Finding Joy in My Kitchen: Menu Plan

What a fun week it has been! Frog Prince and I just returned from a vacation with our wonderful friends from graduate school. What a treat it was to enjoy God’s beautiful creation together.

We rented a cute cabin and spent lots of time relaxing, hiking and of course, birding.

I had a guessing game going over on my Facebook Page to see who could identify where we went :) Stop by and see!

The recipe highlight from last week (and let me tell you, it was a tough choice) was a new breakfast casserole – made in the crockpot! The recipe is coming soon.

This week, we’re back at things. I have a conference at the end of the week, and I am really looking forward to seeing my colleagues, presenting and talking with researchers trying to figure out the best ways to teach undergraduate biology!
