I know I’ve mentioned my love for Italian meals here before. I’m pretty sure the cheese is more than half the reason we all love it though! Today I want to (re)share my recipe for Creamy Alfredo Sauce with Chicken. This is a recipe I shared way back in 2012. One of the first recipes I ever shared here come to think of it. Anyway, as all good recipes do, this one has changed a bit over the years and […]

After writing my post on useful lawns the other week, I developed an odd craving for fried dandelions. In case you’ve never tried them, you should! Here’s my recipe for fried dandelions. If you are wondering what fried dandelions taste like, I would say they have a southern tang. Something like fried okra perhaps but not as slimy. Of course, anything truly fried makes me think of the south lol. When you are picking the dandelions, keep in mind that […]
Gluten Free Gingerbread Men for the Holidays
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
I don’t know about you, but there is just something about gingerbread that says Christmas. Mother has a lovely thick and gooey gingerbread cake that she often makes and it disappears quickly. However, it’s the little gingerbread men that hold the greatest appeal to a child. A few months ago my son ended up with a nasty rash that only went away after removing gluten from his diet. Of course this made me sad as I thought of all the […]

Are you looking for a cookie that is just as much an energy boosting snack, as a treat? If so, these peanut butter oatmeal raisin cookies will be perfect! Recently I had a craving for oatmeal raisin cookies, but felt like I should be making more of a protein snack than just a sweet cookie. I looked online for a recipe first. While the cookies were delish, they were far too sweet. Back to the drawing board. It took a […]
Making Pon Haus~ A Family Favorite
Disclaimer: A Proverbs 31 Wife uses Affiliate links and ads to support this site. Read full disclosure here.
German recipes: pon haus and scrapple are considered the same thing by many. After doing a quick pon haus and scrapple recipe search on Google, I disagree. In fact, my pon haus recipe isn’t much like the recipes I found online either. My method of making pon haus is pretty simple compared to some. Scrapple and pon haus do have one thing in common. They use broth from bones and other parts of a pig, that would otherwise be considered […]

Cereal is our go-to breakfast most mornings, but sometimes I like to fix this quick and simple breakfast casserole.

Next morning it goes in the oven and while I’m getting dressed, breakfast is baking. 🙂 Sadly this recipe calls for milk, cheese and onion, so it […]

What is the best baby oil? Probably the best is an all natural oil that both you and your baby love. 🙂 For me the best baby oil is one I created by infusing herbs into a mixture of organic oils. Oils like olive and coconut and herbs like lavender, rose and others. There are many benefits to making your own baby products. The number one benefit is if you make them, you control the ingredients and the quality. The […]

Celery Powder; one of the many seasonings I use very regularly. Onion, celery, and garlic powder, are all natural flavor enhancers that I use all the time.

A beef recipe can often make a cheap meal. Especially if that beef recipe is a casserole like my Mexican Roll-ups makes.
