Beautiful Spring! I've always said fall was my favorite season but it seems that every spring I decide that spring is my favorite instead. I love the beauty of growth. Of newness. I love when what seemed like nothing becomes something. The flowers peaking up out of the hard cold ground, leaves popping out of the gray looking tree branches, birds, baby ducks, life. What a great reminder of God's love! Ok, end tangent. On to the menu for this week. I got tired of the same ole, same ole. I seemed to have fallen in a rut with my menus and I was wanting something new. So, I dug out my cookbooks. (I actually didn't get one single meal from pinterest this week!) I am doing some basics and a few new things as well! I've updated my menu section so I'll link up the new recipes! Monday- Mac and Cheese with Broccoli and Turkey Meatballs. I'm always one for some good comfort food. This looked awesome with the meatballs and broccoli thrown in. I'm interested to see how the cheese sauce turns out. I'll report back! Tuesday- Chicken Pot Pie- Continue with the comfort food. This is always a family favorite and honestly, pretty easy! Although, I pre bake the biscuits because I do NOT like raw biscuits! Wednesday- Taco's- Wednesday is a busy night, so Taco's are an easy fix and a family pleaser! Thursday- Chicken Enchiladas- I love love love this recipe. Plus, it's a "skinny" recipe. So good! Friday- Friday is date night for us with some friends, so the girls will probably just have nuggets while we're out! Saturday- Pizza- Homemade pizza and movie night! Sunday- Ranch Pork. A pretty common recipe in our house, although, I'm using a different cut of pork, so we'll see how it turns out! I love that this is a crock pot meal and all I'll have to do when we get home is fix the mashed potatoes and veggies! Well, there ya have it. We'll see if it really works out that way this week! It seems like there is always sandwiches subbed somewhere! This morning I read a devotional on living where you live. Putting your roots down in today and not living a shallow life waiting for tomorrow. I don't necessarily feel like I've been shallow in my relationships with family and friends, but I definitely do feel like I've become focused on what is ahead of us. And the truth is, when it's time, God will show us that. Whatever it may be. I might miss opportunities I've got today if I'm trained so hard on tomorrow! 2 Peter 3:9- The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to parish, but everyone to come to repentance.
For a control freak like me, it's hard to trust that God knows the bigger picture. And that he knows what's best for me and when it's best for me. This week I'm going to commit to trust every day to God. To trust him and his timing in my life and in the life of my family. Happy Monday!
