Chicken Soup and Turkey Soup Recipes

November 30, 2017 By Thaleia 1 Comment

This Winter I have decided that I want to make sure we always have a hot meal in the evenings when everyone is home so I have come up with
these Chicken Soup and Turkey Soup Recipes. I will probably use our bread-maker to make a fresh loaf of bread to go along with our soup and occasionally add in a salad or a dessert.

Warm up on a COLD winter day with a hot bowl of Chicken Soup or Turkey Soup!

I am planning to try a new recipe every week or two as the cold weather seems to be here to stay! I may even modify a few to be crockpot or instant pot recipes for easier meal prep!

Easy Instant Pot Chicken Recipes

November 16, 2017 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

In our home it seems all my middle son ever want’s to eat is chicken. No, matter what I find at the grocery store he refuses to try it. So, today I thought I would compile a list of some new Instant Pot Chicken Recipes we haven’t had before. I am hoping that I can get everyone to sit down and eat together without too much fuss and muss.

I have to admit I am not the one in the house that uses the instant pot very much. I am still a crockpot kinda girl but hubby has loved using the assistant pot and trying to find the perfect bourbon chicken recipe!

Last Minute Pumpkin Dessert Recipes

November 2, 2017 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is right around the corner? Which means everywhere you look are items containing Pumpkin. My younger boys have been begging to cook the pumpkins that they got last month during our visit to the pumpkin patch and pumpkin desserts are top of their list! I keep putting off cooking the pumpkins for the time it will take to cook and process. I usually use the stove or crockpot to cook up our pumpkins but why not try the instant pot this year?

This morning I thought I would share some pumpkin dessert recipes with you so that I can have a reference to use and so you can fix for yummy instant pot pumpkin recipes for Thanksgiving. I will use our fresh pumpkin or possibly freeze it for future use but canning it would also work if you have some large pumpkins to put up!

Today I want to share some tips for getting your beginner reader to read the Bible. I want to start off by saying that this post is just as much advice for my own family as it is yours. We are not the best examples of daily Bible reading and that is something I want to change. I realize that change takes time AND a conscious decision to be more purposeful. I want to include both Bible stories and Bible songs into our daily homeschool routine.

I asked some Christian mom’s for their tips for getting your beginner reader to read the Bible. I love their responses and how passionate each mom was about making sure their children have a Bible and are read to regularly.
