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!

A young mom recently expressed her confusion as to why so few families participate in local support group activities but so many women lament being lonely. I was reminded of this post that showed up in my social media feed a while back: We have lived in [a fairly small […]
Some days I want rolls for sandwiches, but I don’t feel like divvying the dough, rolling them up, etc. So here’s the “cheater” method that gets sandwich rolls from the flour (or grain) bin to fix-a-sandwich in about 60 minutes. I started with the 60-Minute Dinner Roll recipe from Everyday Cooking. […]
