaliah.

The BEES are here!!!

Besides everything else going on last week,
Our Bees also came!

We've been waiting on these
little guys for months!!!

They have to be fed for about a month
before the pollen really starts to flow.
That's my hubby pouring in sugar water.

They are absolutely FASCINATING!!
I just love watching them!

It's amazing how you can stand so close and yet
they don't bother you at all.
They know their job and they stick to it!!!

Oh how it would be wonderful if, I mean
when we harvest 100's of pounds of honey!!!

I'll keep you updated!

Keep your eye on my sis in laws site here.
They're trying bees too and that's who got us into it!!
We're so thankful for their help!!

Gift card if you don't need anything right now!**)) Your rebate will come in the form of a Merchandise Check. Which means you must spend it at Menards, (I just use mine for more freebies!)

***

It's been reported that you do not have to spend the $10. and you will still get your rebate. Since the ad says you're supposed to I still think we should as to not take advantage of the program. You can use your own judgement! Thanks for letting us know!
