Some might be thinking it’s early to be thinking about 11 homemade Christmas gift set ideas, but it isn’t if you make all of those gifts yourself. A lot of us who make gifts have to plan ahead for production time, curing stages, or steeping times. I have been teaching a class at our home...
My husband finally broke down and got a new car. Well, it’s a lightly used car…and I insisted. The thing is, his lovely 1995 Toyota Corolla was so rusted that when he went to get a shock replaced (he couldn’t budge it himself… and we found out why), our friend said that he was not...
The first time I made ricotta cheese it was by accident. About two years ago I was making homemade yogurt and the yogurt got too hot (yes, I turned on the oven and forgot it was on…twice). The curds separated from the whey making a wonderful Ricotta cheese! Yea, but I still didn’t know how...

The title gluten free zucchini pizza and More seemed fitting since most people who grow zucchini have zucchini and more! I love growing zucchini with small children. It’s a vegetable that the kids can pick from the garden every few days once it starts to get ready. To keep up with the bounty, you’ll need...
