And I’ve found, that with a growing family, adding in as many bread products as I can, helps not only with cost but in keeping those bellies full without sacrificing health. IDEAS: English muffins, butter, and eggs for breakfast Ezekiel Waffles for breakfast Bean, egg, and cheese breakfast burritos for breakfast Making 4 sandwich loaves a week: PB&J Grilled Cheese Toast on the side with raw butter Dinners: Easy artisan loaves with dinners Homemade tortillas Herb & Cheese muffins with dinner, etc. Getting back to making my own pantry staples. Homemade cleaning items again. I’ve started first with laundry detergent and dishwasher detergent. Growing & Preserving more of my own food. This might be limited a bit this year, but working on it none the less Much more consistent meal plans. I’d like to develop four weeks of rotating meal plans for each season!
