Parmesan Pepper Skillet Bread

I don’t often bake – we are busy and I don’t have the patience to sit and watch an oven.

I loveContinue reading “Parmesan Pepper Skillet Bread”

I love easy solutions to problems. I appreciate solutions even more when I can accomplish them myself.

A coupleContinue reading “Rice Heating Pad”

Crock Pot Root Beer Moonshine

My husband works hard to keep our family provided for and our house running. He rarely asks for anything- and when he does I make it happen.
