You Can’t Do Everything
I’d been tossing around the idea of quitting blogging for about three months now. I really started thinking about it as soon as it dawned on me just how much less free time I have during the day when I no longer conducted my marriage via long distance means. Since I feel very strongly that the Holy Spirit is who led me to starting the blog, I started praying about it.

Comfort Food Meatloaf
Meatloaf is one of my favorite dishes, if I prepare it or if my mother prepares it. I’ve learned not to order it in restaurants or get it off of buffets, because a lot of people do something to it that I just don’t do – but I’m not sure what that is. I’ve always used green peppers when I make it, but I didn’t have any the day I made it for these pictures, so I used yellow peppers. I LOVED the difference. I will from now on use yellow peppers to make my meatloaf.
Pin ItApril Give-Away: VeggieTales Planters & Garden Kit
I’m sitting on a beach in Florida with my kids, enjoying this beautiful April weather.
I’m taking the week off from my normal blogging schedule. Instead, I have different recipes queued to post daily.
But as I relax and take a break, please take a moment to enter this month’s give-away!
As we enter the beginning of gardening season, I could not help but offer the following as a give-away for the month of April
Clean Sweep
Spring cleaning made a lot of sense for centuries. When homes were heated with wood or coal, the winter heating season brought a build-up of soot and ash on walls, furniture, and fabrics. Spring cleaning marked the end of the heating season, when the entire house was aired and scrubbed clean, when windows could be opened and the winds of spring would blow through the house, refreshing it.
Taco Dinner
Tacos are one of our fun night meals. The kids can pick something other than milk to drink with dinner, and they have a good time eating it.
Whole Wheat Vanilla Wafers
I found this recipe on Heavenly Homemaker’s site. The only thing that I do differently is to use vanilla beans instead of vanilla extract. We have grown to love this recipe! Gregg has always loved a snack of vanilla wafers and peanut butter. I love that I found such a healthy recipe. I send a batch or two with every care package to Gregg, and use them when I make Banana Pudding and Mascarpone Cheesecake with Almond Crust.
Pin ItBlog Stuff and a Button!
I couldn’t figure out where to even begin to create a button I wanted, so Gregg made several and emailed them to me. One really stood out, but needed a little more sprucing up. Between the two of us, we finally nailed it. I’m so pleased with the final result.
Hearty 16-Bean Soup
When we bought the wheat berries for my grain mill, we went ahead and added a 6-gallon bucket of 16-bean soup mix. The shipping was moderate because we already had a good sized shipment coming, and the price per pound was WAY cheaper than an already cheap meal that much cheaper.
Pin ItTweet!
I am now on Twitter. My name is halleeb (Hallee B.) As I’m trying to figure out this new venture, please add me to your follow list and I’ll add you and we’ll tweet and re-twit and just have a grand time. :-)
