We realize that in our recent theme change, we ended up with a front page that is quite the train wreck, but we hope most of the rest of the site works acceptably. We apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for your patience as we transition from our old site to this one. We are ironing out the glitches as fast as we can! We've recently added the Everyday Cooking photo gallery, and we're adding more posts, Vicki’s Favorites in the shop, an expanded homeschool section, and more! We hope you’ll find it worth the wait — please check back often!

(Part 1) Many years ago (thirty, but who’s counting?), my neighbor on Fort Lee gave me some of her mother-in-law’s sourdough starter. This was a new experience for me–I had baked bread for years, but sourdough was a novelty to me. Oh my goodness, that starter and her recipe for Soft […]
Schnitzel and mashed potatoes. Comfort food. It may not be the make-ahead meal or the fastest to clean up, but it’s the most-requested dish for family gatherings and birthday dinners (okay, maybe it’s rivaled by Sophia’s requests for our 60-Minute Dinner Rolls). Ever since my German friend Birgit taught me […]
After having chicken and gnocchi soup at our local Olive Garden, I though I’d give it a try at home, but I didn’t have gnocchi on hand. Since my mom grew up around the corner from DeLallo’s in Jeannette, Pennsylvania (you HAVE to go there at least once in your […]
Some of our turkey leftovers were just begging to be blanketed in a flaky, warm crust! I know pie dough can be intimidating, so here’s a step-by-step for a by-hand flaky crust. (I have a “food processor” pie crust recipe in Everyday Homemaking, so here’s a more rustic version — […]
The step-by-step to-do list and shopping list Thanksgiving is just around the corner. We usually have anywhere from 30-40ish here — this year will be on the smaller side, at 30, including a good number of littles (I rely on Norwex to clean up before/after so I don’t have to […]
We lived out in the country during our homeschooling years, so I understand how difficult arranging home education activities can be, especially if you don’t have a family large enough for built-in sports teams or your own Bible quiz league! When we bring our kids home, we need to provide […]
Photos of recipes from Everyday Cooking. We are slowly adding photos to the Everyday Cooking gallery. Since the cookbook is in black and white (and would be cost-prohibitive in color), the next best thing is to add some online photos for you! There are a lot of photos, so thanks […]
When I was introduced to the concept of whole foods cooking, the first, most life-impacting change I made was to eliminate white flour from our diets. It’s not just conservative moms who are touting the health benefits of whole grains; an online search for the nutritional benefits of whole grains […]
I know it’s already mid-December, but I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to encourage you in this holiday season, so here are a few past posts/articles I thought were worth a reprise! Giving “Thanks” The holidays are just around the corner, and that often means gift-giving […]
This apple-stuffed puff pancake is a quick-and-simple breakfast — serves 2-4 from a regular skillet, so you may need two skillets (or use a larger baking pan and double the ingredients). I use a cast iron skillet for this — I have both Griswold and Lodge — but you can […]
