Cookies and random tidbits

 I decided to bake my Mom's sour cream cookie recipe for Christmas.  Although I am lacking my Christmas zippity do-dah, I got it done.

Youngest slept the entire day.  I know she got much needed rest.  She went to Urgent care but was sent back home.  No meds, no real diagnosis, so it's Mom's remedies for now.  They also did a rapid virus test (came back negative).

Our sunshine yesterday was gone as fast as it came sadly.  No sun makes a dreary lazy day for me.

Apparently there are thieves cruising the area, who are stealing flat bed trailers.  We don't own one, but it does put one on more of an alert.



I got out my iron and worked on the homemade cards to finish up Mom's gift.

Sad news from afar.  Cousin (she is my age) M's husband  is in the hospital with covid.  It doesn't sound like it's good.  Please say a prayer for her husband.

My 89 year Old MIL, 89, in the last 6 months, fell, broke 4 ribs, had a surgical procedure to put a plate to protect her ribs so she can heal, lost her husband and caught the Vid. She is recovering now, after a bout with pneumonia. People do recover from the VID, sending prayers to your family member and healing thoughts. People do recover from it, not reported by the fake news crowd. Not on a regular basis. it is not news we get, because it's not positive.Very best to you and yours at Christmas, and the new year.

Been feeling a little low myself here, stomach problems and a torn right rotator cuff. Have tests next week. Not looking forward to it but it's necessary because oldest brother has colon/liver cancer. The rotator cuff will have to come after the tests.
Praying for your cousin's wife. So scary what the world is going through right now. Praying for everyone, with Covid and without it. My GP said they're estimating 60-85% of the world will get it to differing degrees, and it's so aggravating that some people aren't taking it seriously at all. Well, it will be what it will be.
Take care my friend!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!
God bless you.

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...
