This week I am excited to make the homemade pop tarts. Before we started eating very healthy I always had pop tarts in the house. I use to think that they made a fast breakfast or a great snack for me. No More!!!! I found a recipe that looks good and I am going to try it. I will do a post later this week showing me making them and I will share the recipe with you all.

I pray that all of you will have a great week, and walk closely with the Lord.

Supper at Grandma and Papa's house

I wanted to let you know one of my secrets to stretching my food budget. When I buy chicken, it is a whole chicken from Whole Foods. It costs between eight and nine dollars. It is a higher price, but I am getting four meals out of it. The first meal is the roasted chicken, second is the white chicken chili, third is the sweet and sour chicken, then I make bone broth from the chicken bones. With one batch of my homemade bone broth I can make two soup recipes.

Menu Plan for The Week

On Saturdays you will notice a new weekly post here at The Best Life Lived. I will be posting my weekly family menu. Planning out our menu weekly, I believe, saves me both time and money! If you do not already do this at your house, I strongly urge you to start this week. I have linked several dishes to the recipes that I like using. Enjoy!!
