Special Holiday Meals: Holy Week Menu Plans

The week before Easter is called Holy Week as it celebrates Jesus’s entry into Jerusalem. It begins on Palm Sunday and ends on Easter Sunday, when we remember his resurrection. It includes key days like Maundy Thursday (Last Supper), Good Friday (crucifixion), and Holy Saturday (Jesus in the tomb), focusing on reflection and the final events of Jesus’s earthly life.** from Google Search

Hot Cross Buns

This is adapted from our Old Fashioned Yeast Rolls, and they are used for special occasions. You can add pretty much any kind of dried or candied fruit to the recipe, and you can add flavorings to the icing, if you like.

This is not my picture, but I will update it when I make them the next time!

Easy Sourdough Quiche

Our new Spring meal plan has quiche in the breakfast rotation. This is a wonderful dish that could be eaten at any time of day or for any occasion… maybe even an Easter or Mother’s Day brunch?

Mr. Awesome’s Mom, Granny, makes an amazing quiche and she wrote the recipe down for me but I was a little confused about the directions so I improvised and it turned out pretty good… he says it is very close to Granny’s. The original recipe calls for Bisquick which I don’t keep in my pantry but I do have plenty of sourdough so I used that instead and just adjusted ingredients until it ‘felt right’.

This has quickly become a favorite in our home! I believe her recipe says to sprinkle a little cheese in the bottom of the casserole before pouring everything in but we haven’t tried that. This is also great as leftovers and you may find that you need to make two of them to keep everyone happy! We do leave the mushrooms whole so that the pickier kids can pick them out pretty easily but you could chop them up. You can also add any other veggie or meat that you like.

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.

Biblical Feasts: Passover Resources

I’ve been talking about these Biblical Feasts to anyone who will listen, whether they want to know about them or not because I’m so intrigued that I never knew about these BEFORE!!!

I have some resources listed in this blog post Holy Days vs Holidays but I wanted to post some more that were more related to Passover. I’m sure that I will be posting about the other Biblical Feasts as well but right now we are focused more on Passover as that is the one that is coming up first. I’m posting them here so I don’t lose them or forget about them… maybe they’ll help someone else but if not they will be here when I need them!

I really like watching Heavenly Minded Homeschool but recently I came across the Living with Eve YouTube channel and I LOVE IT!!! It may be because they have the CUTEST daughter who reminds me of our youngest but I do SERIOUSLY LOVE this channel!
