Buttercup

Isn't that stove a real beauty? Ours is a 1940's model. Not at all air tight and eats through wood very quickly. Everything pictured looks delicious. Well done!

So far this year I've made Violet and Redbud jellies. I have dandelion tea brewing now. The violet doesn't have much taste, nor did it set. So it will be syrup in lemonade or on pancakes.

I'm trying to get some redbud 🌸 blossoms so I can try it. And maybe lilac!

I've been making 3 ingredient biscuits for a few years now. I could never make good biscuits until I found this one! 2 cups self-rising flour 1 to 1 1/4 c heavy cream 1 pinch of salt Preheat oven to 450⁰ Combine all ingredients. This dough tends to be a bit dry. Once mixed together dump out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it 10-12 times and press out to 1 inch. Cut with biscuit cutter. Do not twist cutter. Put on an greased cookie sheet. Bake at 450⁰ for 10-12 minutes. Makes about 6 biscuits

Thank you for sharing! I spend way too much time on YouTube watching Homesteaders and Cooks!

Sadly he was found deceased. Took 2 days to recover his body. Please pray for his family!

My twins will be 32 this summer.

You have twins? How old are they?

This has always been one of my favorite threads on MrsS! Last night after supper I cooked 3 pounds of hamburger. 2 pounds I turned into taco meat for the weekend. The remaining pound I plan to make beef stroganoff for tonight's supper! I have 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs thawed in the fridge, what are some ideas I could use then in?

Here we are the first of April! ! Do you have any big plans in April? Will you be planting a garden? I sit with a 1 and 2 year old daily. I'm looking forward to warmer weather so they can get outside and run their energy off! Last evening we learned a friend drove through flood waters. (PLEASE NEVER DO THAT!) His truck stalled in the water and he's now missing. If you'd be willing I'd appreciate prayers he's found and for his family!

I hung an old wooden ladder from my kitchen ceiling. Here I can hang pots and pans, baskets, herbs etc.

Lol. It only took 12 years ♡

I've no idea if I'm doing this right! This sure feels like coming home! When I first came to Mrs S I was 33, married with 3 children. Here I am close to 51, still married with 3 children but have added 9 grandchildren. The oldest one will be 16 in a few days! We still live in Illinois not too far north of Becca Anne! Still have chickens, geese, pigs, and goats. We have added honey bees, dairy cows, beef cows and quail. I work away from home now, doing in home child care. That combined with health issues I'm exhausted most days!! Still garden, can and cook when I can! I'm looking forward to being here watching others learn and be excited about what this site meant to me 18 years ago! Dawn

Thank you, it's good to be here...
