{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. […]
It’s Alive! My new friend, Kefir
There is a new and delicious friend in our house. It goes by the name of Kefir. Kefir, if you are unfamiliar, is a probiotic. While they are sold in the stores in the form of pills and smoothies, none are as potent as what you can grow on your own.
{Recipe} Homemade Deodorant
I found a fantastic recipe for deodorant. It’s very simple and works great! If you’ve made deodorant then you know just how easy and fun it can be. My favorite part about making this is that I know what ingredients are in it and none of them include chemicals! We have gotten away from deodorants […]
{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 […]
take one Lime and call me in the morning
I’ve had a headache for 3 days–3 days during VBS week at our church. Yikes! Today I was feeling like enough was enough of this crazy headache. And for some reason today it was exponentially worse. Ugggh! I’ve taken some pain killers to get rid of it, but nothing has worked yet. I’ve also tried […]
{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 […]
{Recipe} Sweet Potato Muffins
As I mentioned before, we are involved in a produce coop where we are blessed with many delicious fruits and veggies. Not all of them are winners with my girls. They have their preferences and as many ways as I’ve tried to cook and bake them, sweet potatoes have never made the list. Today our […]
{Recipe} Chocolate Sauce
I’ve been wanting to try a recipe for chocolate sauce for some time and after tonight’s dessert, I’m so glad I finally did! I looked online for a good recipe. I found one that turned out nice and thick and super chocolatey–maybe even a little too chocolatey (if that’s possible).
