Another Birthday . . . Lalaloopsy Bib Overalls!

Our Grandson, John Isaac is having a Birthday!

Here's What I've Been Busy With

I have collected recipes since my senior year in high school. Instead of working on my art project, a mosaic made up of tiny squares of color cut from magazines, I was busy with a razor blade knife cutting out recipes! (I wonder what kids use to cut out pictures from magazines these days? Maybe rounded scissors?).

Potato Rye Bread ~ for the Bread Machine

My job is to make and bake homemade bread for Will. Will's job is to slice and eat the bread I make!

Rhubarb Lemonade Elixir . . . Excitingly ~ Delicious!!!

I am a rhubarb lover from way back, so, when I found this recipe for Rhubarb Lemonade I was salivating at the thought of tasting it!

Yummy Carrot Cake Loaves

Will surprised me on Sunday afternoon by baking up 2 Carrot Cake Loaves, complete with Cream Cheese Frosting!

The Three Sisters ~ Corn, Beans, Squash

Will has decided to garden like the Native American Indians this year, so he is breaking new ground, and has purchased heirloom seeds from Seeds Trust.

Fully Loaded Potatoes ~ Quick! Easy! Delicious! Healthy Alternative!

I found time got away from me while out gardening. We were both tired, dirty, and ravenous . . . It's in vulnerable moments like that, you need a back-up plan!

DIY ~ Elbow Grease ~ Moisturizing Healing Discs

We live in a climate where the sun shines most of the time and our humidity is usually 13%. That means our skin dries out real easily, especially in the wintertime. My sister lives in a climate that's cold and dreary in the winter, and her hands crack and bleed! We need an INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH MOISTURIZER with STAYING, HEALING POWER!!!

The BEST Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies EVER!!!

My niece, Amy sent me this Five-Star chocolate chip cookie recipe years ago!
