Week 2: Summer Vacation Meals with My Girls

I thought I would document meals that my girls make every week for their summer vacation. Honing their cooking skills while we have extra time with no school. Here is week two!

Saturday:

On Saturday, it was Summer's turn to make dinner. She made this meal entirely by herself and did a great job. Jambalaya!

It entails cutting up the green peppers, onion and sausages. Cooking the rice. And mixing it all together. Pretty good for a ten year old! :)

Sunday:

Autumn made our meal for Sunday - Mother's Day.

Tacos and refried beans. Mmm!

My tip for tastier canned refried beans.

Monday:

I forgot to take a photo of my plate so I had to snap a picture of the leftovers of this meal. LOL!

Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes and corn.

Autumn made this meal.

I think a basic cooking skill that some people don't learn when they are young is how to make homemade mashed potatoes. This is a great skill to teach your children when learning to cook - how to peel potatoes and make mashed potatoes. :)

Tuesday:

Addie had a lunch lab for her Family Consumer/Science class to do so she made this before she left for work and we used it for our dinner meal.

Chicken Salad Sandwiches

Cheese Soup

Wednesday:

Addie had a Dinner Party lab that she had to do for her Family Consumer/Science class. With her work schedule, we changed it to a Brunch Party. She did a great job and we enjoyed a beautiful brunch! Here is the menu:

Hearty Breakfast Egg Bake

Applesauce Muffins

Five Minute Fluff Salad

Easy Brunch Punch

I will post the recipes for these dishes in the next few days. :)

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure. 100 Days of Joy and Strength. I was struggling last night. Darkness seemed to overwhelm me. The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope." Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;" II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. Do not gloat over me, my enemy! Though I have fallen, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light." Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...

Ten Tips for Sunday School Teachers

Ideas for Sunday School Teachers: 1. Write a note to each student and mail it to their home. 2. Visit the child in his home and bring a small treat. 3. Make a special treat once a month for your students on Sunday. 4. Have a Sunday School class activity on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. 5. Pray for your students. 6. Have a monthly or quarterly contest for your students. Include bringing their Bible, saying memory verses, attendance, etc. Award small prizes. 7. Have a special craft once a month. 8. Rev up your teaching time! Use props such as costumes, pictures, videos. Make your lesson time come alive. Teach your lesson 2-3 times during the week out loud – you will be amazed at how you will be able to teach it to your students – not just following the words in the book. 9. After the lesson, be creative! Students should not just be sitting and waiting for Sunday School hour ...
