Cheddar Bay Biscuits Recipe
We don’t make a habit of eating out too often, because it’s way cheaper (not to mention healthier in most cases) to make our own food! However, when we do eat out, one of our favorite places is Red Lobster! Cheddar Bay Biscuits are a huge part of this decision! I try to limit myself to one or two as to save room for the upcoming appetizers and main dish, but it’s so difficult! These biscuits are heavenly, especially when they’re fresh and hot! The great thing about making them at home is that they can always be fresh and hot! This recipe is super easy, and DELICIOUS! The secret…

Learning to Live or Living to Learn | Labels & Boxes
About one year ago, everything I thought I knew started to change. Many of my beliefs and ideas about life, living, children & more started to instead become questions… I started researching everything from natural living to different parenting styles, & everything in between. After many hours of reading, watching videos, asking questions in forums, & observing those who lived these lifestyles in action, I felt fairly confident to “label” myself a Crunchy Christian mama practicing Attachment Parenting and it felt good to know who I was. However, flash forward a year, to present day, and here I am thinking how absolutely stupid and downright restrictive these (or any) labels…

Learning to Live or Living to Learn | Education
When I had my first child, who is turning 10 years old next month (oh Mylanta, where does the time go?), I was in a very different place than I am now. Understandably so… Nevertheless, I honestly, like most young parents, didn’t know what I was doing! At 17 years old, I knew very little about the world, relationships, child-rearing, work-ethic, God, handling money, relating to others, education… the list goes on! Flash forward to present day, more specifically, around when my second child was born (nearly 1 year ago now!), and there have been lots of changes, indeed! I’ve done lots of soul searching in the past 3-4 years,…

Let Thy Food be Thy Medicine
Confession: I used to silently giggle at coworkers who lovingly called their diets a lifestyle, and I now admire such dedication and strive to better myself and improve my family’s overall health and environmental footprint. There are still some things that I’m not completely sold on when it comes to revamping our diets and way of life, but I am willing to invest the time to research all facets and make a wise and informed decision. See, I’m a very opinionated person, and if you know me personally, you are probably violently nodding in agreement. BUT, when it comes to non life and death matters, for the most part I…

Flavorful & Delicious Chicken and (flat) Dumplings
Now, when I say chicken and dumplings, you may envision your momma’s chicken and dumplings, with fluffy moist clouds floating alongside chopped veggies in chicken broth… but these are not your momma’s chicken and dumplin’s!!!!!!! My love affair with chicken & dumplings goes way back. Way, way back. Back to my momma! She doesn’t do much cookin’ anymore, but when she did, the most memorable meals from my childhood included chicken & dumplings, creamed chipped beef, & fried bologna sandwiches… Now you probably wouldn’t find any of those things in your standard 5-Star Restaurant, but if I ruled the world, things would be better, I promise… Anyhow, thinking about…

“Super Bowlness” Wings
Not quite as saucy as the final product should look…. I think this was near the end of the batch! First of all, I hope you’re wearing socks while reading this, because they are about to get knocked off. And, if you’re not wearing socks, well, I don’t know what will happen… so please go get some socks… I’ll wait… Alright, are you wearing socks now? Great, we can begin! Before I divulge my deepest darkest secret recipe (it’s more coveted than Bush’s Baked Beans – atleast I like to pretend that it is, and I didn’t tell my dog how it’s done, so I’m pretty well protected there…) I…

Back to Basics | Homesteading in Today’s World
When most people hear things like cloth diapering, homemade soaps, and home remedies replacing conventional medicine, they think back to stories maybe their parents or grandparents told… A simpler time, when you couldn’t just hop in your gas-guzzling sports car and drive 30 feet to the nearest shop for pretty much anything, when men brought home the bacon and women stayed home and cooked said bacon, and when folks made decisions for their families based upon experience and knowledge rather than trusting what they said on TV. I’ve been tinkering in the “natural realm” for several months now, and while most consider many of these things ‘alternative’, it’s actually quite…

Modern Day Holocaust – The Tragedy of the ProChoice Movement
Imagine with me here, it’s 1895, middle of the summer, you’re walking down the street, and you hear a small child crying out. You look around, and quickly spot a house ablaze, with a young boy, who couldn’t be more than 5 or 6, tears running down his cheeks, in the upstairs bedroom window. “Please help me, I don’t want to die!” he manages to choke out between crying and fighting for air. There is a ladder leaning up against the nextdoor shed, more than tall enough to reach the second story window, and rescue the boy. Now imagine if you could know that this boy was Adolf Hitler, and…

Coupons | To Have and to Hold
I’ve never been one to stick with hobbies/activities for very long. I don’t know if it’s lost interest, lost motivation, or sheer lazyness… but in my 26 years, I’ve tested quite a few waters, and none of them were suitable to hold my interest! I’ve been through karate, flute playing, piano playing, cub scout leader, college, several fast food jobs (big suprise there..), and probably more – none of which I stuck with. I believe I may have found my passion, although it’s become increasingly difficult – in my town anyway – to keep this going. Coupons… Now, I’ve heard of the ‘Extreme Couponing’ show from TLC before, and pretty…
