  1. Thanks for posting this wonderful-sounding recipe. I'm enjoying my first visit to this wonderful blog. I too like to sew, garden, cook healthy, low-cost, from-scratch meals, etc. My youngest child graduated from homeschool last year, so I now have a little more time to put into these passions and have even added my new interest of blogging about my homey activities. Now I'm off to read more of your posts!
