This warm and tasty meal makes a great breakfast on a winter morning. It’s super cheap, fairly healthy, and the kids love it!
Cinnamon Rice
Creamy Mac & Cheese
This $3 meal is a family staple at our house because it’s got plenty of protein and it’s great comfort food. You’ll find it on our Meal Calendar at least 4 times a month. As usual, this size of a meal will feed our family of 6.

Buttered Noodles With Veggies
This simple recipe is a family favorite, and great for days when I’m not up to cooking a complex meal.

As I prayed about this yesterday, I felt again strongly in my spirit that this is indeed the Lord’s plan for us. And I have to say, I’ve …

Homesteading: Where to Start?
This post is a “prequel” to our first post: Re-thinking Things: How We Got Here. It tells about the time between when we first felt led to get out of the suburbs, and when we actually moved into our old farmhouse.
