The Story of Three

Hello to all. I’ve decided not to fight my business and work with it. Novel idea, eh? Well, it is back to basics for me. I just wanted super easy meals that would be yummy, light and easy on the pocketbook. Enjoy!

Friday: Grilled Cheeses and some sort of soup (probably tomato–not canned or condensed soup for those of you who are curious!)

Saturday: Chicken & Bean roll ups with carrot sticks

Sunday: Ravioli w/Broccoli, Carrots, Cauliflower & Alfredo Sauce with crescent rolls

Monday: class means packaged meals- I actually found these great little sandwich packs at Trader Joe’s for only a couple dollars. It includes a very hearty sandwich, carrot sticks, string cheese, chocolate graham cookies and a small water bottle. This is my new favorite packaged meal!

Tuesday: Baked potatoes with all the fixings

Wednesday: Spaghetti and Bolognese sauce with Garlic bread

Thursday: Chicken breasts rolled with bread crumbs and baked in a light lemon herb sauce, green beans sauteed in a little soy butter with lemon pepper seasonings

Do you find it as easy as I do to just get in the rut of scrimping? Sometimes I forget the joy of saving money and being frugal. It is so easy to get into the rut of things. Well, consider this post an encouragement. No advise. No great deals or free samples. Just rejoice in what Scripture has to say about our blessed role as homemakers.

Who can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies…
She perceives that her merchandise is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night…
She is not afraid of snow for her household,
For all her household is clothed in scarlet…
Strength and honor are her clothing;
She shall rejoice in time to come.
(Prov 31:10,18,21,25)

The wise woman builds her house,
But the foolish pulls it down with her hands.
(Prov 14:1)

…admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the Word of God may not be blasphemed.
(Titus 2:4-5)

Therefore, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
(1 Cor 10:31)
