Gluten Free Pumpkin Nut Muffins

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

For some reason, I was craving something pumpkin yesterday, so I decided to make some pumpkin muffins. Knowing that muffins make a quick and easy on-the-go breakfast, I went ahead and made a double batch, so I could freeze some for later. I like to freeze them individually, so we can just grab a muffin or two as needed. I thought it would be nice to try to make a healthier version of an old favorite. Of course, it would have worked a little better if I would have realized that I didn’t have any eggs. lol! I made them…

The First Day of the 2013/2014 Homeschool Year

Posted in Family, and Homeschooling

While Munchkin has been doing some school the last few weeks, it hasn’t been the full load of classes. Today, we’re officially starting our 9th year of homeschooling only it’s starting off a little differently due to our new volunteer work at the horse rescue. Our new school day will also look different as school work will be done after we get home from the stables. Our curriculum is similar to what we used last year with a few changes. Here’s what we plan on using this year: Biblical Archaeology Latin (combination of Visual Latin and Lingva Latina) Thinkwell Math…

Omelet Muffins

Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

Now that we’re heading over to the ranch in the morning on most days of the week, I find that we need something fast and easy for breakfast. Muffins are always a favorite, so I decided to make a twist on traditional muffins. The result was an omelet muffin that could be made ahead and stored in the fridge for approximately 3 days. The omelet muffins can be easily personalized for different tastes and/or food allergies. It’s also a good way to use up extra veggies and/or meat that’s in the fridge. This really is a throw together, use what…

Munchkin’s Foster Horse

Posted in Family

It’s been a bit of a crazy week already at the horse rescue, and it’s only Tuesday when I’m writing this. Monday morning found us back at the ranch ready to get back to work. Munchkin thought that she’d be fostering Sadie, but over the weekend, Sadie was adopted by a really great family which is wonderful news for Sadie. Thankfully, we had talked about this possibility prior to arriving at the ranch, so while she was disappointed, it wasn’t a huge let down. With what happened next, it quickly became the last thing we were thinking about…. Shortly after…
