Becoming the Wife God Created Me To Be
Since I’m trying to get my house spring cleaned, I though I would share a cleaning and organizing kitchen cabinets 101 post. I love my kitchen and often wish it were bigger.

My cabinets do not go clear to the ceiling, instead I have this open space up there that gets used as storage. My ivy and grapes [...]

I’ve been trying out a number of crock-pot recipes, and maybe it’s just me, but I have the worst luck with food burning around the top. It doesn’t burn anywhere else usually, but the top part is a mess. Now the whole point of using a crock-pot is to save time. But how much time are you saving, if you spend 20 minutes scrubbing the pot? I needed an easy way to clean my crock-pot. After trying a few experiments, [...]
Quick and Easy Pie Dough Ever since we got married I have made my pie crusts from scratch. It’s surprisingly simple and easy to do.

Best of all, from start to finish, it takes me less than 10 minutes to get the crust in the pan ready to bake. [...]

I’m honestly not a big fan of soup, most of the time I could take it or leave it. But there are a few I make a lot of just because it’s easy and tasty. A favorite is Cheddar Chowder. I will usually make this at least once or twice a month in the winter time. Besides, there is always leftovers and this soup is just as good the 4th and 5th time. Recipe for Cheddar Chowder Soup: 2c. Water [...]
