We are cruising through the last week of school around here and we’re getting the itch to do all the things outside! Historically, Memorial weekend is either cool and raining or scorching hot in Southwest Minnesota. However, this weekend is shaping up to be one of the nicest ones we’ve had in a while. We are going to take full advantage of this wonderful weather and probably do most of our cooking outside. I know a lot of people getting ready to host some big parties for grad

I have a fun idea for you! It’s Springtime and my girls are picking up steam in the egg department. We have a busy household and while...

Handwritten recipes are my favorite! It’s March, and we’re getting so close to spring I can almost feel it! March is extra special for our family because of all the birthdays. My husband, youngest son and my Gramma Lou all celebrate their birthdays this month. And Gramma’s birthday is extra fun because it’s on St. Patrick’s Day! This year, we’re celebrating her 92nd birthday, and I thought it’d be the perfect time to share one of her most famous recipes—her chicken noodle hot

It’s February, and I know some of you may not agree, but I love the month of February! Whether it’s because spring is just around the...

It’s the end of January in Minnesota, and if you’ve never experienced a Minnesota winter, you're definitely missing out! While I’ve always appreciated the four seasons, the older I get, the less I enjoy the cold days of winter. Since I love gardening and being outdoors with my family and pets, I decided to bring some greenery inside to brighten up our home this week! Indoor Herb Gardening: Simple, Quick, and Delicious I like to keep things simple in the kitchen—quick and deli

We made it through Christmas! I hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday season. For us, the week between Christmas and New Year is a time for relaxing, baking, watching movies, playing games and enjoying the snow. We don’t host a huge New Year’s Eve party, but we do have a small get-together where everyone brings an appetizer or two to share. One of my all-time favorite appetizers to make is buffalo chicken dip, and it’s always a hit! If you’re looking for a simple a

It’s Christmas week! I hope you’ve finished all your preparations and are sipping hot chocolate by the fire while snow gently falls...

Happy Thanksgiving! I pray you’re able to spend time with friends and family this year. After the last couple of years, I feel we’ve all learned even deeper the importance of relationships. We’re excited to have a great week around here! Mostly, my girls are just thankful they’re not turkeys. Haha! Last year we did a “ chopped challenge ” with our Thanksgiving leftovers. If you haven’t tried this yet, check it out and give it a shot! It’s a fun activity with family and friend

Hello October! It’s pretty gorgeous here in Southwest Minnesota. We love autumn and all that goes with it! That includes football season....

Using the ingredients below, I managed to whip up a delicious breakfast sandwich in under 2 minutes! 2-Minute Breakfast Sandwich Recipe Ingredients: 1 egg 1 English muffin 1 slice of cheese (any type you like) 1-2 precooked sausage patties (you can substitute with Canadian bacon or ham) Salt and pepper to taste Micro

I love going to restaurants and being so excited to see any dish that includes hollandaise! I remember thinking that it has to be such an art to mix up a beautiful, velvety sauce like that. While I’d love for you to all think I’m an excellent and highly skilled chef (ahem...I’m not), I’m convinced anyone can whip up this creamy goodness! Easy and Delicious Hollandaise Sauce Recipe Ingredients 4 egg yolks 1 stick butter melted and hot 3 tsp lemon juice Pinch of salt Dash of pe

After indulging in a lot of delicious food over the 4th of July, I’ve had a tough time getting back on track with healthy eating. So, here I am, enjoying a salad out of a mason jar and thought I’d share some of my favorite easy salad recipes with you! Why Use Mason Jars for Salads? Mason jars are perfect for meal prep! They’re easy to fill, grab on the go and clean (just pop them in the dishwasher!). As a canner, I have plenty of mason jars on hand, but if you don’t, you can

Can you believe we’re heading into the 4th of July weekend? Summer seems to fly by, and before we know it, those long, sunny days are behind us. Whatever your plans are this weekend, I’ve got a fun, easy cookie recipe that’s perfect for any gathering! While I usually make these no-bake cookies at Christmas, I thought it would be simple to transform them into festive 4th of July firecracker cookies! With the perfect mix of salty and sweet, these cookies are always a crowd favo

It’s almost that time of year when we can taste summer! School is winding down, the weather is heating up and backyard BBQs are right around the corner. As an egg lover (which is a good thing considering I have 40 laying hens!), I love bringing egg-themed dishes to summer gatherings. Whether it’s deviled eggs, egg salad, or even an egg bake, eggs are always a crowd-pleaser. Today, I’m sharing a quick and easy appetizer—avocado egg salad! It’s not only delicious but also adds

Easter is probably my favorite holiday! Its meaning stretches far beyond little bunnies and egg hunts for me. My roots run deep in this holiday, and I’m so thankful for the ability to freely celebrate our risen Savior, Jesus! While I hold tight to these beliefs, I’ve always enjoyed the other activities Easter brings as well. I remember coloring eggs as a kid and the excitement of thinking about which colors I would choose. I also enjoy eating all things boiled eggs (egg salad

Do you need a fun, EASY and healthy breakfast for your family on St. Patrick’s Day? Look no further! I've got the recipe for you. Let it be known that I’m also totally on board with just pouring your family a bowl of Lucky Charms in a pinch. However, these days we’re trying to stay away from a lot of extra sugar. Plus, the girls are realizing it’s almost spring, so they're little laying machines! We have an abundance of eggs, so we'll be having fried eggs, scrambled eggs, poa
