Menu Plan Monday

For the past two months, we have gotten food from Angel Food Ministries. I saw people talk about it on Works For Me Wednesday and then I started hearing ads about it on our local radio. So, we decided to start buying every month. I have only tried one thing that I really did not like. You can get the food no matter what your income. Rich people even buy from this program. This week, I am using some of the items from this program and you will see those things in red if I use something in that recipe from AF. I think you will see I am using a lot from the program. You might want to check around for a site close to you. You buy a monthly box for $25 and it is valued at $50-$75 and you also qualify for specials. Also I do themes with my 2 year old twins and some of our snacks and one breakfast come from our teddy bear theme.

Now cut one of the halves into 2 pieces and make round balls with the dough and firmly press to top of head to make ears. With the other half, form round or oval shape for the nose. Press in raisins or chips for eyes and nose. Add 1/4 maraschino cherry to each ear. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on to give him the brown look and a cinnamon roll taste. Bake on a cookie sheet for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees until golden brown. Enjoy with honey - a bears favorite treat!!!
