I just realized that I never made a post for the special summer meals and recipe links but here is the one for Fall… I do believe that a lot of the recipes were on the blog but this just makes them easier to find.

If you haven’t checked out our Perpetual Meal Plan – Fall 2024 then you should do it NOW! It’s completely FREE and a lot of the recipes can be found right here on our blog. Plus we’ve got lots of ideas for those special meals that happen during September, October, and November. Hopefully, you will still have time to grab the items you need for the upcoming meals!

Sourdough ‘Pourtillas’

Published on August 12, 2024July 30, 2024 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog2 Comments

What the heck are Pourtillas? Well, they are pourable tortillas… and they are so good and easy.

We love tacos and burritos on homemade tortillas but I don’t really like how long it takes me to get them rolled out so I wanted something a little easier.

Mr. Awesome likes the keto tortillas but they always seem to thin and fall apart, but these are just right plus they are quick and easy to make although I usually have two or three pans going to get them done in a hurry. You can even mix this up ahead of time and keep it in the fridge so you can make fresh, hot tortillas whenever you want them!

I won’t go into a lot of detail but this is the same format as the Winter Plan, the Summer Plan, and the Spring Plan, but with a few different recipes to change things up. I really can’t tell you how many times my family has thanked me for these menu plans! They are loving all the benefits of having all of these meals pre-planned.

Perpetual Meal Plan – Summer 2024

I’ve been working on getting these meal plans finished and I’m over halfway there! I won’t go into a lot of detail but this is the same format as the Winter Plan, and the Spring Plan, but with a few different recipes to change things up. I really can’t tell you how many times my family has thanked me for these menu plans! They are loving all the benefits of having all of these meals pre-planned.

You’ll also notice that I keep adding some other features toward the end as I find a need for them… I figure that if they are helpful to me then they may be helpful to others. 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.
