This idea would come under the categories of both “frugal” and “green”. I am not a big fan of plastic water bottles (both disposable and reusable). I tried a stainless steel bottle and the water always tasted bad to me. So when a friend recommended using empty Snapple bottles as water bottles, I gave it [...]
I know, I know, it has been a long time since I have blogged. I didn’t start out taking a blogging break but somehow, I got out of the habit of posting. So anyway, for those couple of you who might still check this site, I thought I’d write a post about what [...]
I really am feeling a lack of success today, so I probably need to write this list more than ever.
My Small Successes for this past week:
1- I ground up a whole bunch of whole wheat this morning with my grain mill. I have been a total slug with baking for my [...]
I saw this over at Ten kids and a dog and thought that it would be great for lifting my spirits during these dark, cold days of winter. Thanks Joann!!! You can check out more over at Faith & Family Live!
Here’s my list:
1- Getting back on track with formal school work this week [...]
This afternoon, “the Littles” (Lily and Peter) and I had some fun in the kitchen making Cranberry Apple Muffins. This is a new recipe for me that I found at allrecipes.com through a google search. I modified the recipe with Whole wheat flour (hard white wheat) and sucanat (a type of raw [...]
Yesterday we had a fun afternoon picking over-priced apples (3 bushels worth) to make lots of homemade applesauce. Yum!!!
Peter helping Dad with the first batch of applesauce…
Who doesn’t enjoy a nice meal at dinner time? I can’t think of anyone!!! I’ve rediscovered my crock-pot recently. Getting dinner on the table had become a real chore of late. I was bored with my menus and uninspired to change things up. Then I stumbled onto Fix-It and Forget-It Cookbook: Feasting with Your Slow [...]
We found a great recipe at Heavenlyhomemakers.com for Onion rings made with Whole Wheat flour. We have made them twice and they were a big hit in our household. The recipe is simple and very tasty. Thank you Laura!!!
I’ll admit it. I have never much liked cooking. My signature dish has always been my famous Chocolate Chip cookies. That being said, over the last six months, I have been trying to expand my dinner repetoire. My foray into more “cooking from scratch” was born mostly out of my desire to lower my grocery [...]
Well I did indeed have a busy day in the kitchen.
1- I ground my own whole wheat flour (this is new to us – I just purchased a Nutrimill from the Country Baker). It is amazing how much better the freshly ground flour tastes in my homemade bread – which leads [...]

St. Gertrude’s Prayer Eternal Father, I offer thee the most precious blood of thy divine son, Jesus, in union with the masses said throughout the world today, for all the holy souls in purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal church, those in my own home and within my family. Amen.
