Pinterest for Recipes

Today I am planning my menu for the week! I am not super consistent with this practice, but every now and then I like to change it up. This week my goal is to use recipes that I have found on Pinterest. Due to a budget, I have to use what I already have. So this is more of a tester of new recipes. In my pantry is Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Mix, Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free Cornbread, as well as some salad ingredients.

I do have a lot of recipes already pinned, but most of them are full of carbs, full of cheese or full of sugar. Most of the time I think I repin these recipes and imagine eating them:) Well today I am on a quest to find healthier options for dinners this week...they have to be gluten free as well. Oh yah...my kids have to like it too! I will probably modify some of the dishes with ingredients I already have or to make it husband safe (gluten free)

(took a break to find them)

Here is what I am going to try to cook and wow my family with:

Monday night my daughter has a dance class, so I need something easy. I will be making Fajitas!

Tuesday night I will make Chicken Rollatini Stuffed with Zucchini and Mozzarella (that was a mouthful).

Wednesday night my son has baseball, so again I need something easy. I will be making leftover chicken and salad, with mac and cheese for the kids.

Thursday night I will be making Pizza with toppings I already have.

Friday night my daughter has another dance class, so we will probably eat out at our favorite Thai Restaurant Panvimarn.

Saturday night I will attempt to make gluten free crepes filled with eggs, cheese and mushrooms.

Sunday will be a mystery! (I guess whatever I have leftover)

Here is a link to this week's menu board on pinterest.

Wish me luck!

Joslyn's Prayer!

My daughter is so sweet! Every night she prays...and I get to hear how she relates to God. Tonight it went something like this;
 "Dear God, I know tonight Math was pretty frustrating. But that doesn't matter, its because you love us so much...that is what is important and you want to help.You are so gentle and loving and full of kindness....."

There was so much more to her prayer, but I didn't record it:(

She is only 6 and already I see her drawing near to Him. She used to pray repeat prayers that I said in previous prayers, but this is coming from her heart and understanding of God as the loving parent. Tonight I referred to Him as the "ultimate" parent to her and she thought that was true!

What a wonderful opportunity I have every night, to peek into her heart! Thank you Lord for Joslyn!
