This is a recipe that you start the night before. Plan ahead!
Yesterday I was inspired by a recipe posted on the Weight Watchers site. I changed it up a bit to fit our family, but the idea of cooking oatmeal in the crockpot overnight intrigued me. It turned out to be some of the best [...]
We also had a yummy salmon egg scramble this morning with some leftover salmon from last night’s dinner. You can vary this recipe to use up any amount of leftover salmon you have, just adjust the amount of eggs to get the right mixture. This was enough for six people. I served this with peppered [...]

1/2 cup unbleached all purpose [...]

As a nod to our founding fathers and a confirmation that we are proud not to be subjects of the crown, I made mine with a decidedly American twist by adding maple syrup and pecans. I also [...]
Yesterday was a wonderful day! We spent the day picking cynthiana grapes in the vineyard and making grape jelly. Ellis, Alden, Meredith and I had a great time sitting on the porch at his parents’ house picking the grapes off of the stems with them. Alden is a pro at spotting the rotten ones! (And [...]
Alden woke me up at 5:00 am with a crazy request to wash his “brown blanket” (his lovey) and to make muffins, so I thought I would make the best of it and start baking! While we had a great time watching the blanket spin in the soapy water, we had an even better time [...]
