From Scratch...


It's Thursday, and time for another addition of "From Scratch...!". Sorry. I really HAVEN'T been watching too much TV! This week I got a little lazy in the kitchen. Hubby has been working lots of overtime, and I can throw together food for the boys, and they don't much care what it is, as long as their bellies are full. Oh, and as long as they have a "treat" afterwords.

I have actually, as beautiful as the weather has been around here (sunny, and semi-warm...), I have been stuck inside putting finishing touches on my church's Pictorial Directory. This is my first time "designing" a directory, and has been work but it will turn out good! But I have to have it finished by tomorrow, and I'm still waiting for pictures from people. So I will continue to work at it until tomorrow!

This week in the kitchen, like I said, not much accomplished. Bad mother? No. All of us have off-weeks, and that's alright. We can't be Martha Stewart's cooking staff EVERY day... (Hubby says Martha doesn't do anything, it's all her staff, which I can't argue with!) So, don't feel like you have failed if you had a crazy week. Just keep pluggin away, and try harder the following week. Which I hope to do!

Here are the few things I accomplished this week:

  • Grandmother Bread! :)
  • Baked Oatmeal
  • Strawberry Shortcake (made with frozen strawberries and our homemade yellow cake mix. Thanks for the idea Megan!)
  • Tortillas (actually, this is today's project. So I can't lie and say I already did it. But today is the day!)
That's it!

So, how did YOU do this week? Please share in the comments or by linking up!
