Mother's Day Souffle
Ingredients
1 loaf natural white bread
2 cups grated cheese
Ham or bacon bits to taste
12 eggs
1/2 cup milk
Seasonings if desired

Directions
This Mother's Day the idea is not only to give mother breakfast in bed, but also to feed the rest of the family so she can stay in bed! This dish can be prepared the night before and placed in the refrigerator. Cut crusts off of bread. Grease a 9x13 inch pan. Place one layer of bread on bottom of pan. Top with cheese and meat. As if making a sandwich, put remaining bread on top. Mix eggs, milk, and any seasoning in a bowl. Pour over top. When ready to bake, put into a preheated 350 F oven for 1 hour, or until top is puffy and brown. Serve with fruit salad. You can add other ingredients in-between bread, be creative and experiment!

Yield: 8 to 10 servings.

It Really Works!!!

I attended one of the Families Together webinars. It was entitled “Sensory Integration”. One of the things that Chris Curry (the presenter) talked about was how to get your child to remember things. This really interested me because one of my children has a real problem in this area. We (her Dad and I) got her a cell phone a year ago and have been struggling with how to get her to remember to take it with her in the mornings. Absolutely nothing has worked. Well, Chris talked about having you child look at something and picture what you want them to remember. This can be different for different kids and for different ages.
When I got home from work the evening after the webinar, my husband was having one of the many conversations we have had over the last year, about the importance of her remembering her cell phone. Apparently he had tried calling her that day and she did not have her phone with her. What a golden opportunity for me to try what I had learned that very day!! I told her to look at our front door and to picture her cell phone right on the door. I asked her 3 times that evening what she saw when she looked at the door and she would respond with “cell phone”. It has been over a week now and she has not forgotten her cell phone since! I am amazed. My husband was skeptical and wanted to put a note on the door, but I asked him to just let us see how this worked. He is even amazed.
Thank-you so much Families Together and Chris Curry, definitely worth the $10.00 fee for the webinar!!
