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. But, when it comes to cleaning and organizing kitchen cabinets, and all that fun stuff, well I’m grateful for a small kitchen. 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. Admittedly I went through a phase, where the only thing my attempts created were flops. Total flops! However, after time I have perfected my method, and they turn out every time! Best of all, from start to finish, it takes me less than 10 minutes to get the crust in the pan ready to bake. [...]
Holiday food: one thing that comes to mind would be a cheese ball. After all, would it really be a family gathering with out a cheese ball? I don’t think so!

The cheese ball got dug into before I remembered to take a picture. Oops! Recipe for Cheese Ball: 1 8oz [...]

NuNaturals liquid stevia is: Gluten Free, Zero Calories, Zero Carbs, Sugar Free, All natural, NonBitter, Zero Fat, Sodium Free. After that list, [...]
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 [...]
Did you know you can make your own homemade bread crumbs? It’s really easy. Why should you make your own bread crumbs? Buying them is expensive. A good way to use old or stale bread.

Not to mention, we don’t like white bread. What you will need, [...]

What is my Secret to Crispy Fried Potatoes? Who doesn’t love fried potatoes? I love them! There is one thing that’s sometimes tricky for me, getting them crispy. It’s easy to get crispy potatoes if you deep fry them. but what if you are like me? No deep fat fryer, and not real keen on all that grease? I like to put some oil or butter in a pan and fill it full of potatoes, but that is where I [...]

I made meatloaf the other day, and we ate it for two meals. No kids means a lot of leftovers for us. Then the remaining meatloaf sits in the fridge for three days, not enough for two people but more than enough for one. Then, as I am making a fresh batch of tortillas, inspiration strikes! Easy peasy, meatloaf wraps! I put a tortilla in a pan with hot butter. Added a slice of cheese and some crumbled up meatloaf. [...]

Pour about a tablespoon of oil into your pan of water. Lovely picture right? Once the water starts boiling the oil mixes with the bubbles on top and as you slide your pasta into the pan, the [...]
