There's a mum feeding a huge troop over at "Feeding the Masses" and I figure I need to find out if she has the same problem as I do and it's not tripling and quadrupling the recipes - its finding a pot large enough to handle that many ingredients. As to containers for the leftovers - I ask what leftovers? I found her through "Beautiful Day "where I like to drop in now and then and watch little Madeleine grow. Beth also lead me to another cooking blog - the "Cookin' Sisters" and can one ever get too many recipes? So I have added them to my links as well.
I have also added Minnesota Mom 'cause I drop in there now and again to see how they are doing in Minnesota. And my one of my teenage daughters' favorite blogs is Far Beyond Pearls an endearing blog about the struggles of raising a large family sans Dad most of the year 'cause he is away, months at a time, serving our country and helping to keep us safe. Currently Dad is home and apparently the baby, Penelope, is having trouble accepting him as part of the family. I don't often fully realize the sacrifices our Military families make as a whole, while the mum or dad are overseas protecting our country; so reading this blog helps me to remember this.
There are so many worthwhile blogs out there and I wish I could list them all - but to be honest I don't have a lot of time to read many blogs as tempting as it is to leap from blog to blog. Hopefully over the next few months I can keep adding more. I am hoping to post more regularly - umm where have you heard that before, eh? But I am trying a little experiment the coming weeks and if it works - you will see more posting. If it doesn't, I will not need to announce its failure as it will be obvious.

Hey! If it's successful, please share! One of my great balancing attempts is getting everything done and getting to read the wonderful blogs out there (like yours!). There's so much inspiration, I don't want to miss anything ~ but, I don't want to spend so much time looking for inspiration, that I miss USING the inspiration. And then, of course, there's always laundry to fit into the equation... Blessings to you!
I´m sorry. I sent the url in a second comment but I see it didn´t arrive.

ps: Did I tell you Lisa that your Rockwell avatar makes a lot of sense in our family?
Christi,
I am a long time reader, first time commenter here. I believe our families went to the same church once upon a time ago in the 1990s in the Raleigh area. If I am not mistaken Aimee and Jenny are about the ages of my two younger brothers.
Anyhow, you mentioned difficulty with multiplying recipes and although I am only one of four and have only been blessed with two children so far, when our extended family comes to call I am in the same "pickle" as it were and I found a great tool. If you are familiar with www.allrecipes.com they have a serving size calculator. You just enter in the number you need to serve and it does the math for you. Very cool. And you can share your own recipes, so if you add one of your own, then you can make adjustments.
I hope life is well in somewhere else, NC!

That is so cool to meet you Kristen. Your name sounds familiar but...
Anyhoo - I LOVE www.recipes.com , how silly of me not to think of adding it as a link. Thanks for the reminder. Now if you come across a website that sells super sized crock pots and soup pots that are both good quality and CHEAP - let me know, eh! I keep wondering if it would make a good side line business, selling restaurant sized pots and pans to large families!
Thanks for dropping by!
