(forgot to take a pic of dinner so i thought i'd share some sweet preslie pics)
Last night we had something yummy for dinner. I don't even know what to call this chicken dish, but the recipe is simple. Take a whole chicken seasoned with garlic powder, salt and pep. Stick it in the crock pot and pour a can of cranberries and 1 cup of orange juice over it and let it go. We ate the chicken on top of a green salad. 3/4 kiddos loved, hubby loved.
The best part of dinner last night was joining James at the OAC. I just threw the crock pot and a big bowl of salad in the van and we drove up to church to join Daddy. We try to spend as much time as we can up there helping him and getting to know our community. The older kids watch the younger ones in the nursery if James and I are busy and they take turns helping behind the counter getting exercise room keys for people or ringing up their snacks. We are still figuring it all out, but it is turning into a real family ministry where each of us has his or her part. I love that our kids aren't waiting until they get older to start giving of their time and energy. Our hope is that they will learn a lifestyle of serving and it will just become second nature, so as they grow older giving of themselves will not seem like a chore or a sacrifice, but just a part of who they are.
Back to the QEC....
Here are the rules:
(QEC = quick, easy, cheap)
1)Leave me a comment with a favorite QEC lunch and dinner for your family. QEC = 4 or fewer steps, less than 5 ingredients (for main dish), and $6 or less for a family of 6...healthy is a bonus and gluten free is a double bonus.
2)Either give us the ingredients and prep steps in the comment, or give us a link to your blog with a post about QEC meals.
3)If you have kids, share with us your kids' like to dislike ratio. If you have a Honey,share his/her like or dislike.
i just love baby bellies!
