Cook With Me!

 

This is a random day in my life post. Here is how it went:

I heated up leftover oatmeal for breakfast at 9am. This morning I served it with diced bananas, cinnamon and a hunk of butter.

I start our school day with "Church Practice" at 10am. The baby usually falls asleep for his morning nap sometime within the hour.

Baby's morning nap gives me an opportunity to work in the kitchen, usually. 

This morning's To Do List:

Make Muffins

Start Pizza Dough

Shred Mozzarella

Make Pizza Sauce

Can you guess my dinner plan? :)

I made the muffins. Someone had given me this baby food puree. I have used it to make muffins and they turn out fine. I just replace the bananas in my Extra Banana, Banana Bread with the puree. (Recipe)

I started the pizza dough. (Recipe)

The baby woke up.

Well, looks like my To Do List 

was a little ambitious. :)

I fried some eggs.

Eggs and muffins for lunch.

I taught the first grader and the kindergartener their school. Or, finished them up, rather.

Quiet time from 2-4pm.

I let the house go and did some reading.

The baby didn't fall asleep again until 4pm.

Back to the To Do List!

The boys wanted to help shred the cheese. I did the bulk of the shredding and then cut two chunks for each of them to have a piece to shred.

You can see some school leftovers still on the table and an onion I am about to dice up for pizza sauce.

I let the children each make their own individual pizzas after I finished the sauce. It was pretty easy this night because our only topping was cheese.

The oven was preheating and caused the smoke detector to go off.......waking the baby. I still had yet to prepare a pizza for Mr. In the Mid-west.

Ggggggrrr! I hate smoke detectors. :/

I said a prayer for patience. 

I had been up tight and pretty edgy most of the day. I had tried adjusting my attitude, but it wasn't until I prayed out loud for patience that it came. 

You know, there really is power in the blood. Funny, that is one of our "Church Practice" songs for this week. 

"Would you be free from your passion and pride?
 There's power in the blood! Power in the blood!
 Come for a cleansing to Calvary's tide; 
There's wonderful power in the blood."

The pizzas turned out great!

We finished dinner and got ourselves ready to go to mid-week service at Church.

That was my day.

Maybe tomorrow I can catch up on the house work 

that I have been letting pile up. :)

Hebrews 6:12 
That ye be not slothful, but followers of them 

who through faith and patience 

inherit the promises.
