Happy New Year!!! Hope y'all had a blessed Holiday Season and are staying well and warm!
As soon as fall came to an end a whirlwind of festivities with family and friends began! There was lots of laughter, singing, baking, puzzles, games, simmering, sipping, sketching, weaving, crafting, wrapping........merry making all around!

Hand-dipped beeswax ornament, made a set of these for Cecilia last year, had fun helping her decorate her new little country home for the Holidays!

We love Coconut sugar (the one on the right) we tried a new recipe- glazed pecans using egg whites. The recipe needs a little tweaking- they were pretty good despite the fact that we left them in the oven too long!
Picture
This was a hit! Orange Pecan Spice Bread!!! Made with almond flour so it's gluten free! Recipe coming soon!!!

Butternuts make the best Pumpkin pie! We were blessed with a good crop and they kept really well. See our Holiday Pie youtube for recipe.

We love baking with fresh ground nutmeg. This grater is actually a magnet Mom found at the dollar store! Perfect!
Picture
This Pumpkin (butternut) Pie is gluten/grain free! Almond flour, coconut oil and a little cold water. Form into dough and press into pan! Easy!
Picture
Chickweed, plantain and kale for the morning smoothie! No matter how busy we get- smoothies are pretty quick to make- we try to have a green smoothie EVERY day! Watch us make one on the H.B. Cooking DVD!
Picture
Persimmon Bread! This was taken after the last post so thought y'al enjoy a picture of this yummy bread! The topping is just pureed persimmons!
Picture
Mom had sew much fun making a winter wardrobe for the sweet Waldorf style dolls she made last winter. She recycled sweaters, sock cuffs and scraps of flannel!
Picture
Mom got out her water colors and pencils the other day and painted this beautiful card!
 2017 was a wonderful year, many improvements were made to our new homestead and we are still enjoying the bounty from summers blessed harvest! Despite the cold winter we've been having the garden still has a few treasures, Jerusalem artichokes, chickweed, greens and last week we picked a few tiny heads of broccoli under the row cover. 
Hope this post will inspire and encourage, even though the year had it's challenges along with the blessings, we can look back in gratefulness at all we have!
May you all be blessed in this new year.......

    We refer to this book a lot.  Canning  fruits & veggies, making jams with & without sugar, cheeses, preserving & more.
          9 Book boxed set.
    Granny gave this to us the Christmas before we moved to our homestead. 
    What an inspiration!!
