A number of years ago my sister gave me a Bodum Brazil French Press Coffee maker as a Christmas present. I didn’t end up using it right away and then it got packed away for a move and consequently ended up in storage for a few years. After one more move and the unpacking of … Continue reading
After being stuck in the car for 12 hours the other day while traveling back from our family Thanksgiving a few states away we were ready for some real food, not just the junk that you eat while on the road. {Note: the trip should have taken only 8 hours and 15 minutes. I guess … Continue reading
Today I am talking about chicken. Not just chicken, but preserving chicken by pressure canning. That’s right…storing chicken in your pantry! I am assuming that most people who aren’t familiar with pressure canning meat had the same reaction that I have had in the past: maybe you cringed? Gagged perhaps? I understand. A little … Continue reading
I am not sure why I was amazed to see two of my children come inside from the backyard the other day with a bowl full of ripe cherries. I know there are cherry trees back there, and I realize that it is summer…the two kind of go hand-in-hand! I guess in my head, it … Continue reading

In the past I have posted my recipe for a Whole Wheat Pancake Mix. Since we have been trying to cook and bake things gluten-free lately, I decided to whip up a batch of Gluten-Free Pancake and Waffle Mix to have on hand for some easy, gluten-free breakfasts! I recently wrote a post highlighting the … Continue reading
The recipe that I am sharing with you today actually resulted from a variety of things that we needed to use up in the fridge. Week old Thai basil. Even older leeks…not even going to mention how much older. Freshly picked broccoli. Half of a can of coconut milk, being stored in a container from … Continue reading
I have wanted a waffle iron for years, but just haven’t ever purchased one. At one of the Christmas parties we attended this year, we participated in a white-elephant gift exchange. My husband scored a waffle iron for his gift and I was super excited about it. I have made waffles a few times since … Continue reading
