This recipe is so easy I didn’t even have it written out… I only had a list on my phone of the items I needed, no measurements or anything but I figured I should probably jot it down just in case my memory fails me or my phone gets dropped in the toilet. This is a must-have for taco nights!

Starting Our Sabbath
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.

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.

Hmm… I can imagine the sounds of thousands of sighs of relief if we all came together and decided not to celebrate Valentine’s Day anymore. While I do love a box of chocolates from my honey, it seems that EVERY holiday has gotten out of hand and become a big thing for the stores to PROMOTE but where exactly did Valentine’s Day come from?

I’m trying so hard to get ahead of the chaos that having a large family brings but I also know that there will be days. Days when NOTHING seems to go right, days when EVERYONE seems to get up on the WRONG side of the bed, days when NOBODY wants to listen or behave … the list could go on but I think we all get the idea.

One thing I’ve been trying hard to do is to get up a little early. I did this before and somehow fell out of the habit yet again but this is one habit that I am really trying to bring back. This starts by making sure that I get to bed at a decent time. This also means that I’ve really been trying to make sure that little Miss sleeps in her own little bed instead of wallowing all over me and Daddy in our bed.
