Starting Our Sabbath

Published on February 16, 2024October 7, 2025 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog7 Comments

So I’ve been talking about the Biblical Feasts and the Sabbath but have I actually been trying to put these things into action?

Yes, we have. We don’t have a perfect routine yet but we are trying to make an intentional effort to include the Sabbath into our weeks as well as making plans to include the Biblical Feasts into our yearly plans… even though we aren’t quite sure how that will look yet.

As far as the Sabbath goes, we have been doing it on Sundays. I know there is a lot of debate about Saturday or Sunday but for now, Sunday is what works for us. I also know that the Sabbath should begin at sundown the day before but we didn’t do that either although I may try to start that.

Perpetual Meal Plan – Spring 2024

I’ve been working a little too hard on getting these meal plans ready but the effort has definitely paid off. I won’t go into a lot of detail but this is the same format as the Winter Plan but with a few different recipes to change things up. You’ll also notice that I’ve added some other features toward the end like a seasonal produce guide, Breakfast/Lunch Ideas, Themed Dinner Calendar, and a Big Batch/Freezer Cooking idea list and planner. These are all things that have been helping to keep our home running a little more smoothly through all the stuff we’ve been doing around here between house remodeling projects, taking care of animals, adding on to our garden, and just LIFE.

With grocery prices skyrocketing around here, I’ve really been trying to shop for some of the cheaper produce even if we’ve never tried them before. Last week I picked up a couple of acorn squash… I mean we do like most squashes so I figured we would like them too.

I’m sure there are a ton of ways that these could be prepared but I just couldn’t pick a recipe so I went with something similar to what I’ve done with other squash before.

Sourdough Bagels… so easy and delicious!

You may not know this but January 15th was National Bagel Day and we celebrated by making some sourdough bagels for the first time and they did not disappoint. I have always been a little intimidated by bagels and pretzels but now I know it is actually pretty easy to make the bagels so the pretzels will be next on my list… hopefully before National Pretzel Day. (April 26th is National Pretzel Day, in case you were wondering!)
