It was a cooking extravaganza!

February 28, 2011 by Kathy 2 Comments

OK, maybe not, but do you ever get those days when you are just in a cooking mood? I usually don’t mind preparing meals — it’s creative, it’s fast, and there’s a decent payoff at the end — but this was one of those days when I REALLY felt like cooking. I try to make … [Read more…]

Home Cooking

August 21, 2010 by Kathy 4 Comments

We have had the blessing of many, many meals brought over after Joseph’s birth, and I am so thankful for the love and care that went into each one of them. However, after four weeks my family is missing “Mom cooking,” so I’m cooking a simple supper tonight — burritos, with a side of rice … [Read more…]

Anyone else inspired?

July 13, 2010 by Kathy 1 Comment

I am thrilled to see that Money Saving Mom and her dh were able to buy their first home WITH CASH. I think that’s one of the most inspirational financial success stories I’ve heard in quite some time! Many congratulations to MMM and her family!!! Over at Grocery Shrinks, there is a great link to … [Read more…]

Where did the past week go?

May 26, 2010 by Kathy 7 Comments

I’ve been keeping myself pretty busy, obviously! The strawberry season is winding down, but I was able to get myself going this past weekend and make TWO batches of strawberry jam! That bumps our total to twenty jars of strawberry jam (since we opened one already and ate it). What does one do with that … [Read more…]

To boldly go where I have never gone before

May 17, 2010 by Kathy 11 Comments

I realize that canning is routine for most people, but I have always had a fear of it. After reading so many different articles and books on canning, I had this dread in the back of my head that somehow I’d do it wrong, and my whole family would wind up with a horrible case … [Read more…]

Thursday ramblings

March 4, 2010 by Kathy 2 Comments

I’m sure everyone is just anxious to know if our new Lenten project is working or not. I’m pleased to say that so far, it’s been a great success (thanks for asking!) In fact, Kathryn just came in a minute ago and said, “Mom, it’s gorgeous outside! As soon as Reilly and I donate our … [Read more…]

Who’s with me?

January 21, 2010 by Kathy 1 Comment

Wow… turns out that Faith & Family also had a post yesterday about making things from scratch! Great minds think alike, huh? *grin* Anyway, in that post she links to A Year of Slow Cooking, which takes us all step-by-step through making yogurt in the crockpot! I guess I have no excuse now… I’m going … [Read more…]

I’m not turning anti-social!

January 21, 2010 by Kathy 2 Comments

I just can’t figure out WHY blogger decided to stop notifying me of comments posted on my blog. So, in an effort to make sure that no comment gets unnoticed… and no one feels unappreciated when they graciously took the time to stop by and write something…. I am putting comments on “waiting for moderator … [Read more…]

Labor of Love

January 2, 2010 by Kathy 2 Comments

I bought a bag of overripe bananas at the grocery store today. With Kathryn’s help we turned that banana stash into…. Four loaves of banana bread (for breakfasts) and banana pudding (for dessert tonight). Why is this a labor of love? Because I cannnot STAND the smell or taste of bananas. I won’t be eating … [Read more…]

Some favorites

January 21, 2008 by Kathy 3 Comments

My “food photography” abilities are basically nonexistent, so I will offer you this photo (and this recipe) from Cooking Light. It is one of my favorite magazines and this recipe is truly wonderful. Trust me. Make it. Your family will thank you. Reading Elizabeth Foss’ blog is dangerous business. Not only will she inspire the … [Read more…]
