Update on Hubby

Well, my husband had his check up from surgery yesterday. They said he can resume normal activity. He still has pain but hopefully it will subside completely soon.

I have to say that it has been a very rough two weeks. I got a small taste of what it is like to be a single parent. I honestly don't know how they do it. I wasn't even working during the day and I was exhausted. The kids were home all of the time for spring break and I know that was some of it.

I'm sorry for neglecting my blog lately but I have had to catch up on so many things. I'm hoping that I will have more time this week. So things should get back to normal. Thank you for bearing with me. More yummy recipes to come. :)

God bless,
Amanda

I hope everything is okay! I've enjoyed your blog (once I finally had a chance to visit) and would hate to see you disappear. However, I know that family comes first, not the computer!

Salt-Free Ranch Dressing Mix

I don't know about you but I really enjoy ranch dressing. The stuff in the bottle is okay, but if you look at the ingredients it contains some not so good stuff like MSG and added sugar. It also has a lot of added sodium. I'm trying to watch my sodium so I decided to make a salt-free ranch mix, then I can control the salt whenever I make the dressing or add it to a recipe. It's super easy to make your own ranch mix. If you make a batch of this up, you can have it already on hand to make ranch dressing or add it into other recipes. Let's get started!

Then place in a contai

A Civil War Recipe..... Oatmeal Pie

Princess came home with an assignment to to a Civil War project. There were several options but she and I always gravitate to the ones that involve cooking. So we chose to make a recipe from the Civil War time to share with her class. Can I just say how grateful I am for the internet when it comes to these school projects? We looked online and found many different recipes. I wanted one that used ingredients I already had on hand and hopefully one that would be a bit tasty. I finally found a forum where people were sharing Civil War recipes and someone had shared one for Oatmeal Pie from Charleston, South Carolina. Apparently, during the Civil War, pecans were in short supply. So oatmeal was subbed for pecans to make a sort of mock pecan pie. This recipe is very tasty and really easy. It does remind me of a pecan pie, but at the same time a little reminiscent of an apple crisp because of the oatmeal and the cinnamon. Very delicious! I'm hoping her class really enjoys it.
