The title of this post is a little long. I could have just titled it Homemade Honey Mustard Dressing, because that’s really the star of the show here. But then there’s this salad that turned out to be the perfect combination of ingredients to pair with the dressing and I couldn’t just choose one or two ingredients to highlight. At the same time, I didn’t want to get completely carried away…Chicken, Avocado, Pear, Walnut and Read More
Canning Red Beets
It took me a little while to get this next blog post written, because we recently moved into our new house!!! It’s been exciting and exhausting, but we’re having fun making the house our home and adding a cozy factor to every room! And now another summer canning season has come and gone. To wrap up the canning series on the blog I’m ending with red beets! I don’t know if you’d agree that I saved the best for last, but I did save the easiest for last. My grandma and I canned 8 quarts of beets in the morning and still had plenty of time to spend the afternoon in Amish country having lunch and shopping with my Mom!

My Grandma was able to can some juice and open kettle tomatoes (that’s what pictured above and right below), but by last weekend when we had planned to can together, the tomatoes decided to Read More
Canning Green Beans
In June, I wrote on Instagram that canning posts were coming to the blog in July and then a few weeks ago I started to get nervous and edited that text to say August! But it’s July 30th, I canned green beans with Grandma on Friday and now Read More
Homemade Oven Fry Mix
It’s virtual Thursday, y’all! For my fellow 9-5 office workers, you likely understand that term. It’s also known as virtual Friday eve. Virtual Thursday is so much better than real Thursday, because it means your work week got trimmed down to a reasonable 4 days and you’re about to have some extra Read More
Homemade Taco Seasoning
There are a few ways to take your taco Tuesday to the next level and it starts with the basics: ditch the store bought seasoning packet and make your own seasoning mix! It’ll take you around five minutes to make and you probably already have all the ingredients in your kitchen. In every scenario, regardless of what I’m making, I always find the Read More
