Throw out your Bisquick and try these pancakes! This recipe is simple and you get rid of all those chemicals in the mixes. Sift your dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. While it isn’t 100% necessary to sift the dry ingredients I do recommend it. The texture is definitely different. In a glass measuring cup […]
Tonight Mom and I visited the 2016 Clinton County Fair. I like looking at all the exhibits (and wishing I’d entered something) and the animals. It’s also a chance to eat some unhealthy food that’s only available a couple times a year. Normally when I visit a fair with animals I say things like, “I […]
For the month of July I will be reviewing the Pacific Bay Coffee Co. Costa Rican variety. I really enjoyed this coffee and below you’ll read why. First: a note on packaging. Their packaging is simple–brown coffee bags, a printed logo sticker, and a mailing label with the variety and roast date. It wasn’t mailed […]

A couple weeks ago we were planning to do some work outside over the weekend so Dad decided to cook a pork butt on the smoker. His smoked meats are delicious and we all love it when he decides to cook something. The following recipe is what he uses to season pork and beef before […]
In this part of the world when winter is over we’re all ready for something fresh. This Vegetable Pizza fits the bill perfectly. A lot of these vegetables are cool weather crops and they’ll be the first thing you see at your local farmer’s market. To start, you’ll need to spread crescent rolls out onto […]
For a good part of the month of May I was using a local coffee: Wood Burl Coffee in their variety “don pepe PANAMA” (I’m not sure if the capitalization there is styling…I assume it is). I wanted to visit 2nd Street Market in Dayton and I found that there was a local roaster, Wood […]
This is one of my favorite recipes to share with people! Ranch Dip Mix like you buy in the packets is easy to make, lasts a long time, and is so much healthier than the store bought stuff. The packets you buy at the store contain: salt, monosodium glutamate, dried garlic, modified food starch, dried […]
