Happy Homemaker Monday

The weather in my neck of the woods: snow, snow, snow, oh did I say snow.  It supposed to reach 35 degrees today!! WOOHOO....heat wave.

One of my simple pleasures: curling up on the couch with a new book.  I love that I'm reading so many great books.  Reviews will be up soon.

On my bed side table: cell phone, books, Bible

On my TV: kids are watching "Martha Speaks" it's a strange show...but teaches the children new words.

On the menu for tonight: homemade mac and cheese

On my to do list: clean, laundry, school for the kids, start working on the music for Easter program.  I'm playing my clarinet in the program again...I did play for Christmas as well.

New Recipe I tried last week: My wonderful husband bought me a new cookbook..."Taste of Home: Comfort Food Diet cookbook.  These are lower calorie and lower fat of your favorite comfort foods!! 

Ham n cheese squares
1-1/2 cups cubed fully cooked ham
1 carton (6 ounces) plain yogurt
1/4 cup crushed saltines (about 6)
1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons caraway seeds
6 eggs

In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In a small bowl, beat eggs until thickened and lemon-colored; fold into ham mixture. Transfer to a greased 8-in. square baking dish.

Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting. 

In the craft basket: scrapbook...a friend is coming over Friday to scrapbook...I can't wait!!

Looking forward to: Friday...see above.

Homemaking tip for this week: keeping your couch and chairs vacuumed will keep them looking new.

Favorite Blog post (mine or another):  I didn't read many blogs.

Favorite Photo from last week:.

Lesson learned the past few days: Serving the Lord comes in many different forms.
