My coffee-addicted friends, do you like to have your coffee with a splash of creamer? Okay, maybe a lot of creamer? So do I. (Perhaps when I get older and my taste-buds kill over, I can finally drink black coffee.) Ever look at the ingredients listed on the back of your normal every-day coffee creamer? […]

Honey Wheat Bread (video how-to included!)
After a year and a half of consistent baking of bread, I am so very happy to share with you my knowledge of what I’ve learned over the many many times of making bread from scratch! We enjoy homemade bread because we know what is in it, and because it the taste is not even […]
Fresh Strawberry Freezer Jam
Mmm, tis’ the season for strawberry pickin’! I was hoping to get this post out a few weeks ago when strawberries were truly in their growing prime, but it is still not too late, go out and go strawberry picking and enjoy the fruits of your labor (haha, no pun intended there!) by making some […]
Blueberry BBQ Sauce
One morning, not too long ago, the hubs and I went blueberry picking down the street. It was perfect – the sun was just barely rising, we were alone, and the blueberries were almost as big as your face! Well, not that big but you know what I mean. And the whole time we were […]
Hilltop Pesto

Zesty Roasted Broccoli
Broccoli. When you read that word, I can imagine most of you out there kinda squirming in your seat. Yuck, broccoli. Gross, broccoli. Or worse, it made some of you have terrible flash-backs to when your parents were force-feeding you the little “green trees” telling you that it was good for you, even though all you could […]
Homemade Peanut Butter
As I gobble a big heaping spoonful of peanut butter, I can’t help but think, “Mmm this hygrogenated vegetable oil sure does the body good!” Huh? Go into your pantry, grab your peanut butter and it will be a pretty safe bet that your peanut butter is not just made out of peanuts. In most […]
Homemade Lipton’s Onion Soup Mix
Okay guys, this is dangerous stuff. When you mix a spoonful of this mix in with sour cream it tastes like sour cream and onion potato chips…as I said, dangerous! This is recipe is for the purists out there who are trying to get away from the processed foods. Who would have thought that there’s […]
