Welcome to Sabbath-Prep Saturday, where we meet to share tips on how to make the sabbath what it should be - a more relaxing, enjoyable day to spend with our families and worship God.

Small appliances you'll need for advanced prep:
-Two crockpots (Okay, I know you're thinking this is a bit over the top, but there are just so many main dishes, side dishes and desserts that can be made in a crockpot and you don't want to be caught empty-handed!
-Bread machine (My bread machine has been indispensible as I've prepared meals for my family in advance. You can set it to have the loaf baked at a certain time, even at 6:00 in the morning, having the machine work while you sleep. It's a must have!)

Prep Method:
Saturday:
1. Make sure you have all ingredients. You wouldn't want to break the sabbath in your attempt to improve the sabbath, now would you.
2. Make the cake balls.
3. Cut any fresh vegetables in advance in preparation for the tossed salad. Some vegetables don't do well cut in advance, like tomatoes or lettuce, but carrots, broccoli and cucumbers will do just fine.

Sunday Morning:
1. Place frozen or fresh chicken in crockpot, smother it with your favorite bar-b-que sauce and set the crockpot to high.
2. Place creamed corn ingredients in the other crockpot. Follow recipe instructions.
3. Add ingredients to your bread machine and set the timer for the bread to be finished 15 mintues after you arrive home from church. Technically, this step could also be done on Saturday night if you think you'll be short of time on Sunday morning. Imagine that...short of time on Sunday morning....pshaw!

Sunday After Church:
1. Throw together the tossed salad.
2. Set the table.
3. Take the bread out of the machine and baste with butter if desired.
4. Serve your meal.
