Patty of Magpie’s Nest made lentil soup a few days back and peeked my interest. Today I made her recipe. My dear husband and I both enjoyed it…he even at seconds. I made a double batch, because the recipe sounded so good. (Smiling as I type) I’ve got supper squared away for tomorrow night already.

Keeping My Teapot Cozy
Posted in Blessings, Crochet and Knit, For The Fun Of It, From The Kitchen, Making Things, Show and Tell on October 30, 2009 | 14 Comments »
For some time I’ve noticed teapot cozies and thought how much fun it would be to have one. They aren’t something you see for sale everyday. Actually I’ve never seen one for sale, so I decided to try my hand at making one. I found a pattern online I was going to follow, but follow [...]
Pumpkin Cake w/ Buttermilk Glaze…Update
Posted in From The Kitchen on October 29, 2009 | 10 Comments »
Yesterday I finally had time and energy to make the pumpkin cake using the recipe I posted last week. I followed the cake recipe without deviation, but when Kathy read the recipe she commented adding flavor to the glaze would probably improve it. I’m all for flavor and did just that. After the cake cooled [...]
Pumpkin Pound Cake w/ Buttermilk Glaze

This recipe is one I’ve not tested, but it sounds wonderful, and I plan to bake one as soon as I gather the ingredients I don’t have on hand. When I do I’ll post a picture and give my thoughts on the outcome. In the meantime here’s a link to a picture of [...]
Homemade Goodness…Premium Yogurt
Posted in From The Kitchen, tagged homemade yogurt, Oikos Organic Greek Yogurt on September 17, 2009 | 10 Comments »
I’ve been making my own yogurt for quite some time. It’s worth the time and effort, because the taste is superior to anything you can buy in the store. After DH’s second surgery I got so wrapped up in taking care of him that I let my yogurt get too old to eat or use [...]
The “Because I have two” Giveaway
Posted in From The Kitchen, Gadgets and Products, Giveaways and Exchanges, tagged giveaway on August 22, 2009 | 10 Comments »
A couple years ago my youngest daughter gave me a useful little little book used to help remember which cookbook “make-again” recipes are in. I’ve got an abundance of cookbooks so Where In The World Is That Recipe? has been a great time-saving resource for me.
Just a few of the cookbooks in my collection and [...]
An Update and Delicious Dill Pickles

Life continues to be demanding enough to leave little time for the computer. I miss my bloggy friends and my blog and look forward to the time I can visit more often.
My DH is still going to physical therapy three times a week and has regained limited mobility of his shoulder. He’s still in a [...]
Quick Cool Down

I love to work outside in my garden, but I’m not very heat resistant. Once I get over-heated I am in likely to end up with a vicious headache…migraine proportion. A few years back someone shared a cool down tip with me, though for the life of me, I can’t remember who. I keep a [...]
Aunt Amelia’s Fig Cake
Posted in From The Kitchen, Making Things, tagged Recipes on March 24, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I never met Aunt Amelia. She was my husband’s grandmother’s aunt. Aunt Amelia passed away before my DH and I married, but her reputation of being a great cook still lives on. On Saturday I made a fig cake using her recipe. It’s moist and spicy and went over really well with my DH. It’s [...]
Pretty Pies and a Recipe
Posted in From The Kitchen, tagged Pies, Recipes on March 15, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I found this pie recipe in one of my all-time favorite cookbooks Bell’s Best (Volume 1). This is the first time I’ve tried it, and it’s high time I resumed trying and sharing at least one new recipe a week. I hit a snag when my dear dad went into the hospital about three weeks [...]
