Month: September 2007

  • Monday September 24, 2007

    Blessed with work.  Good hard work!  We’ve enjoyed so much of this lately, and it will continue; and for that, I am thankful! My husband and sons worked very hard today.  That mountain of firewood loomed large this morning! By  shortly after noon, they had the existing lean to wood shed full.  It was stacked […]

    I’m excited about this week’s menu!  I’m looking forward to trying some new recipes.  Some of the new dishes are recipes from magazines, and some are dishes that I’m creating on my own after being inspired by a recipe I’ve seen that needed some changes to suit my family.  It’s fun to try new things!!!  If a […]

    My husband is a man of most excellent timing!  He is!  He bought our new dryer Wednesday afternoon, and took the first available delivery date which was today.  Today it rained!  It didn’t rain buckets, but we had a light rain that fell for several hours, and the day was definitely not suitable for using […]

  • Whole Wheat Apple Cinnamon Rolls

    Here are the Whole Wheat Apple Cinnamon Rolls that we’re having for breakfast in the morning! The rolls start off as a healthy, whole wheat dough (sweetened with honey),  and are then topped with wholesome ingredients like apples, creamy butter and succanat. Delicious! Because the rolls themselves are so healthy, we’re not even going to […]

  • Copperswife’s Health Nut Muffins

    These moist, delicious muffins are filled with whole grain flour, applesauce, nuts, carrots and Craisins (or raisins), which means that they are super healthy, too! I love having home made baked goods in the freezer.  They can easily be incorporated into the menu plan for even the busiest of weeks.  It’s quick and easy to […]

    You all have encouraged me so much in the last few days!  You really have!  I was able to pop in, now and again, and the comments that you have left me have encouraged me so much.  Thank you, each and every one of you, for your sweet words, for the private messages and e-mails, […]

  • Grandma’s Gingerbread Cake

    This is a very dark, moist and delicious gingerbread cake. It’s not at all like the light, sugary versions you would buy in a mix; but it’s a heartier, even spicier cake. The grandbabies gobbled it right up with a cup of cold milk, and some of the adults (I’m not naming names) had seconds! […]

  • Easy French Bread

    This is my favorite French Bread recipe. It’s fabulous  made with all white flour, but it’s equally good made with half white and half whole wheat flour. The result is a nice crust, with perfect French bread texture inside. (If you click on the links below, and then make a purchase, some of them may […]

  • Tuesday September 18, 2007

         I wanted to pop in for just a moment mid-day to say hello.  We are just in a season of being blessed beyond measure, and busy, busy, busy.  I’ve so much I’d love to share about God’s goodness to us, in the every day things as well as in some bigger things.  I find […]

  • Sunday September 16, 2007

    I’m not terribly thrilled with our menu plan for this week.  I think I was just tired when I worked on it Saturday evening and finished it up Sunday evening.  Maybe it’s the subtle change in the weather, but I have some very ambitious plans for menus in the coming weeks.  In fact, I’ve already made […]
