Empty Tomb Rolls (aka Resurrection Rolls) and Resurrection Donut Idea

Published on April 13, 2017April 3, 2024 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog14 Comments

I found this recipe on Facebook a couple of years ago and my kids love to help make these. This has become an Easter tradition in our home. They are a good way to teach about the resurrection of Jesus at any time though!

You can find this recipe listed in our Perpetual Meal Plan – Spring 2024 along with some meal plans for other Spring holidays… 3 months’ worth of meals are all planned out!

There is also a Trim Healthy Mama version HERE. Continue reading “Empty Tomb Rolls (aka Resurrection Rolls) and Resurrection Donut Idea” →

April 9 -15, 2017 Meal Plan

Published on April 7, 2017April 14, 2017 by Susie @ Pollywog's Place Blog1 Comment

This is our basic meal plan for the week. Sometimes we will switch the days around if I forgot to set something out or put something in the crock pot. Please feel free to use this or change it around to suit your family’s needs.

I have started trying to do easier meals on days that I have square dancing obligations. This helps me to be able to put a nice meal on the table without feeling guilty about having some much needed ‘Mommy Time’. Some of these meals may also help with those that have busy or irregular schedules due to work or extracurricular activities.

I do have ‘Snacks/Desserts’ listed as well. I always try to keep a bowl of fresh fruit out on the counter or table for the kids to snack on. Sometimes I will make a special snack or treat for us to enjoy.

Sunday

Breakfast:

Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole

Lunch:

leftovers

Dinner:

Salmon Patties, Mashed Potatoes, Creamed Peas

Snacks/Desserts:

Peanut Butter Crackers

** Pickled Eggs (to have them ready for Easter)

Monday

Breakfast:
