I’m excited that we have a couple weeks at home! That means I get to cook for us, which requires planning ahead. I’m going to go for some good protein and low fat meals. I have gone to my Pinterest boards and pulled some new recipes to try. Healthy and delicious, is my goal! If you need some inspiration for your menus this week, check below for some scrumptious suggestions!

How to Cultivate a Grateful Heart in Today’s Youth
Thank you. Two powerful little words that mean so much to the hearer. Recently on Instagram, a gentleman posted this:
I’ve been living with Gen Z-er’s the last couple of years and I love these guys, they’re super guys, but there’s a generational weakness – and one of those is the expression of gratitude – saying thank you and writing thank you notes when people do you good.

Managing Your Laundry
I’m half way through the day and I have done two loads of laundry, ironed linens and put them away, and also pressed our clothes for the weekend. Then I got brave and peeked into the clothes hampers in our closets. I saw more dirty clothes wadded and waiting for the the Laundry Lady (that’s me!) to rescue them from the basket and repeat the process of my earlier hours.
Flavorful Baked Chicken Fajitas Ready in 25 Minutes
I’m reposting an old recipe that is great when you need a delicious meal in a hurry. We love Mexican foods, and this dish is full of the kind of flavors we enjoy, plus it is very fast to make and is also a great do-ahead dish! That alone makes it a perfect pick for a busy day!
Typically, fajita meats are grilled, which gives them great flavor, but for a meal that needs to be on the table quickly, it’s not always the best way to go. I found this recipe on Chef in Training‘s web site (this is a great site!). She found it on another site…and so on and so on! There’s nothing new under the sun, but we must give credit where credit is due! =)

Elevate Ordinary Days with Meaningful Connections
We’ve had a little time at home in between our meetings and we’ve stayed busy! But it wasn’t just busy for the sake of being busy. As I look back on the week, I see a definite theme.
I got to meet up and have lunch with my sweet friend. Days might be full, but we all need to make time for fellowship and friendship. I recently heard a message by Chuck Swindoll and he said,
“We come into church like marbles instead of grapes!”
In other words, we don’t let our lives mesh with others. I’m thankful for my grape friend who helps me not be a marble! Our time together enable us to connect far better than sending a text message! It was up close, personal and meaningful.
