Loving a Life of Biblical Womanhood
I accomplish these tasks before I even pour my first cup of coffee in the morning. These three chores will take less than 10 minutes out of your entire morning, but they will make a world of difference in how your home feels, and will help set the tone for the entire day.

When Stephanie Langford of Keeper of the Home emailed me and asked me to review her new book, Real Food on a Real Budget How to Eat Healthy for Less, I’ll admit that I was a little apprehensive. As a writer affiliated with writerly things, I’ve never been a big fan of self-published works. There’s often something to be said for a professional editing job.
Here’s the menu for my family for the week of May 24th. I am entering week 2 of combining the strict following of the Abs Diet for Women menu plan (well, strict in the sense of measurements, less strict in the sense of how it’s prepared and seasoned) performing the Walking the Walk: Getting Fit With Faith journal and exercise regimen, pulling some meals from there when I’m faced with shellfish or pork in the Abs Diet menu. Other than a Saturday night banquet where I indulged in my weakness, cake, I did good last week. Let’s ignore the fact that I have to make chocolate cupcakes for a birthday party today.

The havarti cheese in this recipe is the perfect addition to this satisfying and nutrient-packed dish.
Pin ItI was shopping at the Christian book store and passed by a display of the neatest kitchen things – plates, bowls, cups…aprons! I could not help myself.
My dad tells the story of his early marriage to my mom, when he went fishing in the McKenzie River in the Willamette Valley in Oregon and came home with a mess of rainbow trout that he just dumped into the kitchen sink. Her response to that was, “What do you expect me to do with that?” To which he often follows up with, “You’re lucky you made it here. There was a moment there that you might never have been.” My mom never has enjoyed rainbow trout, but (after my dad would clean fish well away from mom’s kitchen sink) she would fry it in cornmeal. When I bit into this dish, I was immediately transported back in time to my childhood and eating fresh caught rainbow trout.

This seems to make a huge salad, but when I ate it for lunch, it was a perfect portion. The crunch of the apples and the sweetness of the dried cranberries combined with the balsamic vinegar makes such a beautiful flavor combination. It is a delicious lunch.

Here’s the menu for my family for the week of May 17th. This is something different this week. While working on the Power of a Praying Wife last week, I was convicted that I need to work on my physical health and fitness. I eat extremely healthy meals, but I have a problem with portion control. Couple that with my love of all things cake and my lack of focused exercise this winter, I gained too much weight.

Here’s the menu for my family for the week of May 10th. As far as desserts go, Scott has been asking for some brownies, and since I need to send my husband a care package, I’ll make a double batch. After the Easy Cheesy Chili Empanaditas I made last week, I’ve been hungry for some turnovers, so we’re going to make some apple turnovers, too. I’ll post that recipe when I get them made.
I’m catering a lunch on Saturday this week that I’m really excited about. The church where I used to attend has put together a team of cosmetologist volunteers who will be doing hair, makeup, and nails for underprivileged high school girls for prom night. They asked me to cater lunch for the volunteers and the girls. I haven’t put a menu together yet, but I will be posting the menu and the recipes when I get it together.
