Yesterday I found a site that teaches you how to make butter and today I searched through my suggestions and found this molding technique for butter.

How do you keep the kids entertained and still allow them to help with the holiday meal or any meal? You have them make butter!
All it takes is some heavy cream, a jar and whole lotta shaking going on. This might be best with more than one child, so they can share the shaking part. The site uses a … Read More ...
Thanksgiving may be easier this year than I thought. I have two slow cookers, one for everyday use and a larger one for potlucks. I found a stuffing recipe to use and now I also have one for the turkey breast. I could possibly get my Christmas cards started a day early.
This would also work during the work week … Read More ...
Stuffing or dressing? I guess it all depends on where you are located. I’ve always known it as stuffing.
I love my slow cooker, but for some reason I never think to use it for special occasions to help with the meal. This is perfect, because I don’t have enough pans or space in my kitchen. One less item to … Read More ...

This second drink may become my daughter’s favorite this year! She is a hot chocolate addict and she loves peanut butter. I think I might even add a mini peanut butter cup or chocolate and peanut butter chips with Marshmallows before serving!

I love purple potatoes! I’ve never seen purple sweet potatoes. This side could be a hit or miss, because some people just can’t get past the beautiful color. So if you think your guests will be freaked out, you can still make this recipe with regular sweet potatoes. How beautifully this would pop along side the orange, red and brown … Read More ...
