Homemade Waffles
These waffles are just perfect! They are crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside. I use a pretty inexpensive Belgian Waffle Maker and get about 6 huge waffles out of this recipe. If you have a smaller waffle maker you will be able to get many more. These also freeze wonderfully. If I…
Fun In The Snow
I know sometimes when the children have been in the house for a while and start to get loud and crazy, it is easy to send them outside for a little fun in the snow. Well, bundle up and join them! Even if you are just going out to make one snow angel or are…
Chocolate Banana Bread
If you have any bananas in your kitchen that are pretty ripe…PLEASE give this recipe a try. It is great for breakfast with some fresh fruit or even as a snack or dessert! I substitute extra virgin coconut oil for the butter to make it a little healthier and the slightest hint of it is…
Be goofy & play dress up
My children are goofy! For Christmas they received fake mustaches. Anything they can dress up in is a hit around here:) They call them “M-U-S-T-A-C-H-I-O-S” in an Italian accent! Our family loves the book, Pizza Pat by Rita Goldman Gelman. On certain occasions we have been known to even make a pizza together after reading…

The Good Old Wood Line
As I sip my coffee this morning the squirrels around my house are gathering their nuts and are a reminder that winter is well on its way. If you haven’t done so already, before the snow falls it’s an excellent time to stack wood for your fires this winter. This year we have been…
One Pot Goulash
I love comfort food that doesn’t take all day to make. This Goulash is easy to make and serves a large, hungry family. Because this freezes very well, if you have a smaller family, you can even get two meals out of this. Just store your left overs in a freezer friendly container and you’ll…

Handcrafting Holiday decorations is one of my favorite things to do. It is usually pretty inexpensive and there is some type of gratification that comes along with making things yourself. With that said, lets talk about Pomanders. I like to use oranges with cloves. Alone the smell is wonderful, but combined with…
