I snapped a quick picture of this bread before I ate some for a snack, because it disappeared in under two days! This is one of those recipes from my cute pink recipe box that Grandma Winter gave all the granddaughters one year for Christmas. A lot of the recipes are fun to reminisce about, but not necessarily the type of foods we eat too often any more. Still, when I'm looking for something particular, I can usually find a recipe to start with from Grandma. Ingredients: 1/2 cup … [Read more...]
Recipe: Zucchini Pumpkin Bread
We got a huge zucchini from the Farmers' Market (for only $1.00!) the other day, and I knew I would be making some sort of bread with it. Have I mentioned I love baked goods? But I also wanted to make this a healthier version, while still keeping it yummy. So I lessened the sugar and switched out the melted butter for pumpkin. I also did some wheat flour and some all-purpose flour, and as a result the loaves were a little bit denser than with only all-purpose flour, but still moist and … [Read more...]
2015 Garden Update: Mid-July
At long last! Another update on our garden! Our apple trees have apples! I'm pretty excited for that come fall. We love applesauce. Here's our grapevine: ...and a close-up of a bunch of grapes!

The kids have basically been gobbling these up as soon as I bring them in, so we didn't end up making anything with them this year. Snacks of … [Read more...]
Recipe: Polish Sausage Stew
Growing up, this was my "peanut butter sandwich" dinner. Whenever my mom made this, I was allowed to have a peanut butter sandwich instead, because I could not stand it. I'm not sure if this was a rule she instituted beforehand, or if I was just so stubborn about not eating it, but I loved the peanut butter sandwich rule. My kids are young enough that I still make them eat everything once, but I have a feeling before too long, I'll let them pick one meal that is their "peanut butter … [Read more...]
Recipe: Cherry Apple Popsicles
Growing up, one of my favorite parts of summertime was popsicles. I was always a fan of the fudge pops, but I occasionally branched out into other flavors, and cherry is pretty much a classic when it comes to popsicles. Enter the bowl of cherries. These are after I pitted and halved them all. And after Jonah stole about 12 of them. The boy likes his fruits and veggies, at least when Mom is cutting them up. I make sure to do that when he's awake if I can. After cutting and pitting that … [Read more...]
