Family Finance FHE

by

Tonight we are learning about Family finances. We just have a little one so he isn’t quite old enough for this. We’ll just be talking about it and planning some things out and playing a game with him but those of you who have any older kids, this is great to help them learn at a young age to budget and spend their money well.

LDS.org has some great resources for planning out your family finance. We will be going over this pamphlet

One for the Money

I would highly recommend it.

There are also a few other talks that you could read to go along with this

Temporal Wealth and the Kingdom of God

Managing Family Finances: a lesson

Earthly Debts, Heavenly Debts

Constancy Amid Change

They also have a topics page that talks about finance in a great condensed version for those speedier FHE’s

Finances

And now for the printables. These are mostly designed for the One for the Money pamphlet but would go well with any of these.

Scripture Study Journal Printables

by

One of the best ways for me to get a better study of course is to write down what I am learning. It is so easy to just read the scriptures but I notice that when I make the effort to write things down and especially set aside a specific notebook or binder for my scripture study it helps me to stay focused.

I made these printables so that we could improve our scripture study. In the August 2013 there is an article that discusses ways to make family scripture study and personal study better. You can find it here. I patterned these printables off that article. There are different pages depending on how you are studying: topic, guidance, or question. There are also labels so you can sort your pages. I am putting mine in a binder, slipping the cover page in front and then printing off the others as I need them. I also like to alphabetize my topic study pages so they are easy to look back through or add to as I go along studying.

My Baptismal Covenants

by

Here’s some cards to use as bookmarks or as flashcards that will help you memorize or learn “my baptismal covenants. I have also added them as full size 8×10’s. You can get creative or I would use them to show and learn the covenants.

Healthy Whole-Wheat Bread

by

There are few things that can beat the smell of hot bread right out of the oven. I love homemade bread. It tastes delicious. You can eat it hot right out of the oven. It’s real and you know what is in it. Saying that however I’ve definetly had my struggles with making bread. It’s not easy getting it just right. I don’t have a mechanical mixer so I’ve had to knead it by hand. Anyway let’s just say that my bread hasn’t always turned out moist and fluffy. However after numerous adjustments I have found one that I like.

Whole-Wheat Bread Recipe

5 cups warm water
2 eggs
1/2 cup or 1 cube butter
5 cups whole white wheat flour
1 Tbs salt

Mix well for 30-40 seconds then add 3 Tbs SAT instant yeast. mix well. Then add 7 more cups of flour. I added 1 cup at a time and stirred each in before adding the next. Knead dough for at least 5 minutes. use a rolling pin to roll dough out. roll it up, tuck the ends in and put in buttered or sprayed pans. Let raise until doubled. Cook at 350 degrees for 30 min.

Yumm. can you smell that fresh bread now. you’ll want to take the bread out of the pans shortly after coming out of the oven or it will get soggy. Store in plastic bag. i put mine in the freezer or fridge so it lasts longer.

 
slice and butter and enjoy.
 
Just another note: i have to say I am working on a soaked version of this. whole-wheat bread is good for you but soaked whole wheat bread is better. I’ll let you know soon but for now this is still my go-to bread recipe.

Cheesy Cauliflower Stuffed Peppers

by

First off,  I’m not a huge fan of peppers. Or at least I wasn’t until I decided I wanted to lose some weight and needed to start eating more veggies. Once I started eating peppers I came up with all sorts of recipes that were actually pretty good. This one had never really looked appetizing but I must say I loved it. 

In this recipe for stuffed peppers I switched out rice for cauliflower rice. Again upping my veggie intake and decreasing the grains.


Stuffed Peppers Recipe


Ingredients
6 medium colored peppers
1 lb. ground beef (pastured)
2 c. cauliflower
8 oz. tomato sauce
2 c. cheese
1/2 c. onion
1/2 c. green pepper
2 Tbs. lard or tallow
2 Tbs. garlic
1 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. cayenne
1/2 tsp. parsley


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In pan, on stove top blanch peppers for 2 minutes.  In frying pan heat lard until hot, add onions and garlic. In bowl mix meat, parsley, salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, tomato sauce, 1 cup cheese and cooked onion mixture. Mix well. Add cauliflower rice slowly until just before it is no longer sticking together.  Place peppers on cookie sheet or cake pan. Stuff peppers. Cook for 30 minutes. Add cheese to top it off. Cook for an additional 10 minutes.

Enjoy.
