Run, run, as fast as you can…
Once I got home from practice I found the 12 qt stockpot FULL of bread dough PLUS another small bowl full. Seems that Robert gave it a hair cut every time it oozed out enough.
It being 10:00 at night I quickly smooshed it down then divided into my four […]
Little Missey had lunch & a nap so on to the second “new” recipe–the four yo one. The directions have everything mixed in a roasting pan or a large stock pot. It seemed easier to mix in a roaster so that is what we did.
Mixing the flour, sugar, salt, and shortening together until it looks […]
We love homemade bread but the bread machine cannot quite keep up with the demand. So once upon a time I was inspired to google ‘no knead bread’ recipes and found a recipe that looked interesting–4 years ago and no bread. More recently Amy had a side link to an artisan bread that also looked inspiring. Today is bread day. […]
Here’s that cheesy chicken recipe I promised so long ago. Remember that I’m not posting definite amounts as it is another very forgiving recipe and I highly doubt that you would begin with “take ten pounds of chicken leg quarters”. HOWEVER: this is a several days recipe/menu so do make plenty.

One of the best dessert recipes in my collection is Pumpkin Cake. I found the direction amongst the “clutter free gift ideas” at the flylady website.

One of the best stories is the turnip story. At […]
After reading Anna and her pumpkin fun I was reminded about our families fun with vegetables. *Note this happened about 10 years ago.
This wanting to grow my own and be prepared has been a part of my for as long as I can remember. Perhaps it was all the Little House books. Perhaps it was […]
Since Little Missey first made her existence known I’ve been on a cheesy goodness quest. Melted cheese…so good…so friendly…so much easier on the brain than most anything else in life. The weather has cooled and melted cheese once again calls. Last night it was soup: Potato Broccoli Cheese Soup.
This is for a family of 8 with […]
This is my 15 yo son’s masterpiece. He had made it several times for home but once he made it for church birthday night his reputation was made. The old ladies at church brag about him whenever he makes this cake. I tell him that if the old ladies at church think its good then it is a real […]
