Okay this recipe was super yummy! 🤤 I’m going to for sure make these candies again at Christmas time! ❤️ The recipe is Uncooked Fondant from the Betty Crocker 1950s Picture Cook Book. 👩🏼🍳 They are super easy to make! Click the link in my bio to watch me whip up this easy, yummy on my YouTube channel! ❤️ 
My lunch date. ❤️ I’ve gotten into the habit of taking one of my children out to eat once a month. I’m so glad I decided to start doing this. 👏🏼 The one on one time is rare and precious! 🌺 
This is Sir Ollie. 🐈 I found him and his siblings in the pasture last fall, luckily they were crying pathetically so I heard them. It was cold and there was snow melting on the tall grass. Ollie was the worst off and nearly dead. 🙁 He not only made it but was promoted to house cat, a rare privilege in the farm. 😉 His siblings are in the barn doing fantastic too. ❤️ 
More candy from the 1950s Betty Crocker Picture Cook Book.😋This time I made cream caramels.👩🏼🍳Click the link in my bio and watch me make them on YouTube! 🎥 
“March, when days are getting long, Let the growing hours be strong to set right to some wintry wrong.” -Caroline May 🌹 •I’m so excited for long days, gardening, and babies being born on the farm. Soon and very soon! ❤️ Although I don’t need more baby chicks, I don’t need more baby chicks, I don’t need…😬😆 🐥 #beautyboss 
It’s almost March and spring is in the air. I can feel it! ❤️🌸❤️ 
I’m trying to get more fruits and vegetables into my diet.🥭 For me that usually looks like at least a fruit and vegetable at breakfast, a fruit and vegetable at lunch, and 2 vegetables with dinner. 🍅 Then of course there’s snacks. 😆 
This week’s feature from the 1950 Betty Crocker Picture Cook Book is fudge! 😋Click the link in my bio to watch me make this delicious fudge on YouTube! ❤️ 
"We who live in quiet places have the opportunity to become acquainted with ourselves, to think our own thoughts, and live our own lives in a way that is not possible for those keeping up with the crowd. " -Laura Ingalls Wilder 
And that’s how that went down. 🤤 
How’s your Saturday? I’ve spent the better part of the day in my kitchen. ❤️ I started the day making pancakes. 🥞 Then I had a few other things I wanted to make. I made a pumpkin snack cake, peanut butter protein bites, granola, granola bars, and I baked a bunch of potatoes and sweet potatoes. My kids love to reheat the regular potatoes for lunch or a snack and I use the sweet potatoes (and granola) in my breakfast bowl. 👩🏼🍳 I had a couple other things I wanted to make but maybe I’ll have time tomorrow. Right now I want to go for a run and I had tree pruning on my list but we will have to see how much daylight is left by the time I get out there and get back. Fortunately I have chili in the crockpot, I did that this morning too, so I can stay out until it’s time to feed the animals and come in to a hot dinner. 😋 #beautyboss 
Who snuck a picture of me doing chores this morning?🥶😆 When everything is frozen and I’m hauling water in buckets I think about people who pay a gym membership, go to the gym, and then do the farmers carry. 😆 I’ve got that exercise covered. 💪🏼 
My current breakfast obsession, a roasted sweet potato topped with Greek yogurt and granola. 🤤 
Molasses Patties from the 1950s Betty Crocker Picture Cook Book. 👩🏼🍳 They made interesting things back then. 😂 The recipe said “like caramel corn.” Not quite, but actually not bad for molasses and brown sugar syrup mixed with Cheerios and peanuts. 😉 They remind me Cracker Jacks and they’re kid approved and that’s all that matters. 😆 
38 days until spring! 🌷 I can't wait! Spring means summer is next and I love summer! ☀️ What is your favorite season? 
It's #nationalboyscoutday! That's my scout on a hike on the left in the back.❤ He loves being a Boy Scout! Do you have any scouts in your family? 
Yes, yes, I was busy in the kitchen again. 😆 Coconut drops, anyone like coconut? 🥥 
Who is voting for Spring? Or maybe the question is who wouldn't be voting for Spring. 😆 No matter which way it goes we're getting closer to summer. 😁 #teamspring 
In this week’s YouTube video I am making caramel apples from scratch! 🍎 I posted my next recipe from my 1950 Betty Crocker Picture Cook Book on my YouTube channel. 👩🏼🍳 Click the link in my bio and watch me make caramel apples. 😋 
It’s a mom taxi day. 🚕 Of course it snowed, but that’s okay it’s only a 90 minute drive in good weather. 😆 My youngest is getting her braces off. 🎉 That means a morning appointment and an afternoon appointment in the big city. Nothing to do in between appointments today. So we will eat and maybe play cards or watch a movie in the van. That what happens when you choose to live in the middle of nowhere. 🤣 #beautyboss 
I love running by this old place and I wish I knew it’s story! ❤️ 
I’m not usually so good at making candy but I nailed this peanut brittle today. 😎 Click the link in my bio to watch me make these on YouTube! ❤️ 
I was surprised with the results of the next recipe in my 1950 Betty Crocker Picture Cook Book series! 🍫 👩🏼🍳 Click the link in my bio and watch me make and try Wheaties Ting-a-lings. 😋
