Both kids are up and raring to go. Gotta make this quick. Last week was the letter V. We mostly focused on Valentine’s Day. So…I didn’t actually get to finish this post earlier. We’ll see if I get a few min. to do it now. The Letter V crafts – make Valentine’s, make fairies, V …
Meal Plans Week of 2-19-12
Here we are at the last full week in February. Time is just flying by. Last week we kept plenty busy with errands and stuff around the house. I was also busy with cake decorating. And we had a fun trip yesterday to visit my family and celebrate my nephew’s birthday at his Lego party. …
Soaked Pie Crust
I am continuing to experiment with soaking grains and trying recipes from my Kitchen Stewardship e-book. Today I’m trying a soaked pie crust. The recipe is from Make a Home Mom. It is very easy to prep. I did it all in the food processor (same as I do for all of my pie crusts). …
Hot Fudge Pudding Cake
For Valentine’s Day yesterday my daughter and I baked a cake for my husband. It is a cake he grew up eating (I got the recipe from my MIL). It sure does taste good! It’s like a combination of cake, fudge and pudding all in one. Top it with whipped cream or ice cream …

Meal Plans Week of 2-12-12
Happy Valentine’s Day (on Tuesday:)! We’re really not that big into this holiday. But it’s fun to do some little things with kids. And coincidentally Rebecca’s letter this week is V! So we’ll try to incorporate a few Valentine’s Day activities…amidst a fairly busy week. Last week was fairly low key, which was good since …
Soaked Donuts

I’ve never actually made donuts before. It’s been on my things to try list for a long time. These looked easy…and soaked 🙂 They …
Soaked Granola
I was planning to make a big batch of my usual granola this week. But then I came across a recipe for soaked granola that looked good. And it turns out that I don’t have that many oats in the house. So since I’m trying to soak most of our grains these days I decided …
Soaked Baked Oatmeal
I tried another recipe from the Kitchen Stewardship e-book this morning. It comes from Christy at One Little Word She Knew. I love Christy’s blog. And I love this recipe!! It was super easy. And it turned out really well. Justin really liked it. I tasted a little. I thought it was great too (we’ll …
The Letter T
Last week we studied the letter T. A lot of what we did centered on Tinkerbell 🙂 So, anything related to fairies. The Letter T character – ThankfulTinkerbell – book from the library, fairy wand and crown, wings (pb/honey sandwich cut out like wings) and wand (star fruit on sticks) lunch, blue moonstone and pixie dust scepter snack …
