    A Christine Cookbook! C'mon. Awesomeness

    Christine, when Haley (and each child) goes out on their own, take your handwritten recipe book to a copy shop. Have them color copy the recipes (color so it includes the ink color and the spills and everything that make it special). Then have them laminate the front and back covers and put into a spiral binder. We did this with my mother-in-law's recipe book and it made a special gift for the kids/grandkids. Her handwritten recipes are super special.

      All my great aunts and my maternal grandma put together a recipe book, Jagger Family Recipes. They are copies with their hand written notes from over the decades. Super special memento that was given to us at the last family reunion all the families were able to attend back in the 90's. I still use it.

      I have a theory that measuring cups and always just one sock out of a pair somehow magically turn into extra Tupperware lids! And when you can’t find the right Tupperware lid for a dish, it’s turned into a sock in the clean laundry that doesn’t have a match.

      You could try slowly drying them out in a low oven, or in one of those dehydrators if you've got access to one. There is also a way to do it in the microwave, but I'm not sure how that would work with red pepper. I can't eat them, so I've never tried.

    3/4 c. Honey
    2 eggs
    1/2 c. Butter
    1 tsp. Vanilla
    2 c. Blueberries
    2 c. Flour
    1 tsp. Baking soda
    1/4 c. Plus 1 tbsp. Buttermilk
    1 tsp. Baking powder
    Put all wet ingredients in one bowl. Mix together. Put all dry ingredients into a different bowl. Mix together. Mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients.
    Bake at 325 for about 30-35 minutes.
    This recipe came from a Mennonite lady who is an awesome baker and cook.

    I’ve been learning (re-learning?) my conversions at my new job. We serve just under 200 residents at a care facility, so I’ve been learning in ounces. 1 ounce is equal to two tablespoons, which is an eighth of a cup (so, a cup is 8 ounces), it muddles my brain sometimes, but it’s been fun learning everything, and makes recipes easier to manage when measurements are all over the place or need to be multiplied. Good lessons to know!! Everyone needs a conversion chart!!!

    You have a beautiful kitchen!! I love the wood, just if you stain the cabinets a tad darker it would be one of my favorites :)

    Ooh have you tried half rice half riced cauliflower? It’s a good way to sneakily eat vegetable. Works especially well with white calrose rice.
