Farmhouse- The Easy Family Dinner We Love
It can be so hard to feed the family in the hot summer months. Sometimes it’s just too hot to cook, sometimes one person goes off with a friend and you have no idea if they will be home for dinner or not, sometimes an extra friend is at the table, and sometimes it’s just […]
Magic Custard Pie- My Latest Favorite Recipe
Have you ever had a recipe that you KNEW would leave zero leftovers? That you could possibly eat in one sitting? This recipe is like that for me. My husband has actually taken the pie server out of my hand before because I had already eaten almost a whole pie! I came across this awhile […]
1931 Gingerbread Muffins– Yummy muffins from a old recipe
My magazine collection is growing, a lot really I may be addicted, and recently I ordered a stack of issues from 1931. One the back of one cover was a Pillsbury ad about how their balanced flour makes large batches easy and talks about making 250 muffins. I was a little afraid of quantity when […]
Make Your Own Hot Cocoa Mix- Easy and with only Three Ingredients!
Do you like hot cocoa? I do. While some people only drink cocoa, or tea, or coffee, or hot cider, I drink them all! I love to get cozy with a hot cup of something. So does my son. My son also loves snow days. He will often be out ALL day on any snow […]
Make a Fun Chocolate Cottage for the Holidays!
I’m going to go on the record and say that I pretty much eat my weight in gingerbread every December. It’s true. I have a family recipe that makes about 500 cookies (seriously, it uses almost 5 pounds of flour) and my family eats it day in and day out, constantly. Three cookies will constitute […]
Easy Pineapple Bacon Dip- Savory and Sweet
I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned before that my family (especially my son and I) eat a LOT of dips. We frequently will have some variety of dip for lunch with chips and veggies or fruit. I always just pull something together and have a pretty good system for always making something pretty good. Recently we […]
Loaded Veggie and Cheese Stuffed Meatballs
When I made these meatballs recently I just knew I HAD to share the recipe with you. They are SO good, and the recipe makes enough to either serve 8 people, OR make some and freeze some! When my husband took some for work people were immediately asking him for where I got the recipe. […]
Weekly Workbasket- August 20
I am much recovered from my mild freak out that I talked about last week, but I have decided on a few things for my life moving forward. Nothing that effects the website here, but just in general about how I’ll be approaching things. I just need to repeat the mantra often that “I can’t […]
Weekly Workbasket- August 6
It’s that time again! Let’s talk about life! Parenting- I don’t usually say to much about parenting, because honestly this blog is to give me something else to think about, talk about, and focus on, BUT this week. I swear my child has not shut up for at least 7 days straight. I locked myself […]
Banana Breakfast Cheesecakes- Easy, Quick, Gluten Free and No Sugar!
I’m trying to get better about eating breakfast and decided to best place to start is by pre-making some things that are easy to grab. I mentioned in my Weekly Workbasket recently that I wanted to work on some freezer meals. One recipe I found on Pinterest really peeked my interest. It has everything we […]
Weekly Workbasket- July 9
That time already? WOW! These weekly workbasket posts really make me see how much time gets away from me, or just how fast it passes in general. It seems like I just typed my first one but here it is several posts later. Last Week: So last week I started a new organization/cleaning method. It’s […]
Weekly Workbasket- July 2
It’s that time again! When I typed my weekly workbasket last week I was 469.2 miles from where I am right now. For once I actually remembered to both set the trip odometer AND read it before driving anywhere else or around town. It has been quite a week. Last Week: Monday we had some […]
Three Ingredient Frozen Strawberry Treat
The June 1952 issue of the Workbasket had a section on using strawberries and one thing that intrigued me was the “Frozen Treat,” so when strawberries went on sale I knew what I was going to make, Frozen Strawberry Treat! It was super easy and my family loved it! Only three ingredients, and SUPER easy […]
