Does the idea of making homemade pie dough intimidate you? I understand… I have been there. Having a dry, crumbling apart crust that falls apart before you even get it in your pan, or an overly sticky dough that, when rolled out, ends up a holey, sticky mess is very, very disappointing. Very. Disappointing enough that you … Continue reading
Tonight my daughter and I had a butter making contest. The contest was her idea. She decided that whoever made the best tasting butter would get an extra bowl of ice cream! Not a bad prize (like mother, like daughter I’m afraid!) 🙂 The whole reason we decided to make butter was because my husband … Continue reading
If you are looking for a great dinner roll recipe…look no further! This dinner roll recipe is a variation of my Honey Wheat Bread recipe (that I will have to post at a later date). I normally make my bread with 100% whole wheat flour (I prefer hard white spring wheat to red wheat and … Continue reading
Today’s post is a super doctored up version of cream corn. If you normally have cream corn, or just plain old corn, as a holiday side dish why not add my recipe of Savory Cream Corn to your menu this Thanksgiving or Christmas? It usually ends up on our table for most holiday or family … Continue reading

After realizing my father-in-law had done a self fix on his Bosch mixer kneading attachment, I opted to knead the dough by hand so as to avoid … Continue reading
Oatmeal Applesauce Muffins….Whole Wheat Applesauce Muffins….yum! These muffins are a regular item for breakfast (and then later in the day snacks) at our house. These slightly sweet, whole grain muffins fill up your tummy and leave you satisfied, without feeling *too* guilty! My whole family digs into these and usually we are all wishing for more … Continue reading
I wasn’t quite sure what to name tonight’s meal. It was sort of a hodge podge, throw together meal with ingredients that I had in the freezer and cupbard. But what turned out (Beef Corn and Broccoli Cornbread Pot Pie…kind of a long name AND “Beef’ sounded somehow more sophisticated than ‘Hamburger’ in the title) was a … Continue reading
Last night, as I was starting to think about what I could make for dinner my children started asking me, “Mom, what’s for dinner?! I’m hungry! Can we have sloppy joes mom?” Sloppy Joes. I couldn’t tell you the last time that I made them. It just isn’t something that I normally make. I don’t … Continue reading
When my youngest daughter was about 10 months old she was diagnosed with dairy and egg allergies. Our other children had never had to deal with any allergy issues so this was a whole new world we were going to have to try to figure out. Over the next few years, I learned quite a … Continue reading
