I will never go back to not having a plan!

Love talked me into trying to organize my grocery shopping and meals into weekly/bi weekly meal plans about 18 months ago and I will never go back! She made me a believer! Before meal planning, what I was going to make for dinner was an ongoing dilemma in my house. I walked around the grocery store aimlessly and went back and forth a few times a week for 1 or 2 ingredients each time spending more and more money. Love taught me how to organize my meals, make an effective plan for getting the items to make each meal and now I spend less time and money at the grocery store. She also helped me to organize my recipes into binders which is a huge help.

When I think of how I used to shop and prepared meals previous to meal planning it seems so disorganized and so much more work."

These Bagels are WORTH THE TIME. Make a double batch and freeze them. Close to NY Bagels. They are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. It is a two day process.

These are a great way to start your morning. Loaded with fruit and whole wheat-you would never know that they were healthy for you.

I like to double this recipe and make two batches to give away.

Double the recipe so that you can enjoy the loaf. My first loaf was so good that it was gone as soon as it came out of the oven. My son said, "Mom I am not saying this because you made it or because you are my mom-but this is the best bread I have ever eaten in my life."

This is the easiest dough to roll out. It has a nice texture and is so easy to work with. It is great on the grill or in the oven.
