Merry Christmas 2011
Ahhhhhh! It feels good to sit down at the computer. For days, I have been running around here like a chicken with its head cut off. My home has transformed into Santa's Workshop and Christmas Factory. My hands have been busy creating, making, and baking. God sure did bless... »
Taco Soup
As I sit inside next to a roaring fire listening to the pitter-patter of raindrops gently hitting our metal roof, all I can think about is, "What a great day for soup." Seven years ago as I was trying to recover from a horrific car accident, one of my aunt's stayed the weekend with us to... »

Versatile Venison
It is deer season and my oldest son brought home an eight-point buck last week. He is very proud to be able to provide some meat for our family. A neighbor has already given us one of his deer.

Just in Time for the Holidays
Hoping to bring the joy of food into the lives of those who cannot eat wheat, I decided to write the Texas Homesteader Wheat-Free Cookbook. I know what it is like to receive the diagnosis of a food allergy. It is a sad moment. I have said it before,... »
