January Women's Luncheon Bazaar

Tea Anyone?

Here are some of the tea cozies that I made for a women's luncheon bazaar in January. They are made out of fabric from the Homestead in Fredericksburg. I have sold out of most of them but am in the process of finishing some more that will be available in my shop very soon. I'll also have them at our next farmer's market March 21 at Grey Forest.

Dinner in a flash...

What do you do with navy beans?


We made a pot of navy beans a couple of weeks ago and ended up running late fixing supper. So here we stand at the stove looking at our pot of beans and asking the above question.


The Answer -- Polenta with Herbed Navy Bean Broth


Sounds pretty fancy huh? Actually we just started throwing things in that sounded good. We first sauteed carrots and celery in coconut oil. Then we threw in a bunch of minced fresh herbs with some onion powder (Daddy's doesn't like onion chunks). We added enough bean broth to taste and ladled it over leftover grits that we "fried" in coconut oil -- thus the polenta. Here is the final result.

















The verdict? Here's the answer - It was SOOOOOO delicious. Daddy has asked for a repeat.

Part 7 Of Precious Things

Precious faith our God hath given; rich in faith is rich indeed!
Fire-tired gold from His own treasury, fully meeting every need:
Channel of His grace abounding; bringing peace and joy and light;
Purifying, overcoming; linking weakness with His might.

Beet Salad

I made a really yummy beet salad with broccoli, kalamata olives, and a lemon and olive oil dressing.  --simple and tasty --  It also cleaned out our refrigerator.
