Not sure if it was my Texas upbringing that grew me into a Mexican food lover, but this enchilada recipe definitely sprouted from my Austin roots. Every New Year’s Eve our church would have a potluck and pray in the New Year together…and every year we all looked forward to Hugh’s Enchiladas…I’ve still never tasted [...]

Thanks to Martha Stewart’s basic instructions, we tackled about 12 snow globes the Friday before Christmas…and learned a LOT in the process. Like there really is a reason to use epoxy glue…and oil-based enamel paint…hee. But overall, we’re extremely [...]
Well, really, its earned a new name at our house: Snowstorm Soup! For the story and the recipe, follow this link over to Writer…Interrupted and my post today!

We wish you all a very blessed Christmas! May God and His gifts be at the center of all your celebrations, even if it’s only in your own heart. This year, why not make a special gift of your own to God? Something personal, requiring sacrifice. Something to bring Him glory in [...]
Survived yesterday’s “blizzarding”…just barely! Final snow totals were around 12 inches, with the high winds leaving drifts that were “rib” high on us people and white stuff to the truck beds and fencetops! We were at my sister-in-law’s for Christmas celebrations when it hit, and had to blaze our own trail home on the buried [...]

This first one is out the back porch door, looking up toward our horse barn…
This one is also taken from near my back porch door, with me standing behind our Suburban…beyond the hay bale you’ll see our horses.
Down our driveway, which by the [...]

Buttermilk: I take 1/4 cup of buttermilk and add four cups of milk to a mason jar.
Cover and shake a little, then put on the counter.
In about 24 hours, [...]
I’m on day two of a “no shampoo” experiment…
Upon browsing Mrs. Brigham’s wonderful site, I came across a link to an article on going “Shampoo Free”. Intrigued, I went and read the whole thing. Kind of raised my eyebrows a bit, but gradually I warmed to the idea. Especially since I’ve been reading warnings about [...]
With the Oklahoma/Missouri ice storm heading North, I’d say the rest of us in the mid-western USA should probably be thinking about the potential for electrical outages. When I think of the last damage we had from ice storms, I shiver! We have half the insurance coverage that we had then…so here’s hoping our barns [...]
