  • I'm putting my sourdough starter to good use today and trying out some new cookie recipes for the Christmas season. Because you have to bake cookies while decorating for Christmas, right? I tried three brand new recipes, and two were keepers - not a bad day!

    I absolutely love that you have the grandma style and own it like a queen!! I love it too as my grandma raised me and it just gives this cozy vibe that you cannot get with stark modern lines or striving for perfection in buying everything brand new. You have a talent for bringing the old forgotten things back to life! Love watching your channel, thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home!

    Beautiful job! Your photography is beautiful. I was a wedding photographer for 18 years. I used the cannon mark 3 and mark 4. If you start using the program mode and manually update the ISO u can not worry and go with confidence. Photography is also largely personal interpretation. All of your work is beautiful!

    I love using our mini carpet and furniture cleaner! It is absolutely satisfying, the disgusting water that comes out after 😂 and I love your "grandma" cozy home. We also don't have a brand spanking new home. We love thrifting, the whole family, even my 5 year old. There's a story behind every item. I cannot wait to try your cookie recipes, those are my favorite, no cakey cookies for us. ❤Merry Christmas!

    Honey I don’t think your Christmas tree is old lady. I think it’s traditional and how it should be. I was only able to put a pencil tree up this year because ( I too was a nurse) and I have some arthritis in one knee and I forgot to ask the kids when they were here at thanksgiving to get my things down for me. I’m not going up to the attic alone if I fall I’m alone. You look darling in your dress. I do have those wreaths and did not spend much either. I’ll be alone for Christmas so pencil tree is perfect. Oh gosh RUclipsrs decorate way too early. I just put my tree up yesterday ( Dec 19). I am from Puerto Rico and yes our Christmas celebration is very long into January :)

    I recently FERMENTED mu Rolled Oats before I tried them in a new Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookie Recipe. I was EXTREMELY PLEASED with the Texture! It was Smooth w/o the hard chew you get with Raw Oats...a great use for Raw Milk Whey, as I added about a 1/4 cup to the water to cover. Let rest for 4-6 hours.😉👍🏼 Fermenting the Grain makes it more easily digestible.

    Help! Sourdough lemon drop cookies spilled all over the baking sheet into oven! I followed the measurements although 2.5 cups flour doesn’t seem enough? What did I do wrong? Love the recipe concept and willing to try again but worse than burnt popcorn is burnt cookies because of the butter …made a complete mess of my oven!

      We actually had a screen there since this was our first time having a little one and a wood stove but one of the first words he learned was HOT! Lol, I think seeing the flame through the glass must trigger something instinctual bc he never goes past the hearth and says hot and points any time there’s a fire - so no screen now!
