Christmas Planning ~ Free Printable ~ Other Ramblings



It's official.  The last breakfast casserole is our new Christmas morning breakfast now.  I will make it a few more times and add greens, ground mustard and possible half spicy sausage to try it that way.  It's going in my "Christmas" Binder.  

 The honey roasted caramel corn is definitely in the recipe box and will be in the treat list for the holidays.  
I found a free printable online at the Homestead Hustle, it's called Product Pricing Worksheet.  It's great to keep track of cost and sale price for homemade or homegrown items you sell.
I bought myself a few new stitch markers.  So adorable!
My fall center piece made from a free metal strainer, and decor from the dollar store (bought by one of my girls).


Made a cucumber/tomato salad.


Picked another 1 1/2 cups blackberries to freeze.


Froze a quart bag of diced green bell peppers.

Love the look of your Christmas breakfast, it looks so tasty and will be a real treat. The stitch markers were a delight, so very pretty.

mamasmercantile, thanks. I will use red and green bell pepper next time. I just had green and orange the day I tried it.

Love how resourceful you are. The freezing of green bell peppers is a great idea. I should try to plant peppers, next year hopefully!

Angela, we use them in just about anything - breakfast, casseroles, soups, corn muffins and more. I also freeze them in slices for roasted veggies, fajitas, chicken stir fry etc.

You've been a busy little beaver. I dehydrate my berries for muffins. I only freeze berries to go into a fruits salad and top desserts.

I've started Christmas stuff too. I'm interested in that breakfast dish. Looks good. I froze some okra, looks like you pans.

Cockeyed Jo, that's a good idea too. We are just not getting enough this year due to the drought.

Wildflower Adventures, if you go back a few posts to the first time I made the dish, I believe I told everyone where the recipe is online. Thanks.

All so beautiful, and I really like the idea of breakfast casseroles.
You could even make them the day before and then cook them the morning of, I think.
I pray this plague is over soon. I'm hungry for some Western Sizzlin' Buffet, but then that's selfish when one thinks about the sick and dying or those who have lost a beloved one because of it. :(
Prayers for us all. I think we need it.
God bless you a..
Have a good weekend.

Our weather finally got hot,, up in the high 90's and my pickles, and tomatoes are not ripening at the same time,, so I think I will make freezer tomato sauce, as well as freezer pickled beets.. As for the onions and bell peppers,, I , like you am freezing them.
As for my Okra,, I seem to only be able to pick4-5 every other day,, yep,, not my best gardening year.. but then,, this has been a rather wonky year..
That is the good thing about gardens,, you always can 'do-over' the next year! lol!
Have a lovely Sunday.

Katmom, I may need to freeze tomatoes whole and make sauce this winter. Mine are not coming on red at the same time either. Oye.

Horsetail Salve ~ A "first" this Year

We purchased some horsetail salve to try last year.  It is said to help with severely dry, cracked skin.  My husband was the first to try it, with very, very dry and cracked hands from work. He loves it!  He joked I could not have it back.   I started the infused, horsetail oil the last part of March. Something I learned:   horsetail is also called shavegrass. I infused horsetail in oil, and strained it.  I then made horsetail salve.  I remembered to label my jar with what oil(s) I used, so I can journal this all in my "Herbal Remedies" journal.  I often forget to write the oil used. Now, the one we bought, has more in it than I put in ours, as far as ingredients (the purchased salve had lanolin, and aloe).  We'll see if ours works just as good.  I added the sage essential oil, and vitamin E oil. A "first" time experience for us this year.    I bought the larger tins at a seed store in an Amish area last year.  They a...

Chit Chat

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart

New Recipe Tried and other Bits

  I tried a new granola recipe and boy it's good.  First, it's a recipe from Mennonite Girls and Cook, and called "Backpack Snacks" online.  It calls for granola, so I used my homemade granola that we love.  Picture is the dry ingredients. Second, I pressed the final mixture into a 9 x 9, parchment lined baking dish instead of rolling it into balls.  The color of these photos are all different, because of the time of day, and how dark the house was from the thick Canadian smoke that was still outside at the time. These cut very nicely, and were very good, straight from the refrigerator.  It was hard to eat just one of them.  I will be making this again, and switching out the peanuts with walnuts, and switching out the raisins with dates.  Oh my!  The binder is honey and peanut butter. These are perfect for your hiking days, camping, your grandkids, or just for snacks when you want one. The rain arrived thank goodness, and washed the smoke in...
