So sorry, but here's another soup recipe. But it's just so dang good! When I was little my mom would make what we called Zucchini Soup. Ok I hated it. Sorry mom! Don't take it personal, I just didn't like the stuff. I remember she made it the night I broke my first arm. I was in 2nd grade and I was showing off just a tad bit. It was recess and our school had these bars that had three different levels. You could do all sorts of twirls ... ...continue reading
Apple Tart Anyone?
Breakfast or maybe it was lunch the next day.Two lovely tarts!Every Christmas since I've been married to J, there is one treat I especially love, love, love at his mom's. I eat the whole entire confection by myself sometimes, or I may share it with a sister-in-law or two if they happen to be around. The one problem I've found though with this dessert is that it never actually makes it to a proper plate. I just take little forkfuls, or maybe ... ...continue reading
It Snowed Last Night
He said it was going to happen. The weather man even wore his white coat last night signalling the return of snowflakes. I admit I didn't believe him, but yup, he was right. It snowed last night and it was a beautiful sight early this morning before the sun came up. My neck of the woods is so quiet and peaceful on days like this. Actually it is quiet and peaceful most of the time. My mother has a hard time babysitting my kids here. She ... ...continue reading
What To Eat For LOTOJA
At the finish in Jackson. Great ride boys!LOTOJA tattoos. It was like a badge of honor.I grew this! Amazing huh!So sorry if you wondering what in the world LOTOJA is, but in my little life it occupies quiet a bit of time during the months of Aug. and Sept. This year was no exception. For the last 8 or 9 years James has been participating in the annual road bike race from Logan, UT to Jackson Hole, WY. 206 miles to be exact, and it is ... ...continue reading
What A Little Prayer Can Do
Standing at attention.Last May my sister and I were having a conversation about gardening. Gardening tomatoes in particular. We were discussing how to grow the best tomatoes, and the many different secrets we've heard from gardeners over the years. I have to admit, my neck of the woods has not achieved very good tomato results over the years. Late frosts in June, and early frosts in Sept. aren't the best conditions for tomatoes. I was ... ...continue reading
Home Made Pumpkin Pie
What to do when everyone in the family wants Pumpkin Pie for Sunday dinner's desert, the pie crust is ready, but there is no can of pumpkin to be found in the inn, and it is the Sabbath and I can't go shopping today. (Don't get me wrong. I admit to breaking the Sabbath day a few times in my life, but it usually involved a pink Winchell's doughnut with sprinkles on top. Remember that daddy-o!) That was my dilemma Sunday when I realized the ... ...continue reading
Do Not Try This At Home
I had to post about this recipe because it was just sooooo over the top. I'm sorry I can not give credit where credit is due. I found it on some nice gals blog and thought I'd give it a try, but now I don't know where I found it. (I found it! Picky-Palate click here) So, nice girl who came up with the idea, thank you...... but I'll never make these again. J was thoroughly intrigued by this recipe and even considered making them at the ... ...continue reading
Dilly Rolls
It doesn't matter how long I've cooked or how many different things I try, there are a few things my mom makes that I think are the most amazing recipes in the world. I have tried many different recipes for some of the items, but I still come back to my dear old mummy's way. In my opinion there is no better recipe than my mom's for Chocolate Chip cookies, Homemade Spaghetti Sauce with it's touch of cinnamon, Lasagna, gravy, and most importantly ... ...continue reading
Lake Powell
We have had many a person ask where our third child got his red hair. Well if you notice from the pictures of our recent adventures to Lake Powell, #3's hair color resembles the red rocks in those lovely canyons. Let's just say our last visit to Lake Powell was 10 years ago, and #3 just happens to be 9 years. You do the math:)We had a wonderful couple of days exploring the canyons of Lake Powell. It is such a great place, but I will say it's ... ...continue reading
I’m A Horrible Mother
We didn't have fuzzy catepillar soup. It was....green catepillar soup. Yummy, yummy!Anyone for catepillar soup? If so, I fix a mean one. And I served it to those I love the most. The other night I was trying to be a good little wife and get dinner before J went to church and I made our favorite Zuppa Tuscana soup. I have a hog in my freezer so there is plenty of sausage, and potatoes are abundant right now, and of course I grew my own kale ... ...continue reading
