I should’ve taken a photo. This plant randomly popped up in our garden last spring and we let it grow… into a butternut squash that took over a good 1/3 of the garden and produced dozens of squash. So let’s just say my roasted butternut chicken recipe is a result of a bumper crop of squash! Even after giving tons of squash away, I still have a lot left in the garage and was trying to figure out how to […]

Ever buy veggies and realized you were tossing half of your money’s worth while prepping them? A CSA box is a very good example. The stems and outer leaves keep your veggies the freshest, but are they really good for nothing but compost after eating the actual veggies? Don’t toss those scraps, make veggie stock! A quart of veggie stock will cost you around $2, or you can make your own for almost free. Which would you prefer? To make […]

Sponsored posts are what keeps the lights on around here. 🙂 I love finding creative ways to share and showcase my favorite brands.

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 […]

Have you ever read the ingredient list on a loaf of bread? It’s ridiculous. Even the “healthy” breads have a list of ingredients a mile long! Well, not quite, but you get my point. I looked and looked for a healthy sandwich bread in the stores, and by healthy I mean less than 10 ingredients at the very least! 🙂 I did find something that I was comfortable with; in the freezer section with a price tag I was NOT […]

I don’t know about you, but I love bagels. Cinnamon raisin to be exact and that’s why I am sharing my cinnamon raisin bagel recipe with you today! Bagels can seem like a lot of work, first mixing the dough, then letting it raise, beating it down, forming the bagels, boiling the bagels and finally baking them. Okay, so they aren’t as easy as making bread. But honestly? From start to finish (and I grind my own flour), not counting […]
