It’s been a beautiful week here at the homestead. We’ve had warm, sunny days, the birds have been singing, the newborn calves and lambs are so adorable, and the colors of the new leaves and flowers are breath taking. Spring time has FINALLY arrived here in Southern Indiana and I love it.
Now on to this week’s menu.
Have a great week!

With strawberry season in full swing here in Southern Indiana, I thought it would be a good time to share some of my favorite strawberry recipes I have saved to try. Strawberries are great for eating as is for a snack, but they are even better when you turn them into yummy treats.
The microwave is one of those appliances that can slip by our clean-it list. Since the door is almost always closed the dirtiness that lurks in there can go unnoticed for quite some time. Luckily the microwave can be cleaned with very minimal effort. There is no need to reach for a harsh cleaner either, steam clean your microwave instead!
I’m a big freezer cooking fanatic. I love making extra portions of whatever I’m cooking and freezing them for later use. Having pre-cooked ground beef and chopped veggies in the freezer has saved my butt more then once when I was running late and needed something fast to feed my hungry family.
The last time I made homemade pancakes, I thought how great it would be to have them in a grab and go size for a on the run breakfast. Thus, the pancake muffin was born. All of the flavor of a fluffy pancake, syrup included, in a convenient little package. Plus, they freeze great. If your eating them at home, you can dip them in a little extra maple syrup if you’d like, but it isn’t necessary at all. They taste great just the way they are, and are the perfect busy morning breakfast. Continue reading »
I hope all the mom’s out there had a wonderful Mothers Day! I spent a quite day at home, just relaxing and enjoying some down time. Of course all of my children and husband wished me a Happy Mothers day. One big surprise was my son Chris calling me to wish me a Happy Mothers Day too! While I wont go into details, it has been a few years since I last heard from him, so it was a joyful moment to hear his voice and find out he is ok.

I’m really, really tired of being so bloated and miserable with stomach aches all the time though, so I think giving up gluten, even though some of my favorite foods contain it, will be worth it. My family loves the stuff, so I wont force them into giving it up too.
Now on to this week’s menu.
