With a big family it’s so important to make sure that you prep for the week whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Or maybe even snacks throughout the day.
When my kids were younger, we had to do a lot of these preps just because we are always on the go with the kids and sports, we homeschooled so that took up a lot of our time and we always worked together as a family just to clean the house up and to prepare for the meals. As my kids got older it just seemed more natural to be more organized because we like I said, are busy. We have a chicken farm, we raise horses, we also have a masonry company and now my son Robert has started his own business and two more of my children are talking about taking over the masonry and then Izzy wants to open up her own breakfast restaurant.
I’m just very thankful that my kids did help me with the cleaning and cooking because I tried to do everything myself and I found that I was just exhausted wearing myself out to where I didn’t appreciate being around my family it almost almost seemed like a burden to take care of them. But once I got us organized, and we had a chore board, we took turns cleaning up the kitchen, making meals. It made life a little easier when we all worked together to make our family life more,smooth
And I am a very organized person and so doing things like this is right up my alley for sure and I thought you know what I bet I can make most of this from scratch. So I made the homemade crackers and my cookies added some protein with the cheese and the the sausage. And I have to tell you my kids love them. They were like little kids again. They grab them for snacks. They took them to school. They took them to their work. They ate them as they were at the barn and taking care of the chickens and they were gone in like four days. So I’m definitely thinking I need to buy more of these containers.
The next weekly snack I’m gonna be doing is I’m going to make homemade Ritz crackers with peanut butter in the middle and I’m gonna make homemade vanilla wafers to go with cheese sticks and some more of the sliced or cubed cheese. I didn’t get to make one these last two weeks because I literally was on vacation three times. But now that life is a little more relaxed. I am so excited to be back into my kitchen trying out new recipes and I’m really really into doing a lot of baking and making different treats from scratch.
I did share in my last two lives my from scratch Cheez-It recipes so make sure to check out that live and grab the recipe and then I also have shared my homemade chocolate chip cookies on another live so scroll down and find that one .
