Recipes from Around the World!

October 8th, 2007

So - if you frequent this blog you know our family has been working on living more life with less stuff.  It has been a very restful process if that makes since.  We have also been working hard with our children on eating what ever is put in front of them without whining or complaining and I will say after a few months of this, our children usually eat what ever I serve.  We still have to say 3 more bites of this or  that but we are light years from where we were a few months ago.  The other day someone saw our children’s plates and said “They eat salad?”  and I said “Yes, they do!” and almost did a happy dance.

So I have found 2 great resources that I will be checking into to help broaden our pallets so to speak.

Extending the Table: A World Community Cookbook

More-With-Less Cookbook

They are both written form the Mennonite perspective which I highly respect so I am cautiously excited. I also have been looking for cost effective ways to feed tons of people.  One thing that has been important to our church family is eating together.  Are there ways to do it without spending tons of money to do it:-) and still have it be healthy and nutritious and balanced? That has been the question.  

If any of you have these or have used this books, let me know what you think and what you have liked etc.

Peace to all~
