2015 Time For A Change

Mixing things up on the Adoptive Mom Homeschooling An Only Child blog. Let me know what you think. I am trying a few different looks to see what goes over well.

Things have been crazy around here, my husband was injured at work and has been recovering at home. We have had some fun eating out of the pantry to save on groceries.

Learn to eat from your pantry to save post coming soon!

Homeschooling updates and some other goodies coming your way in the new year! What is working in your homeschool? What are you tossing out? Changing things up this semester?

I also have a prayer request for one of readers, Deb, she is also homeschooling an only child...who is going off to college this year!! YEAH!! Please pray for her family as her Dad passed away this week.

How is your New Year going? I am praising the Lord for the wonderful sunshine that He is giving us this winter. It's wonderful to sit in my sunroom and work on my blog.

We are going to change the look of things from the dreary winter blog look to a fresh new look.

Let me know what you think!

Thanks,
Moe

Here are a few of my all time favorites!

Cake Spice, I use this in my oatmeal, Amish Baked Oatmeal and pancake/waffle batter.
Ground Caraway Seeds, I use this in my pork recipes
Italian Sausage Seasoning, I use this when I buy fresh ground pork and make my own breakfast sausages.
Buttermilk Ranch, don't let the name fool you, there is NO buttermilk in the seasoning. I use this to make dairy free salad dressings and dips. This is also really good sprinkled on mashed or baked potatoes. And super yummy sprinkled on baked chicken breasts.

I like how I can buy small or medium sized bottles or I can buy a larger size bag. I buy the Cake Spice and the Buttermilk Ranch by the bag full!

Stop by Penzeys Spices website or one of there brick and mortor locations. I've been to a few of the locations and love all the recipes that are sitting out by the spices. Like them on Facebook too!
