Sunday...

Today was a really different day. Because it is New Year's day we were up late last night and slept in. Only one service today (with Rev. Cody Marks!!!) at 2:00. So our normal 3 meals are thrown out the window today. I normally try to keep everyone on a pretty regular schedule of meals...breakfast, lunch and dinner at regular times...and an afternoon snack for the girls when Julia gets home.

As far as today's meals go:

This morning I got up around 11. I know! I know! I cannot remember the last time I lay in bed that late! I was cruising Instagram on my phone and checking email, writing down some resolutions...just kicking back and enjoying the morning. Everyone else was still in bed...no pressure.

I decided that pancakes sounded good. Did not jive with my "eat more healthfully" resolution. White flour, white sugar, HFCS in the syrup. Decided today was a holiday. Made the pancakes. 

Before I left for service this afternoon I put several thick-cut pork chops (part of the pig we butchered in the fall) and some potatoes into my Dutch oven and put it in the oven at 200 degrees. This baked merrily all by itself until I got home and made a green salad.

One of my personal resolutions is to eat less meat this year. Mostly because I feel better when I follow a plant-based diet. Organically raised, home-butchered meat is probably my best meat option, but I still chose to forgo the meat. Everyone else enjoyed it very much.

David doesn't go back to work till Tuesday, so tomorrow will be another atypical day. We'll see what unfolds!

Recap:

Breakfast: Pancakes

Dinner: Pork Chops, Potatoes and Green Salad with homemade ranch (and I don't mean from a package!) 
