Our frozen fruits and veggies from the garden are helpful for throwing a balanced meal on the table in a minimal amount of time.<br /><br />Sorry about your daughter's possible PB allergy! Peanut butter is such an easy peasy solution--that's a bummer. We just made hard-boiled eggs for Easter last week and I always think, when I make them, that I should do it regularly, as once they are peeled, it's a great on-the-go protein source, but for some reason I only think about them around Easter.

I definitely have less time to bake, so I...Hi Kris,<br />I definitely have less time to bake, so I am buying things like bread and crackers. In addition, my daughters are needing more ready-to-eat items, or items that can be grabbed, when in a hurry, to take for lunch. One daughter is student teaching in the city and leaves the house before 6 and returns around 6PM. Once home she also has homework to complete, and 1 other class to attend. So having things like the string cheese, fresh fruit, crackers, granola bars, and yogurts have been a help for her. Although she loves peanut butter sandwiches, she thinks she may be developing an allergy to something in them. So that's out the window for her right now, too. The rest of the family is enjoying having more foods that are already prepared. Even with all of these items, I am still cooking dinner from scratch during the week. So it's not like I'm buying boxed dinners or frozen entrees.<br /><br />Have a lovely Easter, Kris. Your church brunch sounds like a nice occasion for your congregation.Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-50131465654459985422018-03-31T11:43:44.081-07:002018-03-31T11:43:44.081-07:00Hi live and learn,

I think everyone was quite happy to have something of just their own, to eat on their own timetable, without thinking it may be gone when they want it.<br />I hope you're enjoying a nice Easter weekend!Lilihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292553654219380455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4055690688282230469.post-90904603267806591662018-03-31T07:44:04.984-07:002018-03-31T07:44:04.984-07:00Do you find, with being out and about more, that y...Do you find, with being out and about more, that your food prices go up because you need more shortcuts? I have noticed that in my own grocery shopping. <br /><br />Your crescent rolls remind me that I had a forgotten roll of crescent dough earlier this month that I had to quickly use (it was a little beyond the "use by" date but still ok). Somehow those little tubes can get lost in the door of the fridge! I found a recipe on my favorite food blogger's page that made a chocolate bread recipe--no one complained about the results! :) <br /><br />Have a blessed Easter. I'm in the process of making cinnamon rolls (using a "quickie" recipe as my standard recipe is a time commitment!) for the Easter brunch at church tomorrow. They want cinnamon rolls instead of breakfast breads (boo! I love making my blueberry coffee cake at this time of year!).

There's nothing more disappointing than going to the fridge for an item that you've been thinking about all day to find that it's gone.Live and Learnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13493777474885053903noreply@blogger.com
