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 [...]

My name is Heather and I have been the help meet to my wonderful husband, Len, for 22 years. Our children are Hope (19), Lenny (15), Lily (11), Wren (Born to heaven, 10/02), Mary (Born to heaven, 9/03), Lucy (Born to heaven, Early '04), and Peter (6). Six doggies round out our happy brood. |
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 [...] |
