{Recipe} Bacon and Sausage Spaghetti Squash Alfredo

I don’t want to sound over dramatic here, but this recipe is amazing!  AMAZING!  As I was paying for groceries one day, the cashier commented on the spaghetti squash I was buying.  She said, “Oh, are you going to eat this with bacon?”  I wasn’t, but then my mind started working.  Working on something delicious…

{Recipe} Alfredo Sauce

Despite our dairy allergies, this Alfredo sauce receives a unanimous thumbs up in our house.  So, here’s a fantastic recipe for you.

Breakfast

Very early in the morning, when many kids are still asleep, mine are creeping quietly around the house.  I am woken by whispers and the occasional clanking of dishes.  And then, a little face will whisper ever so closely to mine, “Mama, come out and see.” And in the still of the morning, I come out […]

Popcorn Harvest

This year we planted popcorn.  I have always wanted to plant popcorn and because of it’s location in the garden, the chickens left it alone….one of the only things they left alone.  Last week we harvested the corn.  We didn’t have many ears and they didn’t get very big, but that didn’t matter to us.

{Menu Mondays} Extracts

Here is something special to add to your pantry.  I’m sure you have some great extracts–vanilla, lemon, peppermint, or your other favorites.  But the very best extracts are those you make yourself!  And how easy they are to make!

Dessert Stand

The fleeting moments of childhood are everywhere I turn.  Yesterday they came in the form of a dessert stand after dinner.  Usually even before I’ve finished chewing my first bite the ever tormenting question comes flying at me from one of my sweets-loving children, “What’s for dessert?”  I wish I always had one ready.  I […]

{Menu Mondays} Chicken Fajita Skillet

This is one of those dishes that makes my hubby happy to come to the table.  When I make soup with bone broth or when I put salad on the table, I don’t get nearly as many “Ooohs” and “Ahhhs” as I do when I put this on the table.  It’s one of his favorites. […]

{Menu Mondays} Peanut Butter

Today was a “from scratch” kind of day.  We spent several hours in the kitchen making lots of yummy things for our family.  And one of the things we made was peanut butter!  We had lots of fun snacking on peanuts and licking spoons as the smell of peanut butter filled the room.

{Menu Mondays} Beef Stroganoff

Beef stroganoff is a favorite in our house.  We don’t have it very often because it does contain dairy….mmm…And sadly, most of us do not do well with dairy.  But every so often we down that creamy, delicious goodness and suffer through the next day with the remembrance of those savory bites, making it well worth […]

{Menu Mondays} Steak Roll Ups

This entre is oh so delicious!  I am going to show you how I made these steak roll ups and tell you how to make them extra yummy!  Because, as this was my first round, I found ways that would make this much better.
