The Easiest Fresh Pizza Sauce

Posted on February 5, 2018 by Jamie H

Make fresh pizza sauce with tomatoes straight from the garden. No cooking involved, so it’s really fresh tasting! Updated: I’ve been making this recipe for about 10 years now, and we still love it. I thought it was time to update the post with some better pictures, along with a few tips. You can add a dash of cinnamon to give this fresh pizza sauce even more flavor, but it’s also perfect just how it is. This sauce is a bit thinner than pizza sauces that are cooked first (cooking them takes out a lot of the liquid from the

How to Can Salsa

Posted on July 26, 2016 by Kerry

Learning How to Can Salsa is not terribly difficult and you can make it exactly like you prefer. It’s a great way to preserve the harvest from your garden. We love salsa in this household. I canned a lot of it last year. And I plan on canning a lot more this year. Canning salsa is not a difficult task. And a great way to be able to eat your garden harvest throughout the year. The first steps and the last steps of canning diced tomatoes are very similar to the first and last steps of How to Can Salsa.

Orange Poppy Seed Vinaigrette

Posted on January 13, 2015 by Jamie H

Orange Poppy Seed Vinaigrette is a fun way to change up your salads! I know that with the New Year, many of us have resolved to eat healthier this year. I’m a firm believer that if your version of “healthy” is really bland and boring food, you’re bound to fall off the healthy wagon quickly. That’s why I love this Orange Poppy Seed Vinaigrette– it adds so much flavor to a salad! One of the greatest parts of a vinaigrette is that it’s really simple and quick to throw together, but it will last well in the refrigerator. So if

Raspberry Syrup

Posted on July 29, 2014 by Jamie H

Make up a mason jar or two of this raspberry syrup, and have the taste of summer all year long! I’ve long been making raspberry jam from the abundant raspberry bushes my parents have. They are so generous to share the abundance with us! This year, I wanted to try some new recipes, so I made Very Berry Coffee Cake, and this delicious Raspberry Syrup. I had this idea of pouring raspberry syrup over our homemade waffles or pancakes, or maybe even over vanilla ice cream. Yum! I had a bit of a hard time finding a raspberry syrup recipe

Macho Taco’s Secret Taco Sauce – My Farewell to Psych

Posted on March 26, 2014 by Lucy

Psych is ending! Tonight! I’m a little sad. I love that show. I tend not to get overly attached to shows. I really enjoy them for a bit and then I get bored. But I have enjoyed Psych season after season. I have enjoyed Shawn and Gus and their silliness all while solving crime. Seriously, it’s a fun show and I’m glad I will be able to catch reruns of the show! I knew I wanted to make something from the show for the series final. But I just couldn’t decide what to make. There has been a lot of

How to Make Chicken Stock: The Easy Way

Posted on October 10, 2013 by Lucy

Find out how to make chicken stock, the easy way for a rich stock free of preservatives & chemicals. I shared how to make “roasted” chicken in your Crockpot last Thursday. Today, I’m going to share how to make easy homemade chicken stock also in your crockpot using your leftovers from the Crockpot Lemon Garlic Whole Chicken or another whole chicken. I learned how to do this from 100 days of real food and actually that was where I first saw the idea of cooking a whole chicken in a crockpot. Once you have cooked your crockpot chicken and taken all your

Alfredo Sauce

Posted on October 9, 2013 by Kerry

Thursdays are our days to have pasta. I get tired of the same ole tomato sauce every Thursday. I decided to mix it up this month. We are having alfredo sauce. This sauce is rather versatile. You can use it with fettuccine, you can add chicken, you can use it with tortellini, you can pretty much have it with it whatever you want. I found this recipe on The Pioneer Woman‘s site. I should have doubled it. I will give you the doubled recipe, but the pictures show it not doubled. It was barely enough sauce for the Hardworking Husband

Creamy Poppyseed Dressing (September Goal)

Posted on September 24, 2013 by Kerry

I am still on a mission to learn to make all my food myself. I don’t always do too well at this especially while moving. But we do try to eat at home 5 nights (if not more) a week. And I try to use all clean ingredients (no preservatives, no artificial sweeteners, etc). But I still use salad dressings that are full of preservatives. I have two favorite dressings – poppyseed dressing & Vidalia onion dressing. The Vidalia onion dressing I use is all natural. So I’m going to not worry about it. But the poppyseed dressing isn’t and

Basil Pesto

Posted on September 3, 2013 by Kerry

Even though I’m only about 3/4 unpacked from moving, I’ve decided to take a trip with my mom to Denver to visit our good friends. We won’t be able to go again until spring because of the snow. So off we go. I can finish unpacking while its snowing. As I prepared to go and leave the Hardworking Husband behind, I needed to work on the plants a little. The basil was well beyond needing to be harvested. So I took the scissors to it. I decided since I didn’t have a lot of time I would just make pesto

June’s Goal – Chocolate Syrup

Posted on June 5, 2013 by Kerry

About a month ago, we ran out of chocolate syrup. The Hardworking Husband wanted me to buy more, but I wanted to try my hand at making it. I saw Alton Brown making it one day. It didn’t look too hard, but I just hadn’t gotten around to it until now. Chocolate Syrup 1 1/2 cups water 3 cups sugar 1 1/2 cups Dutch processed cocoa 1 Tbsp vanilla 1/4 tsp salt 2 Tbsp white corn syrup In a medium sauce pan, mix water and sugar. Bring to a boil. While waiting for sugar mixture to boil, measure out cocoa,
