Nothing brings joy like stunning tulips in spring! … Continue reading Springtime and June

Easy Chocolate Pudding (Sugar Free) – Made With Sweet Potatoes

May 31, 2019July 5, 2019Leave a comment

This is my super easy recipe for chocolate pudding! Eating this reminds me of eating those chocolate pudding cups when I was a kid. I like to make a big batch of this and stash it in the fridge for a quick snack and it keeps for about 5 days in fridge. This pudding is … Continue reading Easy Chocolate Pudding (Sugar Free) – Made With Sweet Potatoes

New Yarn, Endless Possibilities…

April 30, 2019May 3, 2019Leave a comment

There's always a little bit of magic in each new ball of yarn. As you run your fingers over the soft wool, you think "I could make a hat, or a scarf, or maybe some gloriously warm socks for chilly mornings..." The possibilities are endless. Then you get the excitement of looking at patterns on … Continue reading New Yarn, Endless Possibilities…

It’s springtime! The local cherry trees have once again donned their festive pink blossoms, and the weather has finally warmed up again. It’s crazy to think that just 3 weeks ago there was still snow on the ground. Right now the skies are clear and blue, and temperatures are hovering in the 60’s. How amazing … Continue reading Adventures in Knitting! – The Honeycomb Cable Stitch

Knitting – My New Favorite Hobby!

February 4, 2019April 1, 20192 Comments

I’ve been knitting for about 4 weeks now, teaching myself to cast on by watching YouTube videos. I’ve learned how to fix those loose stitches at the end of rows (you slip the first stitch) and slowly but surely I’m starting to knit decent looking swatches of (mostly) orderly rows of knits and purls. I’m … Continue reading Knitting – My New Favorite Hobby!

Thanksgiving Chicken

A.K.A. the cheaper turkey... A lovely roast chicken rich with the Thanksgiving flavors of thyme, sage, and rosemary (and you don't have to make a gravy).

If you're looking for an #affordable alternative to a 20 lb turkey, you can make this delicious roast chicken for #Thanksgiving instead! This chicken cost about $12 for 4-6 servings. .
.
Some great things about this recipe are that it still has all those rich flavors that we associate with a Thanksgiving turkey, AND you don't even need to make a gravy! You can spoon the rich pan juices from this chicken over mashed potatoes and cornbread dressing to your heart's content. It will be just as delicious as any gravy, (with less work) promise. .
.
You can also make a great bone broth afterwards with the bones. Toss in a little leftover chicken into the broth along a few vegetables and you have a beautiful soup to warm you up on a cold day. .
