I’ve been having a slight problem this pregnancy. And forgive me if I refer to being pregnant on each post… it’s just that it’s a huge part of my daily life, and not in a good way. Dear Third Child of Mine, I know someday you will be reading this …Read More

Bethany’s Thick & Rich Chocolate Sauce Recipe
I just can’t keep out of the kitchen, apparently! You up for one more recipe today? So we were nearly out of chocolate sauce, which would be a SIN around here considering one of my favorite morning drinks is a mocha mint cafe-au-lait (about 1/3 hot milk, 2/3 hot drip …Read More
Bethany’s Best Doughnuts Recipe
Today we had a day where I taught my kids how to make doughnuts with my BEST doughnuts recipe. I’ve tried a few different ones and these just come out great. They are cake doughnuts, not the raised kind – nice and dense, chewy, and I love them just plain …Read More
My Canning Recipe for Garbanzo Beans & Homemade Hummus
We’ve been eating a lot of homemade hummus over the last few years. The stuff is divine – packed full of “superfoods” like garbanzo beans, olive oil, sesame seeds and raw garlic, hummus is one of my favorite foods. My husband has asked me to pack it for his lunches …Read More

Vegetable Tortillas Recipe
As promised – my Vegetable tortillas recipe! Well, sorta. If you remember a week ago I did a pantry experiment to see how we’d do if we somehow couldn’t go shopping. My biggest thing was the lack of vegetables! And I refuse to eat mushy canned peas.

This one was a big-time pleaser, made from scratch, and took probably about 30 minutes. It was underbaked because of the convection oven I’m trying to use, so potentially needs a few tweaks. Basically it is just a wet biscuit crust patted into a 9×13 pan, then topped like a …Read More
Mediterranean Farfalle with spinach and feta cheese
Made this last night, I kinda threw it together to use up a costco-size container of baby spinach but it was a big hit!
Cinnamon rolls & Ballerina Girl’s 2nd birthday
Oh man, and boy does she ever ACT her age! lol. We had a really great time. My sister and her family came over on Saturday night and we had pizza. Ballerina Girl got lots of new books, hat and gloves, and a cool new easel chalkboard. She had a …Read More
I'm
a thirty-something wife and mother of two and I firmly believe that people
should be living life on their own terms. My terms involve
lots of domestic things, animals, and teaching my daughters to drive a
tractor. We're not on our property yet, but so far I've made it from
working city mother to country housewife. Follow along my journey with
me! I blog here at Uncle Dutch Farms and I also have another site at
