Scott's Soccer Practice Bars

We found this recipe on a bag of some WF baking product and loved it.  One of the things I like about it is that it does not require corn syrup nor sweetened condensed milk that many of these sorts of recipes usually use.  Sometime I'll make these again and add a picture for you.

Holiday Ribbon Pie

Bread Pudding

Sliced Baked Potatoes

Buttermilk Spice Cake



     I just made this cake for the first time yesterday and it was a hit!   Moist as can be and a great fall treat!   I paired it up with a homemade butterscotch topping/filling which turned out to be a wonderful combination  (though you can use it with other cakes as well).    I've posted the recipes for both.   If you are avoiding sugar, this recipe is not for you right now, lol.

Oatmeal Cake

This is a very versatile recipe which can be a dessert, snack, or breakfast.  It is very filling and can be eaten plain or in a bowl with milk.  Great warm or cold ...good road food too!  We made this for our trip to Colorado last year. 

Gardening Update

We are, of course, back from camping.  Everything survived except the Oregano.  Some things, like the tomatillo, seemed to thrive on the low watering while we were gone.   The basil nearly died but thankfully we returned before the leaves got to the crunchy stage.  They were just terribly wilted but perked up after plenty of water.  

Seeds to Harvest Garden Update

Today, we are packing up for our camping trip to the Oregon Coast.  This year, we'll be gone for nine days, so I figured I'd better post an update.  By the time we get back, all our plants could be dead!

Signs of Life: Garden Update

    We've had a lot more sun these days with some intermittent rain so things are growing like crazy!  Check out our new arrivals :)  Pictured above is the first appearance of what I hope will end up as pickles!

Garden Challenge Update

As you know, I joined Olivia's Garden Challenge and it has been great to see what other's are doing and be able to get feedback from them as well.  Be sure to head on over there and see all the bounty!  Praying for poor Olivia would be a good idea as well since she got poison ivy on her eye! UGH!

Now that we are getting some hotter days things are really starting to grow around here.  We had a couple days of lots of rain (amazing how fast something grows in just one day after a rain) and then a lot of sun.
