I use some of my excess fabric! and some more of my left over yo-yos to make this pillow! I love it!

Freezer jam addiction

I made strawberry freezer jam today! I think I have a jam addiction. I now have all of this strawberry jam. 10 jars of blackberry freezer jam and also some strawberry freezer jam Marwayne made for us when she was here. So I guess I am not a cookie mom I am a freezer jam mom!

GOAL DONE

We have finished a huge goal in our lives.. Which was to get Whitney Potty trained. She is actually both potty trained day and night!! Yes we had some rough days but we actually got it done! I am glad that I did try so early. Even though I do believe that when the child is ready they can do it all by themselves. But practice,practice practice does not hurt either.

Dutch apple pie

DUTCH APPLE PIE
this is wonderful recipe for Dutch
Apple Pie, made entirely from food storage ingredients. With a year old can of dehydrated apples already sitting on my kitchen counter

Storage Ingredients

Filling:

4 cups dehydrated apples, firmly packed

4 cups water

2/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon

Bring water to a boil in a 3 quart pan. Add apples, stir and let stand for 5 minutes. Add sugar, flour and cinnamon to apples. Cook, stirring constantly until thick and bubbly. Pour into an oiled or sprayed 7 x 11 inch pan. (We buttered our pan, because we could.) The main difference I noticed about this recipe was that in preparing the apples this way created a very VERY luscious, almost caramel-like, filling.



Topping:

1/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup flour

1/4 cup butter

Cut butter into flour and sugar until crumbly.

Sprinkle crumb topping over the apple filling.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 55 minutes.

Serve hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or half and half.

WE LOVED THIS DUTCH APPLE PIE!!! If you have dehydrated apples in your storage you should definitely try this recipe. If you don’t have dehydrated apples in your storage,

get some.

family tradition

We have decided that our new familytradition is to eat food around different holidays.
So for St. Patricks day- we ate green eggs for breakfast. Zack said he would not eat them but Whitney loved them. And for dinner we had red potatoes and cornbeef. Nope I do not like boiled cabbage so we did not have that. But we still had a great dinner.
