It may have started out as bad grammar, but there is no doubt that s’mores have become a staple to children here in the US. What exactly is in a name? Well, to the best of my knowledge s’mores received their moniker by someone wanting “some more.” This got glued together (much like the s’moreContinue reading “Give Me S’more!”

Just Peachy!
The other day I bought some rather large peaches from a local store. I wanted to make peach freezer jam. If you’ve never tried freezer jam, I encourage you to do so and soon! Freezer jam is just the fruit, sugar (or other sweetener,) lemon juice, pectin, and calcium water! There is no cooking andContinue reading “Just Peachy!”
Post-Partum Flashback
Here in the states, we have a program that explores what regular people would do in uncomfortable situations. Tonight, I happened to tune in and they were talking about post-partum depression. It hit me hard. The show pictured a young mother (an actress) with various people overhearing her conversation with her friend (another actress) orContinue reading “Post-Partum Flashback”
Searching for Peace
This past few days have been extremely rough on our family. As I shared before, child #3 was up at a healing place to get treatment recommendations for her issues. She was there for six weeks and came home on Friday. We made it two hours before she had a panic attack and broke downContinue reading “Searching for Peace”

The other night we had an Italian feast. We love all sorts of different foods here, but Italian is one of our favorites, though my indigestion does not always agree. Child #4 was scheduled to cook dinner and we were having spaghetti, meatballs, and garlic bread. YUUUUUUMMMMM!!! This is a big dinner for anyone, soContinue reading “An Italian Feast”

What we had was an old bottle filled with dried “lemon peel.” It was old and I in no way wanted to add that to anyContinue reading “Zest for Life”
Grandmotherly Wisdom
I was thinking the other day about my grandma and how she had a wisdom for any occasion. Have a stye in your eye? Well then you must have peed in the street! Does your nose itch? Then you’re going to kiss a fool! Are you sure? Of course, but you can’t be positive. Why?Continue reading “Grandmotherly Wisdom”
Summer Chili
It’s getting warm out and you may not have chili on the brain. However, this is a much lighter version of a heavy Fall/Winter chili. It is light, fresh, and very flavorful. My chili is not hot, but flavorful. If you are afraid of the heat, you may add another can of plain petite dicedContinue reading “Summer Chili”
Prayers Answered
I wanted to thank everyone who prayed for our dear friend, Anna. She informed me today that she does not have brain cancer. The doctors messed up her chart. They still need to figure out why she gets migraines and why, when super anxious, she has seizures, but the no brain cancer news is awesome!!!Continue reading “Prayers Answered”
