Your weeks always sound so delicious and healthy! I love the cornchip recipe. I might even make it tomorrow. We're down to an awfully empty pantry here too, but I have all the ingredients I'd need for those, and I know my kiddos would love them!
I just love how you are so organized. I could learn a lot from you. Thanks for being an inspiration.
Thanks, Rebecca! :)
You certainly inspire me, as you homeschool your kids. "As iron sharpens iron," I guess. :)
Blessings,
Michele
Everything does look so yummy! I want to try your homemade tortilla recipe soon!
I have really enjoyed reading your blog and getting to know you a bit better.
Congratulations on your dresses. I have had to get different wardrobes for different body shapes:Pregnant, breastfeeding and not either of those. God has provided every time. Modest is always hard to find, no matter what:)
I have been the happy recipient of my mother's sewing talent. She is talented in that and in finding deals. You know what is coming soon? Garage sale season-woo-hoo.
If you come to Randle this summer, we should do the garage sale thing. Rebecca loves to go too.
Kendra,
That would be so fun! :) I love garage sales!
We're hoping to go up probably mid-June, when Calvin has a short break from school.
Thanks,
Michele :)
Michele, I just wanted to let you know that we made the corn chips today and they turned out great! Everyone loves them. I added flax seed, about 1/4 c., that I toasted with my corn meal to give them a more authentic look, and boost health benefits a bit. I also added cumin, garlic salt, and cayenne pepper. These are definitely joining our regular snack rotation. How did yours turn out?
Thanks so much for sharing the link. Have a great day!
Kate
