Gluten Free Cheesy Onion Burger

Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography

Project 365 – #260 I hadn’t gotten anything out for dinner, and everyone was hungry.  I started digging in the freezer to see what we had available.  I was happy to find some frozen turkey burgers as they make a quick, easy meal.  While I was in the freezer, I pulled out some mixed veggies to serve with the burgers.  Frozen burgers go directly in the hot cast iron skillet while I slice up the onions and cheese. For this meal, I used a small organic red onion as we had received these in our last Bountiful Baskets order.  I…

Review & Giveaway: Beverly Lewis’ The Shunning

Posted in Reviews

Katie Lapp finds herself drawn to some of the English ways even though she’s a member of a well-respected Amish family.  She’s betrothed to the Bishop, but she is conflicted about the upcoming wedding.  When a stranger shows up in town, her mom and dad start to act different.  A piece of a burned letter sets of a chain of events for which no one within the community is prepared. My Thoughts: Danielle Panabaker (Katie Lapp) does a wonderful job in the starring role in this movie.  Her character is believable as each emotion is displayed prominently on her face and every…

Project 365 – #259 Back when Munchkin was in kindergarten, her teacher had them write a little each day.  Sometimes that would mean she would write a short, simple sentence.  Other days, that meant that she’d run out of time trying to write a story to go with her picture.  When Munchkin came home from school at the end of the year, our homeschooling adventure began.  I tried to move away from traditional schooling, but the one thing that I tried to continue was the daily writing.  We didn’t always achieve it, but it slowly became part of Munchkin’s normal…

Birds vs Monkeys!

Posted in Family

Project 365 – #258 Angry Birds – the little app that has become a phenomenon everywhere it seems – has invaded our house.  We have all 3 versions of Angry Birds on our Droid smartphones – Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds Rio.  Truth be told, I don’t play Angry Birds that often.  **gasp**  You see, Munchkin has commandeered my phone for the playing of Angry Birds while Daddy plays Angry Birds on his phone.  They can often be found sharing notes, discussing different levels, and helping each other out with various levels. When we finally had the opportunity to watch…
