Peach Crumb Cake
For all of y’all who know me and have heard me talk in my middle Georgia southern drawl, here’s a Georgia Peach recipe just for you.
May is almost gone and in June peaches are ready for the eatin’, ready to be bitten into with all their juicy sweetness dribbling down your chin. While I love to eat fresh [...]
Every one’s breath stinks in the morning!
Questions and comments I’ve heard a lot recently:
“How do you get it all done?!”
“Your house is always so clean, what is your secret?”
“Your children sit so still and behave so well in church.”
“How do you manage to make so many things from scratch and still have time to prepare meals?”
“You’re so hospitable and entertaining seems to come so easy [...]
13 Tips to Help your Child Sleep
Infants
Whenever possible be sensitive to your infants need for sleep. If baby is sleepy, let her sleep. Watch your baby more than your watch.
Discern between a sad cry (abandoning) and a protest cry (letting her learn to fall asleep unassisted). If you determine that baby is sleepy, yet doesn’t want to lay down, perhaps you [...]

Blast from the Past: Bible, just another subject?
I’ve been pondering of late whether Bible is sometimes seen as just another subject in a Christian homeschool. I’m not saying it is wrong to have a subject in “Bible” as you would math or language, but wouldn’t it be better if we actually lived in such a way that the Bible was lived out and talked about and taught as [...]
Basic Meatloaf Recipe
I found this in The Fannie Farmer Cookbook. I love this simple, yet exhaustive cookbook and use it often. Tonight my father-in-law said he liked this recipe I made over my mother-in-law’s. I’ll check tomorrow if he’s still alive.
Ingredients
2 cups freshly made bread crumbs
1 onion, chopped fine
2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 pounds ground beef
2 tablespoons Worcestershire [...]
Bookshelf Markers
My children love to read. They also love to make a mess out of the bookshelves…or at least it seems as if they do. J
I decided to come up with a remedy. A bookshelf marker. When a book is taken out a marker is put in its place. Each marker is color coded to [...]
THE. Best. Whole Wheat Chocolate chip cookie. EVER.
I am happy to announce that I have found the recipe for the perfect whole wheat chocolate chip cookie. I’ve made these cookies many times now…ahem…we’ll not go there.
I served these for dessert to our Preacher who would not eat a crumb of anything whole wheat. I waited until he had devoured many and [...]
Strawberry Ice Cream
Don’t forget to see what’s cooking in my kitchen this week.
I’m the Kitchen of the Week at Happy to be at Home!
We have an abundance of raw cream that I am trying to find uses for. I went searching for ice cream recipes that don’t need an ice cream maker. Who wants to lug one [...]
