The start of a new week…I couldn’t be happier 🙂 Last week was brutal with the never-ending flu. It got really bad for a bit. I had to have Justin stay home to take care of the kids. I could barely stand up. I was on the verge of going in for an IV…but finally …
Scalloped Sweet Potatoes and Apples
Earlier this week I made another recipe from my Old Pennsylvania Dutch Recipes book. It is called Scalloped Sweet Potatoes and Apples. Perfect for fall in Michigan! It was quite easy to make and turned out really well. I cooked the sweet potatoes first thing in the morning. Then did the peeling and slicing when …
Meal Plans Week of 10-21-12
We made it through another day/night. The flu has gone through our house…and doesn’t seem to want to leave. Abram had a very mild case last weekend. Then Rebecca got it on Wed. morning. I came down with it Thurs. evening. And Rebecca and I are still not over it. Fever, aches, chills…then you feel …
Grain Free Pesto Topped Quiche…Or Egg Pizza
Eggs and pesto go very well together. I’ve made a pesto quiche before…one version that had pesto on the bottom and one that had it mixed in. The problem is that the pesto usually kind of gets lost in the eggs. Sometimes you can’t even tell it’s there. So last night I decided to top our quiche with …

Meal Plans Week of 10-14-12
Apples, apples and more apples. That was my week last week. I made and canned applesauce four days in a row. Then made dried apples the next. Instead of doing a bunch of different projects I decided to just keep going until I worked through our big stash of apples. I now have 52 jars …
Meal Plans Week of 10-7-12
A chilly fall morning here. Perfect morning to have leftover soup for breakfast 🙂 We survived a busy weekend with out of town family. Everyone had a great time. We got to meet our future sister-in-law and celebrate my father-in-law’s birthday (with special dairy free cupcakes with homemade frosting). This week should be a bit more …
Monthly Goals – October 2012
It’s October…time to bring out the fall decorations and all of our favorite fall recipes. This month I want to keep up with food preservation and some crafts. But I also want to find balance (as much as that’s possible) and not try to overdo. I want to be more relaxed and more patient with …
End of Month Recap – September 2012
Wow, September sure went by quickly! With the start of all of our fall activities we have been going, going, going. It was busy, but fun. Rebecca is loving preschool. And it’s good to see friends at Kindermusik and MomBreak again. I did pretty well with my goals. It helps when you don’t make too …
