Yesterday I tried another sourdough recipe from Cake Walk for brownies. This recipe is very simple to make. And the brownies are delicious! They definitely don’t taste like sourdough. I added a few chocolate chips instead of nuts. They turned out the slightest bit crumbly. Maybe next time I’ll add an extra egg. But overall very …
Crockpot Peppercorn Steak
We still have quite a bit of beef in our freezer from last year. I’m always looking for new ways to cook it. After searching for a steak recipe I found a simple one on A Year of Slow cooking. I modified it a little, using what I had on hand. It turned out great! …
Meal Plans Week of 8-26-12
The last week of August. The last free days before school starts. Only two more weeks to have my “baby” girl home with me every day. We’re trying to make the most of it. Last week ended up busier than we had expected. I had a psychologist appointment (doctor had to reschedule) and more nutritional …
Homemade Whole Wheat "Oreos"
On Sunday Rebecca got to try an Oreo at church (slight cringe :P). Then she asked if we could make our own Oreos so we could make Oreo sundaes (love this girl…what four year-old asks if she can make something from scratch instead of going and buying more:). Why not? So that was our project yesterday. I …
Sourdough Peanut Butter Blondies (vegan)
I’ve been searching for new sourdough recipes lately. I came across a recipe for sourdough peanut butter blondies on Cake Walk. They looked simple and delicious. Yesterday morning both kids helped me make them (that’s how easy they are to make). It only takes a few minutes to mix the batter. Then pop them in …
Meal Plans Week of 8-19-12
I confess…I was scrambling to come up with this week’s meals at 9pm last night. I’m normally very on top of it, but last week was CRAZY busy. It was kind of a blur. I felt bad for Abram in and out of the car seat all day. Especially since he hates being in it. …
Meal Plans Week of 8-12-12
Brrr. It’s chilly this morning. We have finally gotten a break from the extreme summer heat. Now it’s really feeling like fall is on the way. It will be here before we know it. In the mean time, we’ve got a few weeks of summer fun and produce preservation to get through 🙂 Last week …
Meal Plans Week of 8-5-12
First full week in August. We still have a month before school, but I’m already getting nervous 😛 I’m not ready for my baby to be in school! Thankfully she is 🙂 Last week we kept busy…especially in the kitchen. I think I had baking withdrawal on vacation or something. Or I was just in …
Soaked Breakfast Bar ("Cereal" Bar)
I’ve been doing lots of baking and experimenting this week. Today I came up with a soaked breakfast bar recipe. When I made a batch of soaked graham crackers earlier in the week I realized that the dough was pretty good before dehydrating it. It was soft and chewy. The best part? My 14 month …
A Berrylicious Cake
A couple years ago I got an old Strawberry Shortcake book at a second hand sale. It’s called The Berrylicious Bake-off. Rebecca has always enjoyed reading it. And every time we say we should try making a cake like the one in the book…someday. Well, yesterday we finally did it! We made “the berry best …
