Muffin Tin Snacks

The other day when I was catching up on all my blog reading I came across an entry from Katie the Scrapbook Lady about Muffin Tin Meals. I got inspired so the next day I decided to pull out my big muffin tin. I didn't think this would work for my triplets but with the big tin I was able to give them 2 tins each. This is my first attempt. I did it as a snack. Oranges and Watermelon. The kids loved this new idea.

Here are my children enjoying their surprise snack.

This morning I woke up earlier than the kids which is so rare. I decided to take out the tin again and this time I did a breakfast. I put cantaloupe an cheese and crackers. They also had cereal and orange juice. They were surprised to see the muffin tin again and requested that I do it again. Here's a photo of their breakfast.

40 Day Love Dare - Fireproof

I finally got a chance to watch the movie "Fireproof" that was recommended by Joyce from my MOPS group. I have had it since it was released from Netflix but never had the chance to watch it until tonight. Unfortunately, my husband refused to watch it saying it was a chick flick. While watching the movie I thought about my own marriage. No, we don't fight but we do have some issues about him not helping out. I know that will never change but I can always change the way I think about it and react to it. I just downloaded the book, "40 Day Love Dare". I plan to take the journey and see if things improve. It couldn't hurt but only help.

Now, these three remain:
Faith, Hope and Love
But the greatest of these is LOVE.
1 Corinthians 13:13

And so my journey will begin tomorrow with Day 1.

This is my photo of the day for project 365. It's a photo of me and my husband taken back in June 1995.

My Mother's Day Story

Menu Plan Monday + Top 10 Selecting Recipes

It's been a while since I posted a menu plan. I dread cooking and get so overwhelmed with that question each day "What's for dinner?" It could be that my family is picky. Like, I would perfectly be happy with a pasta meal but my husband has to have a meat/poultry at every meal.

I am so like Laura. Not only do we have the same name but I too get bored of cooking the same things over and over so I do try new recipes often.

My Top 10 List for Selecting New Recipes

1. I pass on all fish recipes since my husband doesn't like the smell of it. I do like shell fish but I tend to eat them at restaurants.

2. I pass on all pork recipes. I gave up pork when I converted 5 years ago.

3. I basically look for chicken, ground beef or ground chicken, regular beef, and sausage. Nope not pork sausage but chicken sausage. I also use turkey bacon in place of regular bacon.

4. I have been looking for crockpot meals lately because of all the activities I do sometimes I just need a quick meal to be waiting for me when we get home.

5. I don't like recipes that have strange to find ingredients or lots of ingredients that cost too much money to make.

6. I collect the recipes and add them to my yahoo notepad and sort them by category.

7. I also like to try recipes that have been tried and true by friends.

8. I try to find quick and easy recipes.

9. I use the internet often. Most times I search by ingredients on hand. The internet is so much faster than taking out my cook books.

10. Once tried. I only put the recipe in my book if my husband or I like it or if the kids all eat it. I make a note on top of each recipe put in my binder if it is a hit. Otherwise it gets deleted or thrown away.

My menu this week (trying all new recipes)
Monday - Best Baked Chicken and Garlic Red Potatoes
Tuesday - *Beefy Pasta Skillet-20 mins
Wednesday - Awesome Slow Cooker Pot Roast
Thursday - BBQ chicken pizza
Friday - Mexican Lasagna
Saturday - Sausage in Sweet BBQ Sauce
Sunday - (hoping we're eating out! It's mother's day)

What are you eating this week? Join Organizing Junkie for more Menu Plan Mondays!
