Hi Friends!! I have a fantastic review and giveaway to share with y’all!

I like to cook big meals for my family most of the time…but there are occasions when I am short on time and I want something that is quick and tasty to give the fam for supper!
Here is where Farm Rich comes in! They have so many different varieties to choose from! You have products from cheese sticks to mini pizza bites! All of which are delish, filling, quick, and easy on the pocket. I can open a bag of pizza bites and cheese sticks and within no time I have something tasty the family can eat!
Not only are these Farm Rich products good for a quick weeknight supper but they are great for a quick lunch, party, or just anytime! Nothing is easier! I tried them two different ways….cooked in the microwave and baked in the oven. A lot of times things warmed in the microwave tend to be soggy and not very tasty but not with Farm Rich! The microwaved pizza bites and cheese sticks were very tasty and held up to being warmed in the microwave! Yay!

When I did them in the oven I just laid them in a single layer on a baking sheet and in no time we had hot crispy pizza bites and cheese sticks!! Over all these Farm Rich products was a big hit in our house! I look forward to grabbing a bag again! Yummm

Spreadable Butter

So, everyone seems to be on a health kick these days….including me! I have excess lbs I must shed and so we have turned to a “more veggie-less meat” lifestyle! It’s really going good, I  might add! Everyone is feeling better and looking better to boot! Woohoo

As part of our healthy lifestyle we are making the switch to less processed food and wayyyy less sugar!

Anyway, I also made the switch to using real butter, coconut oil, and olive oil! I hate to say this but processed foods are so unhealthy! So, back to the butter….I made the switch to real butter and love it! Yay! The only thing I did not like about it was that it was not very spreadable unless you leave it out on the counter to soften for a while! So, my friend Debbie shared how to make real butter more spreadable! It’s super easy to make!! You can check out her blog HERE! She is one crafty lady if I do say so myself! <3

You let 1lb of butter come to room temp and then mix in 1 cup of olive oil or coconut oil. Once that is mixed well you add in one cup of water and blend til creamy! Store in an air tight container and keep in the frig. There you go! Easy Peasy!

Don’t that look yummy! I used olive oil this batch but think I’m going to use coconut oil  next time because of coconut oils anti-fungal properties….and I love the taste of it! yum

I love grannies!

Hi friends! I wanted to show y’all what I’ve been working on! I can’t decide if I’m going to keep them for myself or send them to friends and family! Decisions…Decisions! Ha!

Here is a trivet I made recently:

The second one is kinda backwards! I put the granny round as the back and straight stitches as the front…but I like how it turned out!

Join for FREE! Craftsy Block of the Month Club!

The Craftsy Block of the Month is a completely free, year-long online class instructed by expert quilter, Amy Gibson. There are 12 installments, each one posted on the first day of every month. The first 10 months/installments teach our students two new exciting blocks (brand new designs or funky spins on traditional blocks). The last two months are dedicated to finishing the quilt. At the end of the class, our students will have full-size and one-of-a-kind quilts. Like all of our classes, students can view it whenever it’s convenient for them, and can watch them however many times they’d like. It’s filmed in high-definition, and it’s fully interactive---students can ask Amy questions as they go.
