I am getting to the end of our freezer supply of ground venison and sausage. This makes me sad because I’ll have to start coughing up more money for meat each week! At least it will be a chance to try out some new recipes. Here are some recipes I am making this week …

I love it when I can go “shopping” in my garden before I plan my meals for the week! We are getting a regular supply of tomatoes and peppers right now and our green beans are just starting to come in. I also harvested our first butternut squash and want to try it in …
My dear friend and reader Robyn is allowing me to share her fantastic DIY gift idea with y’all! I mailed her some of my homemade brownie mix as part of her birthday present (the recipe follows). The brownies were a big hit at her house so she decided to make some more mix and give it as a birthday …
