Eating Weeds for Your Health-Dandelion Fritters & Sautéed Dandelion Greens

Eating Weeds for Your Health-Dandelion Fritters & Sautéed Dandelion Greens
I started the week off by making Dandelion Fritters! Yep, with the weeds from our yard.  Dandelions are the most amazing plant ever and just to think people spray killer on them in their yards. Don't use yours if you've sprayed them!! The flowers, the greens and the roots are all medicinal. The flowers  taste a lot like zucchini blossoms, if you've ever had those.[...]

Coconut Cream Cake

Coconut Cream Cake
  My mom makes the best fresh coconut cake you've ever eaten in your life. She buys a  fresh coconut, uses the milk inside it and shreds up her own coconut. I could  eat the entire cake all by myself. She'll be shocked that I used organic dry coconut out of a bag, but I didn't have time to go get the real deal. Any time you use fresh coconut, you can't [...]

A Simple Family Passover (Seder) Supper

A traditional Seder meal is long.  In celebrating this feast we are honoring a feast, instituted by God and celebrated by Jesus himself.  “Because Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed for us; therefore, let us [...]

The Supper Table

The Supper Table
Post written by our daughter Hannah Glasgow Easter. I took it off her blog today, enjoy! You can find her at http://hannaheaster.blogspot.com “It’s time to eat!!!” My mom would cry as she clanked the cowbell with her sturdy spoon. By the third time, she could start to make out the barefooted tornado of dirt, curls, and laughter migrating towards her. As hard as it [...]

St. Patrick’s Day–Powerful Story to Share over Traditional Irish Dinner

St. Patrick's Day--Powerful Story to Share over Traditional Irish Dinner
I think it's interesting that we rarely hear the story behind St. Patrick's Day.  St. Patrick went down in history as being a radical Christian.  He considered himself a pagan when he was growing up. It wasn't until he was sold into slavery by Irish slave traders that he came to Christ.  His relationship with the Lord grew while he was a slave.  After six years in[...]

Brining A Turkey

Brining A Turkey
Brining your  turkey is mandatory if you want it to be succulent and delicious! Soaking it in a salt and sugar mixture makes it moist. Don't forget to rinse the brine off and soak the turkey in fresh water for 4 hours before it is cooked. This prevents it from tasting too salty. I have forgotten to do this step and it was still good but salty. This is an incredibl[...]
