Stone soup

Hey all,
so today I am finishing up some chicken soup that I started on Monday involving a whole chicken!!!
This single chicken made so much that I brought some over to the neighbor's house in order to have room for noodles.
Chicken soup:
take whole raw chicken and put it in a large stew pot
add assorted veggies ( I used Parsnips, carrots, green onion and turnip greens)
add 4 cloves of garlic cover it all with water and a lid simmer on low for 3 hours
add seasonings ( I used salt, pepper, red chili powder, sage, thyme, oregano, rosemary , 1/4 t cinnamon ) let simmer for 2 hours remove from heat put in fridge for 1 day skim off fat on the 3rd day put on stove and simmer for and additional 6 hours to this add noodles ( I use my own recipe for egg noodles)
I also am making an apple pie and whipped cream.
When I brought the neighbors over some soup they gave me some eggs from their chickens!!!!
I feel very blessed today!!
Kind Regards,
KB

getting better at home-made items

In the past few months I have been dusting off my sewing machine trying to get back into the swing of things, my ultamate goal is to make mine and EA's clothes and then attempt DH's shirts. As I sit here typing and eating my granola I am also thinking up a new design for EA a new nightgown. I made the one pictured here earlier last week and It came out so well. I want to make EA& EB matching ones!! I have already finished all 3 children's Halloween costumes with lots of time to spare and a re fitting planned for the week prior to that infamous 31st day of October!!!

Boy I am bad at blogging!

Ok, well it's been a few long months of readjusting on our parts!! We now are living at MM's house  due to financial strain of CB's  work program .  EA is in 2nd  grade now having difficulties as usual with her reading phonics , but it is times like this that I feel so lucky to be a SAHM . so hopefully in the next few days I can start updating  what we have been doing and possibly some pictures!!!!!
