Come Follow Me Week 10: Compassionate Detours Printable

By Leave a Comment

I was preparing a home lesson  (Come Follow Me, Week 10, Matthew 8-9, Mark 2-5) for my family and stumbled upon the idea of compassionate detours from a Don’t Miss This video (around minute 5:40). In short, it talks about following the example of our Savior always having compassion on those around Him. Taking the time to minister to them no matter what he may have had planned for that day. David and Emily from Don’t Miss This talk about taking the time for compassionate detours in our day. Being aware of and helping those around us. Listen to it, it’s fantastic.

Anyway, I wanted a visual reminder to hang in our home. Something reminding of the concept of compassionate detours and making room in our days for these opportunities. I figured you might like it as well so decided to share it here.

So many great lessons about miracles performed by Jesus are found in Come Follow Me week 10. This program has been a huge blessing in our lives though with four kiddos has not been without it’s struggles. I do see them picking up little golden nuggets so it makes it all worth it! I am teaching my extended family this Sunday so I am so thankful for so many awesome resources for different age groups. We will have ages 2-78.

There is another printable from Hey Friend referencing the Don’t Miss this Video I totally plan on using. It refers to the question “What Would Jesus Do?” and answer “He Would Love First.” She shares so many great printable and lot of links to songs, videos, etc!

I hope you enjoy Come Follow Me home study this week and drop me a line if you use the printable!

Take a look at our other printables inspired by our Savior Jesus Christ.

Pizzadilla: 3 minute lunch for kids

By Leave a Comment

Do you ever have one of those days where you just can’t? This Pizzadilla recipe is for you. You know, for the days when you’re knee deep in laundry, the kids have lined up every matchbox car throughout the entire house and the school drop off monitor gave you the eye because your car was only halfway in the yellow area when you let the kids out of the car. At least you are wearing your nice pajamas today.

Don’t worry! I’ve got you! The Pizzadilla is the easiest lunch and get this, my kids request it! Crowd pleaser, mom pleaser, it’s a win-win. And I’m not even sure it needs to be called a recipe, it is literally that simple. Really, most kids can probably do it themselves or at least help with the process.

Pizzadilla: 3 minute lunch

Combine two kid favorites: pizza and quesadillas

Course Appetizer, Snack
Keyword Kids, Lunch, Pizza, Quesadilla, Snack
Prep Time 1 minute
Total Time 3 minutes
Servings 1 Quesadilla

Ingredients

  • 1/4 Cup Shredded Cheddar
  • 1/4 Cup Shredded Mozzarella
  • 6 Pepperoni Slices
  • 2 Soft Taco sized Flour Tortillas
  • Marinara Sauce for dipping (optional)

Instructions

  1. Lay down one tortilla. 

  2. Spread cheddar evenly over tortilla.

  3. Place pepperoni slices evenly over cheddar.

  4.  Spread mozzarella evenly over pepperoni.

  5. Place second tortilla on top. 

  6. For crispy tortilla, warm each side for 1-2 minutes in a heated frying pan sprayed with cooking oil. 

  7. Speed method: Microwave on a plate for 30 seconds each side.

Remember, if you dip them in Marinara you have your vegetable side. lol That’s a lot of food groups packed in one little triangle. Admittedly, I usually serve them with baby carrots or apple slices on the side since I can get those on the plate while the Pizzadilla is cooking.

On Weekends, I like to have my older kids help with meals so they can learn to prep easy items. You know, so they don’t go off to college not knowing how to boil water or use a microwave (true story of my sister’s roommate). A Pizzadilla is a lunch that I can easily have them whip up for their younger siblings while I run to the store or hide in the pantry and eat chocolate. Truly, I don’t mind eating them on occasion when we are in a hurry.

Try out a Pizzadilla and let me know what you think! What other combos can you think of to melt between two tortillas? How about bacon, havarti, and spinach for an adult version?!

Peanut Butter Oreo Rice Krispie Treats

By 1 Comment

Each Sunday we have family movie night and I whip up a special treat to share. Peanut Butter Oreo Rice Krispie Treats was the result of one of these sugary sweet experiments. We have some favorites that we make often, but every once in a while we go a little wild and invent something new.  We love Oreos dipped in peanut butter, but that is a messy treat to take down to the theater room with little ones so mixing them with a handheld treat was the perfect solution!

The best part is they are so easy! You can whip them up in a matter of minutes. Just use your standard Krispie treat recipe, but replace a cup of the cereal with a cup of crushed Oreos and add in a scoop of peanut butter. Adding peanut butter adds protein which makes them a better snack, right? Ha!
