Today was the day! We have had quite a few lemons hanging around, looking pretty. Well…maybe not so pretty by now! So today child #2 decided was the day for juicing lemons. Now usually we would zest the lemons before juicing them, therein making sure to get all we can from said fruit, especially ifContinue reading “Luscious Lemon Frosting”

Totally Tomato Soup
Ah, Lent! That wonderful time of year where we are searching for meat-free recipes! Actually, many times people opt to eat meat-free. One of our favorite meals during this time of sacrifice is grilled cheese and tomato soup. Wait, you say! I thought you’d given up dairy. Yes, my dear readers, but there are otherContinue reading “Totally Tomato Soup”
Cake Ideas
Yesterday, child #3 and I made a special birthday cake for a. Ew friend of hers. We took a chocolate cake recipe (Grandpa’s Favorite Chocolate Fudge Cake would be awesome!) and made it into two 9″ rounds.

The other day, the lunchtime after we had had a big turkey for dinner, I was racking my brain to figure out somethingContinue reading “Leftover Turkey – BBQ Style”
Green Pepper Casserole
Years ago when my children were young, I tried to find a way to make stuffed green peppers that they would like. Everyone loved the filling, but not all the green pepper. So, I figured if I made it with strips of peppers, rather than whole peppers, maybe my children would eat it. Originally, IContinue reading “Green Pepper Casserole”
