Jack and Jill of America member and her daughter Recently, I have become keenly aware that good kids are created by accident. They become good because someone made a concerted effort to pour positive things into them--things like, honor, discipline and respect for others. These qualities are taught through lessons and by observation. For that reason, I have been actively considering how to give my children more examples of people who embody those qualities.  Indeed, raising my children to become good people is my most important job.

Wordless Wednesday (not really): How frozen rice saved dinner...

Dinner made in an electric skillet with Trader Joe's Organic Jasmine Rice
As you can see from the photo below, our kitchen is in disarray because of home renovations. We have been remodeling for going on two years and the kitchen remains unfinished. I have heard a rumor that my life will change this weekend. However, I've been enduring this hardship for so long that I am afraid to hope...

The end product

Coping Without Having a Stove


That said, I have managed to provide my family with healthful meals through planning, ingenuity, and the array of options that are at Trader Joe's. I have to tell you that the frozen Organic Rice pictured below might be one of the best inventions ever. The only ingredient is "organic jasmine rice", you microwave it and it is perfect every single time. It is a time saver and life saver if you have no stove. I might continue to buy it for emergencies after the kitchen is done.

Let me know if you try it!
