Last month I shared with you that I am participating in LittleFarmFolk’s #MAKEBREAD365 challenge. In January we made everyday sandwich bread and my choice was oatmeal bread. You can read all about that here. The February challenge is focaccia which is a large, flat Italian bread sprinkled with olive oil, salt and often herbs. AnContinue reading “February Bread Challenge: Focaccia”

Oatmeal Bread
One of my goals this year is to make more bread. I love to make bread! I love the process, the smell of the bread cooking and of course the eating of a warm loaf. Making homemade bread always makes me think of my mom who made a loaf of bread, hot rolls or cinnamonContinue reading “Oatmeal Bread”
Stephenson’s Apple Fritter Recipe and more
I have written before about my love for the old Stephenson’s Apple Orchard and Restaurant which closed several years ago. You can read about that here. Thanks to a friend I found a new apple orchard that I also love, Johnson Farms in Belton, Missouri. They are much more than an apple orchard, and areContinue reading “Stephenson’s Apple Fritter Recipe and more”
Little Ducklings Quilt
In a just under one week we will be welcoming grandbaby number 8! We are so blessed to have so many little one’s in our family. As soon as I found out the baby was going to be a boy, I begin thinking about the quilt I would make for him. About two years agoContinue reading “Little Ducklings Quilt”
Halloween Quilt
Although I am a huge lover of fall, especially the month of October, Halloween has never been a favorite day of mine. I think it goes back to the days when my girls were little, having spent a hard day at work, then needing to rush home (in the dark no less) trying to getContinue reading “Halloween Quilt”
Two pre-cut fabric quilts and my favorite quilt so far.
Last January I discovered a new quilt shop here in Kansas City, KC Maker Studio, that was having on-line quilt classes during the pandemic. The series of classes available on Saturday mornings introduced the different types of pre-cut fabrics and patterns that could be used with them. For a nominal fee, I was provided withContinue reading “Two pre-cut fabric quilts and my favorite quilt so far.”
Stephenson’s Apple Farm
Every year at this time I patiently wait for Stephenson’s Apple Cider to show up in my local grocery store. There are several other brands that appear weeks before Stephenson’s but I never purchase anything else. For me, Stephenson’s is the thread that runs through my years of fall activities and holidays. Hot mugs ofContinue reading “Stephenson’s Apple Farm”
Texas Flag Quilt
My first grandson who just turned seven is a born and bred Texan. Besides his two bicycles and legos, he loves his cowboy boots, goes to the Rodeo each year and has even participated in a mutton busting event. Several months ago Levi told me his baby blanket that I made for him was tooContinue reading “Texas Flag Quilt”
Air Fryer Attempts: Potato Chips and Donuts
My sister and her husband love their air fryer so much that they upgraded to a bigger model and lent me their original one to try out for myself. We have made pork chops, onion rings, fish and a few other things. Most have been pretty good. The air fryer does a great job onContinue reading “Air Fryer Attempts: Potato Chips and Donuts”
The Easiest Bread You Will Ever Make
My mom loved to bake bread. Every Sunday we would have either a loaf of homemade bread, cloverleaf rolls, cinnamon rolls or my favorite, cinnamon bread. She never used a recipe, just magically produced those delightful treats off the top of her head. When I became an adult I made her come to my houseContinue reading “The Easiest Bread You Will Ever Make”
