Winter Formal 2008

Using My Wheat!

Eating Healthy Again!
1) I received this wonderful "Healthy Cookbook" from Jennifer for Christmas. I love it.
2) I ordered some fresh wheat from my sister-in-laws ward.
3) Ground my wheat and made wheat bread (I finally found a recipe in this cookbook that I like for whole wheat bread).
4) Eat the homeade bread w/ honeybutter given to us from our wonderful neighbors.
Ask Kenny if he's happy that we're "eating healthy" again.

Courtney gave me the most wonderful Christmas present this year!
She worked for months on my recipes.
I used to spend hours hunting for my recipes in these folders.





She organized my Main Dish Recipes into this folder - It looks so nice. Each recipe is put into a protective sheet. No more food spilled on the recipe.

She organized all my Dessert recipes into this folder.
Thank you Courtney for spending many, many hours on this wonderful present for me. I have always wanted to do this, but never got around to it.
You're amazing!!!!!

Merry Christmas!
I hope each of you had as wonderful of a day as we
had.

Thanksgiving!

Lots of Good, Hot Homeade Food!

Cooking a Homeade Thanksgiving Dinner = TIME.

My Grandma Ruby was a good cook. Her family came to her house to enjoy her yummy food. One of her famous foods she was well known for was her homeade chocolate pie. She didn't have a recipe so she couldn't pass it down - BUT - I (her only granddaughter) found a recipe that is pretty darn close to hers. My brothers and my kids all look forward to me making it each year. (hope that doesn't sound conceded)

I didn't get a picture of my chocolate pie - The pie pictured is a lemon pie that I make each year for my mom.

I made whole wheat rolls this year instead of the white rolls. I'm still looking for a recipe that I like for those. Any suggestions????



We had a great Thanksgiving
