Luxury for Mom: Started off the early morning with 1/4 cup of Mariebelle Aztec Hot Chocolate… just enough for me to handle in the dark hours of the dawn… Out of the Mouths of Babes Yena’s Quote of the Month: “Mom, what’s the name of that movie, Princess Diarrhea?” (Princess Diaries)… oh my child, so blessedly out [...] Need to use up these things before we leave.

However, I don’t complain much because 1) we always get to go with him since we’re homeschoolers and 2) he gets sent to places where [...] Last week when we were in Cincinnati, I noticed a different package in the baking aisle at Meijer: beet sugar, which as far as I know, I haven’t tried. So I bought a package — so far so good, can’t really taste a difference in my coffee… I’m baking something for SHF this [...] A friend was asking for wheat-free alternatives to breading for cutlets so I’m posting this here: you can use a mixture of rice flour and cornmeal. i blend this in a blender with seasonings until the cornmeal is ground finely, unless you like the coarse texture of regular cornmeal. you can also use an eggless dip of [...] |
