Cranberry Apple Walnut Salad

September 21, 2015 By Beth Cranford 1 Comment

Yesterday was a special day for me. It was my birthday, which meant that my house got cleaned by my kids (woo hoo!) I got taken out to lunch by my husband, AND had dinner with a good friend. And, most importantly, I came face-to-face with the fact that in three years I’ll be fifty…

Authentic, Delicious, Swedish Pancakes

September 17, 2015 By Beth Cranford Leave a Comment

Did you know it’s National Breakfast Month? Maybe because it’s time for kids to go back to school and they need a good breakfast. I have no idea. I don’t know who makes this stuff up, but it’s fun. I’ve been cooking up a lot of breakfasts lately for some photo shoots, and it’s been…

Sweet Peach Tea

August 28, 2015 By Beth Cranford Leave a Comment

Today I stepped out onto my patio, subconsciously prepared for my ears to be assaulted by the screeching noise of a row of trees full of summer-time Cicadas. You may have noticed I hate that sound. If you follow me on facebook, you know I hate that sound. But today I was greeted with something…

Chicken Sliders with Mango Slaw

August 17, 2015 By Beth Cranford Leave a Comment

This, my friends, is the sandwich that saved me about $30.00. It was one of those nights when I just didn’t have much time to cook. It was oh-so-tempting to just give in and go out. But you know I’m really trying not to do that. (Psst… it’s the reason for this site, actually.) Knowing…

Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins (Worth Getting Up For)

August 15, 2015 By Beth Cranford Leave a Comment

That’s it. I’m done. No more pretending to be something I’m not. I’ve denied it, I’ve fought it, I’ve tried to change it. Nothing. No change. I’m just going to have to live with it. Learn to be awesome in spite of myself. Maybe confession will be good for the soul. Okay, here goes…as much as…

Meal Planning Made Simple

August 12, 2015 By Beth Cranford Leave a Comment

Warning: If you’re tired of reading about meal planning, you might want to move on and read a different post. Maybe you just need a recipe for Mini Molten Lava Sundaes.  If you’ve become aware that meal planning is a homemaking skill that yields multiple rewards, and you need a little help, either with the…

Save Money and Eat Healthy with your Slow Cooker

Today I’m turning my blog over  to my friends Tracy and Susanne, from Homemakershutch.com. They’re digging out their slow cookers this month and putting them to work. I love the idea of slow cooking during one of the busiest months of my year, so I’ve joined them. They offered to drop in and share some tips…

Grilled Pineapple Salsa

August 6, 2015 By Beth Cranford 4 Comments

The sky is growing dark and there is thunder in the distance as I write this post. There are some sounds that will always warm my heart, like my children laughing or singing and my husband saying “I love you” or, similar, “Let’s go out to eat.” And a gentle thunder. Especially at the end…

Let’s Take A Cooking Class

August 5, 2015 By Beth Cranford 2 Comments

It’s August and that means it’s time for school to start again. I personally love this time of year. We’re getting close enough to fall (my favorite season of all) to believe it’s actually going to show up. (Not that the actual current weather is giving us any hope, just the calendar!) It’s a new…
