  • Peanut Butter Bars

    If you love peanut butter and chocolate together, you’ll love these wonderful, crunchy Peanut Butter Bars! They are quick to make in a saucepan on the stove and are only in the oven long enough to melt the chocolate chips on top. PEANUT BUTTER BARS 1 cup sugar 1 cup Karo syrup 2 cups peanut…

    Our Saturday was our normal busy day.  Yard work, lots of laundry, cleaning the animal pens, watering and irrigation, and preparing food in advance for the Lord’s Day.  We do a lot on Saturday, but we do tend to work at a more leisurely pace than we do during the week.  Slow, but steady throughout…

  • Dani’s Orange Coffee Cake

    My daughter is such a generous girl!  She readily agreed to allow me to share her Orange Coffee Cake recipe with you here. It’s moist and tender, with a lovely orange flavor and a light streusel topping for crunch. Dani usually doubles this recipe and puts one in the freezer for another time. This coffee…

         A friend and I are wondering about homemade laundry soap.  I’d love to hear from those of you who have made and used your own.       IF you have used homemade laundry soap,     AND IF you have used it for, say, at least three months     AND IF you have children, we’d love to hear…

         Just popping in quickly, and very late, tonight for a quick hello.  Hello!  I’ve been on my little lap top computer a lot today, and my eyes are very weary.  It’s much too late to try to upload and edit pictures.  I know you’ll understand.  (Corin does have a few pictures posted from today under…

    My husband and I had a delightful time out together last night.  I’ve never had a meal at The Cheesecake Factory before.  Oh, my word, was it good!  It is a bit pricey, so we’ll probably save visits there for extra special occasions only.  The food was wonderful.  We both had way more than we…

    Our weekend was great, but it was a bit of a whirlwind.  Dani and I hustled about Saturday morning getting as much of the Saturday cooking, laundry, sheet changing, watering, etc. done by noon as we could.  Aaron and Will did their part, too, by getting out early to do the mowing and animal pen…

         We’re winding down from a busy weekend with a busy start to the week, but back to normal (Lord willing!) after that!  Yahoo!  I’m incorporating some planned overs for lunches this week, too; something I need to be more diligent about doing.  I’ve one recipe marked with an *, and I’ll post the recipe…

    It’s been so long since I have had a normal day, I’m not even sure I’d know what to do with one if it came my way!!!  Woo hoo, life is exciting, isn’t it??  Honestly, I wouldn’t have it any other way.  Though I had fully intended to use today to regroup and get life…

Got any book recommendations?
