A while back I stumbled upon an article about Giada De Laurentiis being the "Sauce Boss" of the food network. I watched her sauce being made and instantly wanted some. I've always loved canning my own stuff...knowing exactly whats in the food I'm giving my kids is exciting. What's even more exciting is the feeling [...]
Okay, that may not be the most creative name for a breakfast- but for this really simple, quick Saturday morning breakfast, I think it's a pretty perfect name. We mixed this recipe up while camping last summer, and made it this morning with little effort. While has browns sometimes take a little effort to get [...]
A new venture this year that I'm taking on is Den Mother for Cub Scouts. My husband came home one evening and let me know he volunteered to be Den leader. I was really happy he wanted to be involved in this and that my son wanted to do scouts. I sort of imagined we'd [...]
