I saved this one for a weekend even though I did it a while ago because it’s probably more realistic for someone who doesn’t work at home to bake on the weekends rather than some random Wednesday. Today’s craft challenge is to bake something. Bonus points if you do it with any kids who happen […]
Simple Strawberry Syrup
Yesterday was use up the old produce day here at the White House. First, I made banana bread (I have shared that recipe before), then I grabbed the soft strawberries that had been sitting in our fridge for a week and whipped up a quick strawberry syrup. I got this idea from The Slow Roasted […]
Clean Out the Fridge Green Smoothies

A Great Scrub for Cold Weather You Can Make in Minutes
I don’t know how it is where you live, but we’ve already had a cold snap here in Arkansas. And just about the minute the temperature drops below 40 degrees, my skin starts getting dry, itchy and flaky. In a few weeks my hands will be rough and scaly, with little cracks and red spots […]
