The Homemaker’s Mentor~ Learn Homemaking Skills

This post may contain affiliate links.

I graduated from college with a degree in Home Economics Education. My goal my whole life was to become a Mom. I guess that degree was a perfect preparation for what I do now!  I did get to teach in a public school for a few years before having my kids. So, as you can imagine, homemaking and all things related are something I really love to learn about. I was lucky to have a mom who taught me these skills my whole life, too. I am not perfect & still need lots of work… I know lots of people struggle in many areas of homemaking skills, so I have a fun resource to share with you.  I have been VERY lucky to have the opportunity to review a wonderful resource the past month called the Homemaker’s Mentor. This will help the ones who love all things homemaking as well as those who struggle.

I made a delicious dinner recipe from the collection the other day and my family loved it!  I made Chick-Ka-Bobs. It was an easy dinner fix on a day I was stuck on what to make.

Chicken kabobs

Chick-Ka-Bobs Recipe from the Homemaker’s Mentor Collection:

8 oz. Italian Dressing
1/4 c. soy sauce
1/4 c. Worcestershire Sauce
2 Tbsp Fresh Lemon Juice

Cut up 4 chicken breasts into chunks and marinate it in the sauce for at least 2 hours in the fridge.

Chop any vegetables you like into chunks to go along with it:

Peppers
Onions
Mushrooms
Tomatoes
Pineapple
Zucchini
Any other…

Assemble the chicken and vegetables one skewers to make into kabobs. Bake or grill. If baking cook at @425 for about 20-25 minutes. I served it over rice. It was delicious!

There are many other wonderful recipes that I can’t wait to try.  I am thinking Grandma’s Chocolate Cake might be a good one to try out today!

  1. I have been looking forward to this resource. Over the 11 years of our marriage, I have taught myself basic homekeeping skills. I’d like to teach our daughters those skills before they leave home. This recipe looks delicious!
