I had lived 20 years before tasting that first sip of chai tea.Then survived another three years before finding “the good stuff”. Now I’m sharing it with you. A better than the coffee-house chai tea recipe. While dating my now husband, we visited a coffee-house. Because I had been in a coffee shop the grand total of two other times, I proudly ordered–what I ordered the other two times–a mocha frappe. (I knew I couldn’t go wrong with chocolate!) Jason […]

Make Your Own Seasoning for Breakfast Sausage
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
I don’t know when I last purchased breakfast sausage. Most of the breakfast sausage that is found in the stores makes me feel yuck. One brand in particular really affects me, and NOT in a good way. That’s why we make our own seasoning for breakfast sausage. The summer I turned 5 (I think), my grandpa discovered a small piglet in the ditch. I believe he managed to track down the farmer who had lost her, and was told he […]

Who wants a recipe for healthy whole wheat lemon bars? I did! Problem is, I couldn’t find one. I’m guessing it’s because lemons are so sour, that they need a good deal of sugar, and lots of sugar means not healthy. So look as I might, all I found were great and yummy sounding recipes that called for highly processed flours and sugars. Drawing inspiration of off about 3 different recipes I made a batch. Meh… still to much sugar, […]
