Try out Grandma Eva’s Peanut Brittle Recipe, it’s so yummy! I’ve added a few more recipes to my recipe blog. And for a little healthier touch to your delectible Chicken Noodle Soup, try out my Whole Wheat Egg Noodles, they are lots of fun! By the way, I don’t know if I mentioned that I […]

Sorry to keep you all waiting, and drooling all over your keyboards, but you know I’m busy so it took a little longer to get back to my recipe than I hoped :) We had a little girl (the older one) throwing up on the way home from our Reformation Day Celebration. So, without further […]

A litte peak at our little helper, she’s such a hard worker! I think she’s going to be an amazing helper in the family when she has a little better coordination and a little better self control :)

It’s been awhile since I posted links to my latest recipes so, here they are!
It’s been getting colder and we are always up for a hearty Pot Roast with Vegetables when it’s cold.

You might have a side salad with a very tasty Blackberry Salad Dressing.

And for dessert some delicious, semi-healthy, Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies. […]

My friend Rana came over yesterday with her two kids. They mostly played while we worked, but Aidan did help a little :) She was so nice to offer to come help me, she pounded some nails for me and also held up the siding while I drilled it in. And I should mention she’s […]

The other day I made these Chicken Enchiladas, now whenever I ask Chris what he wants for breakfast, lunch or dinner he says, enchiladas! I always love it when my husband loves what I make for dinner, this one was a hit! It’s getting colder and Lentil Vegetable Soup sounded so good, with some warm […]

I’ve posted a few more recipes this week and like I’ve said before, there are always more to come! Pick those apples and make some yummy Crock Pot Applesauce, a recipe to make Dehydrated Crispy Almonds (an alternative to roasted almonds), and a fun summer favorite, Chicken Caesar Salad Wraps. After all that cooking you […]

Yesterday marks the beginning of a small experiment. I decided after several mediations between the boys that I would put all their toys away for a season. They fight way too easily and I’m having a hard time helping them with their attitude when they go from toy to toy to toy always seeming to […]

Here is a close-up of Caitriona’s quilt I started last week. I’m learning a lot as I go and my neighbor who’s been sewing for many years more than I is teaching me some things, isn’t it great how the Lord puts people in our lives to help us grow? I love it.

Here is a […]

I know there are a lot of people checking our website every day simply because they want to know if we have had the baby yet :) Thank you for not calling (although most of you don’t have my phone number)to ask “so has labor started yet?” I don’t know if you’ve ever experienced that […]

We’ve been dreaming of owning a computer hutch again, this weekend we purchased a computer hutch at IKEA. And to our delight it is actually made out of wood instead of particle board! We’re moving up in life :) This hutch is going to work wonderfully for our small living room. It’s narrow and not […]

I finished two sewing projects today! I made a curtain for our bedroom (I realized the other day that I am going to be laboring in our bedroom and someone will be taking pictures before/after the birth and I have a sheet covering our window! How unromantic! No more sheet, but I do need to […]

Homemade “Cream Cheese” or cheese spread
Originally uploaded by Chris and Jenni.
This is really simple to make. I just put a quart of plain organic whole milk yogurt in a strainer lined with cheese cloth and let it sit over night. All the juice runs out through the cheese cloth and you have a cream cheese […]

Making juiceOriginally uploaded by Chris and Jenni.
Today we made juice for the first time in a long time and sissy got to help for the first time. She was pretty excited about that, although I need to figure out how to make it a little safer for her, she’s not quite ready for the open […]

I’ve posted several new healthy recipes to my Homemaking blog that you may enjoy. Most of them I haven’t tried but I know people who have :)
I’ve been wanting to start doing more juicing and I’ve asked a couple of my friends to share some of their favorite Juicing Recipes with me, if you have […]
