Banana Oat Bread

It never fails… No matter how much I try to carefully count out the number of bananas I think our family will consume before they turn super-ripe, I often end up with a few extra that ripen beyond what we like to eat. I have two other banana recipes (another bread, and some…

S’more Cookie Bars

Weekly Menu Plan, Sep 9 – Sep 15

I had fun last week trying three new recipes! We really liked the salad and the casserole, but the chicken & rice was just so-so. I think the new recipes kept me sticking to my menu plan because I was looking forward to trying new things. I’m finally starting to get used to…

Kitchen Tip: Removing Scratches on Porcelain

Do you have any porcelain that looks like this? It’s unfortunate, but it’s not permanent! You can easily remove these marks with a little help from Bar Keepers Friend. The first time I tried to find Bar Keepers Friend in the store, I couldn’t. Your best bet is to look near the powdered…

Weekly Menu Plan, Sep 2 – Sep 8

My family came to visit this past weekend, and we were able to accomplish so much around the house and on the acreage! My mom also bought a large box of peaches, so I plan to use a few this week to make this salad. I will probably end up making a peach…
