Spices

I've been reorganizing my kitchen and love my new spice set up. I bought these. I like that the jars are uniform in size and labeled the same.

Ice Cream

I've recently started making my own ice cream and this recipe is, by far, the easiest.

2 C whole milk
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 C sugar
pinch of salt
4 C heavy cream

Pour everything into a bowl and stick in the fridge overnight. When you are ready to use it, get out your favorite ice cream machine and dump in the mixture.

I like to top my ice cream with this:

1/3 C cocoa
1/3 C sugar
1/3 C milk

Whisk together and cook on med-low until it's hot fudge. This post is part of Simple Lives Thursday.

Homemade Home

I have been diligently working for the past eight years to learn how to be a homemaker. My college years were filled with a lot of Pasta Roni and ramen noodles and cooking was not anywhere close to being interesting. My journey into real food, sewing, gardening, and learning to love the craft of homemaking, began when I had my first child.

I have come a long way and am still perfecting my craft. This blog will give a voice to my journey and is where I will share recipes, patterns, and what I know so far about natural medicine.
