{Menu Mondays} Flaky, Buttery Biscuits
We like bread. And waffles. And pastries. And biscuits. But not just any biscuits. You know those flaky, buttery biscuits that make your mouth water? The kind with the layers that you separate and put jam or butter on when they are still warm from the oven. They are amazing for breakfast, with a yummy […]
{Menu Mondays} Corn Chowder with Sausage
This one makes my mouth water just thinking about it. It’s a great one to make this time of year–even here in Florida where the cold doesn’t bite at your cheeks. Which is very nice of it, actually. Corn chowder! I’ll tell you a secret. My family, all except for Scott, has a real problem […]
{Menu Mondays}
Before you say anything, I know, believe me I know! I have been MIA for quite a while. It’s not like I have a super great excuse like this one. Ready? Because it’s good. The CIA commissioned me for a top-secret, three month mission. I just got back and I would love to tell you […]
Good Friday ~ Crown of Thorns Bread
Teaching the kids about Easter and Holy Week has always proved to be a challenge for me. But this year we had a lot of fun learning about Easter and all the important moments leading up to it. While the Easter bunny can be a fun idea, I feel that Easter is too important to […]
{Recipe} Orange Cranberry Sauce
I will tell you that my most favorite meal is Thanksgiving dinner. Yummy yum yum! I love it and all the leftovers that come along with it. I love mixing it all together and creating fun things like hot open-faced turkey sandwiches smothered with gravy. Which brings me right where I love to be frequently…gravy. […]
{Recipe} Veggie Bake
When I try a new, healthy recipe and it turns out to be a home run, I get so excited! Tonight that was what happened. It turned out to be so good that my kids thanked me all through dinner for making it! I think that’s only ever happened a few times. We all loved […]
{Recipe} Homemade Butter and Buttermilk
One of our favorite books is Little House in the Big Woods. We’re in the middle of the Little House series. The author is very descriptive about different things they did when she was a child. One of the things she describes making with her mother is butter. Since we read that, Chloe and Willow […]
{Recipe} Chocolate Avocado Pudding
My children are wonderful eaters. They eat all kinds of fruits and veggies (without bribery). But when it comes to avocado and sweet potato and zucchini, that’s where they draw the line! However, every so often we receive a few beautiful organic avocados in our fruit basket from the coop. Most people would be overjoyed […]
{Recipe} Perfectly Fudgey Brownies
ATTENTION! I have an extremely important announcement to make! I have uncovered a recipe for the best brownies on the planet. I’m not kidding even a little bit. I am a fan of fudgey brownies (fan is an understatement). If you are planning to hand me a cakey brownie, you can know that the whole […]
Purple Potatoes
A newly discovered (and now family favorite) food in our house is the purple potato! I didn’t even know there was such a food, but turns out there is! And they are delicious. We’re big potato eaters in our house and these have such a fantastic flavor.
