I am baking these two types of cookies soon! What are your favorite Christmas cookies to make?! 🍪

Big pot of Kickin' chili for church. It doesn't look like much but it was delicious! It's crock pot season! 😋 😄

Fast season is upon us! Vegan stuffed shells for dinner last night. So delicious! Cashew/spinach/lemon juice/garlic ricotta in jumbo shells with marinara 😋

We have discussed various methods of making kraut and other ferments several times before, but just in case you're one who is curious, here's a simple method we do in our house:

It's easy and so very nutritious. 7 heads produced about 2.5 gallons tonight as pictured. I shred it, sprinkle generously with sea salt, and pound it with a wooden mallet till it gets juicy. Then press into the jars. (Ideally the juice covers it all) and let them sit on the counter for about a week or so (release the gas a couple times a day by partly unscrewing the lids). Then transfer to the fridge. We like it best after it's finished/aged in the fridge for at least 2 to 3 weeks. 🥰-V

One of the first frosts of the year here in Appalachia 💓 hope you all are enjoying winter!

Watching my sons grow up, develop their unique personalities and seeing them get smarter everyday is so wonderful. My oldest sings in the choir, is learning to play piano and a second language. My middle child is a master builder and has an incredible imagination. My youngest is talking quite a bit now and such a ham. The days are long but the years are short! I am blessed ❤️

My two year old is learning colors in an engaging, fun way today! Also potty training 😎 what does your day look like?

Cats are so crazy 🤨🐱 check his face as my toddler puts the blocks away 😂
