Two weeks ago, we were getting ready to head on vacation, and I got sick, really sick. I was in bed for several days. I only got up when I absolutely needed to do something. I didn’t know if we’d be able to go as planned. The day before we were scheduled to leave I hadn’t even packed for the trip. Thankfully, I was able to get things packed (with much effort) that evening, and we left as scheduled. On the drive there, I lost my voice. It took most of last week to get it back. We had a…

Online Cooking Class: Roast Chicken
Posted in Homemaking, and Homeschooling
This week’s assignment for our online cooking class was Lemon & Rosemary Roast Chicken. We paired it with homemade steak fries and tin foil carrots from the previous lessons.
