• A healthy bread with most meals:
  • I’ve gotten into really good routines now with making my own bread products and other flour products. And I’ve found, that with a growing family, adding in as many bread products as I can, helps not only with cost but in keeping those bellies full without sacrificing health.
  • IDEAS:
    • English muffins, butter, and eggs for breakfast
    • Ezekiel Waffles for breakfast
    • Bean, egg, and cheese breakfast burritos for breakfast
    • Making 4 sandwich loaves a week:
      • PB&J
      • Grilled Cheese
      • Toast on the side with raw butter
    • Dinners:
      • Easy artisan loaves with dinners
      • Homemade tortillas
      • Herb & Cheese muffins with dinner, etc.
• Getting back to making my own pantry staples.
• Homemade cleaning items again.
  • I’ve started first with laundry detergent and dishwasher detergent.
• Growing & Preserving more of my own food. This might be limited a bit this year, but working on it none the less
• Much more consistent meal plans. I’d like to develop four weeks of rotating meal plans for each season! I think this will start in the summer. We’ll see how it goes, and I’ll share what I learn as I go.
