One modern family's journey of going country!
Hands down, the most quoted movie in our house is any of the VEGGIE TALES! You silly little pickle....You silly little pea....Playing with monkeys was the first thing you thought of?!?!Jump really high?? Dad! The robo-pogo!But Bob, they're going to laugh at me.... We have watched almost all of the movies, and a few on… Continue reading Uh, I’m A Cucumber
My biscuits bring all the....people to my table?! (And they're like, it's better than... Hahaha, sorry!) My early 2000's are showing again... Ok, for real. Yesterday, I shared my favorite (and most delicious!) sourdough biscuit recipe. It is the perfect addition to any meal, but could make a simple meal on its own. I'm sure… Continue reading It’s All Gravy
So far in this Sourdough Series, I have told you what not to do and what you need to do to get a new starter ready for baking. Today, I am going to share my FAVORITE sourdough recipe ever. Seriously! (My mouth is watering just thinking about it...) The reason I first began using a… Continue reading Sourdough Biscuits
I told a horrific story in my last sourdough post and I promise, this one is way better! Now, making and using a sourdough starter in your baking is an ancient method for adding yeast or a "lift" to your baked goodies. I decided to give it a try after reading about Ma's ability to… Continue reading The Starter

It was beyond good, and became a favorite in our house. Of course, because it's not… Continue reading Pickled Jalapenos
Over the years of learning to enjoy new foods and, especially new veggies, I found that my number one favorite vegetable is KALE! (It was even my Intsagram name for several years...) I've even learned to grow this delicious and healthy green in the garden during the spring and fall months. It really is a… Continue reading Garden Fresh Kale Chips
It's been about 2 weeks since I last posted, and with everything going on around the world, our days have been turned upside down. From having my husband being home most days of the week, to still working on our renovation project, we have been going 100 miles an hour (or so it seems!) in… Continue reading Homemade Veggie Dip
If I haven't mentioned it before, our family likes to eat....A LOT! Food planning, prepping, and consuming takes up a good portion of our day. Which, is fine, since we already stay home most of the time (before it was mandated...) About two years ago, I decided there were a few regularly bought prepared food… Continue reading Homemade Yogurt
