Favorite Mother’s Day Breakfast Recipes

Each Mother’s Day, I’ve been blessed to have my hubby and boys bring me breakfast in bed. Of course, this sweet gesture always makes a mom feel cherished, and so it’s a tradition that truly means so much to me, and to them as well.

That’s why I’d like to encourage more husbands and kids to honor their wives and mamas with Breakfast in Bed. So, if your hubby and kiddos are looking for some ideas to “surprise” you, why not share this post?

I’ve put together six quick-n-easy breakfast in bed recipes – believe me, if my guys can do it anyone can! And … these recipes are also wonderful for hosting a delightful Mother’s Day Breakfast or Brunch with extended family and friends – another great way to celebrate this special holiday!

Tips for Building & Organizing Your Own eBook Library

By Kelly · 4 Comments

Building an eLibrary is easy when you take advantage of eBook bundle sales. The benefits of eBooks are that they’re generally more economical than traditional printed books, are easily stored and transportable, and they can be printed in their entirety or in portions. (For example, printing out a recipe from an eBook and placing it in your recipe keeper.)

Yet, if you’re like me, you may have downloaded many an eBook and it’s floating around somewhere in your downloads folder or worse yet, cluttering up your computer desktop. The good news is I’ve found a simple way to organize my eBooks thanks to the inspiration of a few friends. Their suggestion … create a library-style filing system for your eBooks, so here’s what I did. And can I just say, “whew!” It’s so incredibly wonderful to have all of my eBooks now organized in easy-to-reference folders on my computer!

Five Simple Steps for Creating an eLibrary:

1. Create a folder called “eBooks” and place it in a logical place on your computer.

2. Within your eBooks folder, create separate folders based on topics. For instance, I have folders for: Godly Womanhood, Homemaking, Cookbooks, Parenting, etc. Just be sure to select titles that make sense to you and represent the various categories of books you’ll be filing.

3. If necessary, create subfolders within your topic folders. For example, since I have a wide variety of eCookbooks, I’ve created subfolders to help me better organize them by category.

4. Once you have your folders set-up, move any eBooks you already have into your new electronic library filing system. Then, as you purchase new eBooks, simply download the eBooks directly into the appropriate topic folder. Now you can easily locate your eBooks and enjoy their many benefits without the stress of having to search all over your hard drive for them.

5. Finally, be sure to back-up your eBook collection (to a flash drive or other external source), just incase! In fact, backing up your hard drive is a very important habit to get into to protect all of the important files on your computer. Regular back-ups will ensure you don’t lose anything in the event of a major crash, computer virus attack, etc.

So whether or not you have one eBook or one hundred, having a library-style system in place to easily store and locate your collection, will really help save time, and also help you to protect your investment! (And if you’ve organized your eBooks and have some tips to share, we’d love to hear them!)

Meal Plan Monday: April 29 – May 12

By Kelly · 4 Comments

In a quest to make mealtimes more fun, we enjoy bringing a little pizzazz to the table, like Backwards Dinner Night – a fun and whimsical way to do dinner in reverse! This is just one of three fun themed dinners featured in this week’s meal plan.

One of my favorite ministries is serving as the Meal Planning Contributor for The Better Mom, where I share my bi-weekly real food meal plans as a way to help inspire and encourage others. Each bi-weekly meal plan includes what’s on the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as links to more than 40 of the delicious real food recipes featured.

Why is this called “Meal Plan Monday,” when it’s posted on Saturday? I thought it would be nice to give you the heads-up about what’s on the menu for the week ahead. That way, you have time to take advantage of incorporating some (or all) of the meals featured, if you’d like. Remember: To view the recipe links for each of the meal plans below, please pop on over to The Better Mom.

So … without further ado … here’s what’s on the menu for the next two weeks at The Nourishing Home. Again, you can find each of the recipe links over at  The Better Mom.

P.S. I’ve provided free links, so you can download the new Meal Plan Template for your own personal use.
