We will continue to have lots of YUMMY recipes, we will have more daily life stories, along with great homeschool articles or product review and fun information about our homesteading venture so stayed tuned because we're a little bit "crazy" and our stories will at least be interesting!!<br />

<br />
1 Whole Chicken <br />
1 Can Cooked Carrots<br />
1 Can Cannelloni Beans<br />
4-5 Stalks of Celery<br />
Mushrooms<br />
<br />
Boil your chicken - season well with salt, pepper and other favorite herbs and spices. When chicken is done set aside to cool - then debone. Save the broth. I usually do this on the weekend and freeze or refrigerate for a quick evening meal during the week!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>To make soup: Cut up celery and saute in butter, add mushrooms.<br />

Rabbit meat is a lean, protein rich, heart healthy meat!! We hope to offer this meat to our customers the summer of 2012. If you raise meat rabbits we would LOVE to opinions or anything you have to share or add!!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
This group was created for us to support one another, make friends in the homeschooling community, offer support and encouragement, share pictures of family and fun projects (even the science project that BLEW up!!), share kid friendly recipes, stories and adventures, links to great homeschooling, lapbooking, worksheets sites and more. <br />

Our entire family is 10 days into a 30 day fast off of white sugar and white flour - my kids have been allowed to cheat a couple of times, you know the cupcake that was passed out to everyone on the ball team - well I decided NOT to be that cruel. Anyway as only a sugar addict would I'm tearing through my pantry like a "MAD" woman wanting something anything - a candy bar - an entire cookie bowl full of cookies, cupcakes SOMETHING!!!<br />
<br />
Well being the Good Girl that I am I decided to create the best of both worlds a SNACK but made with honey and unbleached whole wheat flour. Here is the Oatmeal Delights we had - and yes they were edible and good. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-T3N8f7LHnaAgz5LqQU6j84bJDjCG4JArjzRR8ipothLA-BQFEf8g4Bbo0oGSwnVrwcnMerpmb4tN1o1ZuW-KMQ1GmxDy6rfkJvIajEgGhhQ61S08DRjNA-8fnQZ2a5Cpn_HGAtB808U/s1600/honeyflour.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320px" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-T3N8f7LHnaAgz5LqQU6j84bJDjCG4JArjzRR8ipothLA-BQFEf8g4Bbo0oGSwnVrwcnMerpmb4tN1o1ZuW-KMQ1GmxDy6rfkJvIajEgGhhQ61S08DRjNA-8fnQZ2a5Cpn_HGAtB808U/s320/honeyflour.jpg" width="237px" /></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div>1 cup of butter, softened<br />
1 cup of honey<br />
2 eggs<br />
1 teaspoon vanilla<br />
1 1/2 - 2 cups Whole Wheat Flour (going to try with Rice Flour next time)<br />
1 teaspoon baking soda<br />
1 teaspoon cinnamon<br />
1/2 teaspoon salt<br />
3 cups Oats (I used Quacker as that is what I had on hand - would like to try with some whole organic oats!)<br />
<br />
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees<br />
<br />
2. Mix together butter, honey, eggs and vanilla in a bowl.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYgirY3CGro3_klA3ek-cD2oOuq7Y99LrkHhQhGDRVK9Z-UfvQOZCdMUQnC2s6clkn74Acmh80NdCFZj2GM7j2VxpN_XgIE9OZxVTl7Jc8peZF2Fi09kJVNoMJRIsRTBjC9arFPUvuhkA/s1600/dough.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="234px" i$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYgirY3CGro3_klA3ek-cD2oOuq7Y99LrkHhQhGDRVK9Z-UfvQOZCdMUQnC2s6clkn74Acmh80NdCFZj2GM7j2VxpN_XgIE9OZxVTl7Jc8peZF2Fi09kJVNoMJRIsRTBjC9arFPUvuhkA/s320/dough.jpg" width="320px" /></a><br />
<br />
3. Then mix together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and oats. Gradually add to honey mixture. If you need more flour or oats add til thick and will drop off a spoon.<br />
<br />
4. Drop dough by the teaspoons onto a cookie sheet and bake about 10 minutes are until done - should be golden as the honey darkens the dough!!<br />
<br />
OH then ENJOY!!!!<br />

Those sweet sometimes tart delectable pieces of fruit!! I share with you here a very YUMMY way to serve strawberries that look fancy and look like you went to a lot of work (we won't tell your guests how easy it was)!!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="color: #a64d79; font-size: large;"><u><em>Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries</em></u></span></strong></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">1 package of Plain or Tropical Cheesecake from Collyott Farms (<a href="http://www.collyottfarms.com/">http://www.collyottfarms.com/</a>)</div><div style="text-align: left;">Strawberries (fresh picked is best)</div><div style="text-align: left;">To make the Cheesecake Mix you will need:</div><div style="text-align: left;">8 oz. Cool Whip</div><div style="text-align: left;">8 oz. Cream Cheese</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Make Cheesecake according to package directions. Set Cheesecake in fridge. Wash strawberries, and cut the tops off - then take a knife and slice them in 2 ways making a cross or plus sign - do not slice all the way through just enough so you can open them up. If you wish them to stand you may take a tiny tip off the bottom to make them flat. Line them up on your serving platter. Then take the Cheesecake mixture and spoon into a small ziplock bag. Cut a tiny piece off at the corner and squeeze the cheesecake into the strawberries. Make sure to save some for your guests!!!!</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp7QbaELz3hkUXD-mvanSrmwjhUPThXjvbv7bv10Bp1HDDZTQKtKMmMtCr0C9ek2h23yqFtRITu5ZjSOQVco_eEW_KkppYEKbhWWPP7JAVAtiibrN3DruEnxLUgvfjkIbptxzOIaxG3DI/s1600/strawtrop.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp7QbaELz3hkUXD-mvanSrmwjhUPThXjvbv7bv10Bp1HDDZTQKtKMmMtCr0C9ek2h23yqFtRITu5ZjSOQVco_eEW_KkppYEKbhWWPP7JAVAtiibrN3DruEnxLUgvfjkIbptxzOIaxG3DI/s1600/strawtrop.jpg" t8="true" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I love the Farmer's Market - fresh produce, baked goods, quality food, wonderful people to meet and chat with - they are surely the highlight of my mornings in warmer weather - and since the Farmer's Markets are opening that IS a sign of warmer weather - RIGHT???!!!! This has been such a rough cold winter - I love winter but it's time to say GoodBye for awhile.</span><br />

Do you ever "ramble" my husband has accused me of rambling a time or two (probably more)!! I don't make New Year Resolutions but I do consider my year make plans and goals - here are just a few NEW things rolling around in my brain!!<br />
<br />
First, today is our first day of homeschooling our 2nd grader - it has been a FUN day - my son could not wait to demonstrate his science project to his dad at lunch (probably because it gets everything WET more than educating my husband!!) but he was able to explain what he learned about "air pressure" so something besides WATER soaked in!! As we enter this new venture expect to hear great homeschooling stories - I'll share our ups/downs, ideas for others who homeschool etc. If you are a homeschooling mom I would LOVE to have you join us share as well.<br />
<br />
Second, well lets just say I'm 8 1/2 months pregnant and "hanging in there" whew can't wait for this baby girl to get here - a new addition will definately make this year different, exciting and blessed. Can't wait to share all those details with you (I'll skip the birthing ones though~)<br />
<br />
Third, my brain has been on "business" overload, deciding what projects to make, how to advertise and market, what to add, etc. I also have been busy planning all the new "farm" additions from vegetables to grow to ducks to raise - sometimes you have to restrain me because I go a little nuts!!<br />

We will be switching our blog up a bit and introducing TAB w/ topics since we will have a little bit of everything. We hope this makes it easier to find the resources and posts your most interested in whether it be recipes, homeschooling, farm life stories, pictures or our latest and greatest Farmhouse wood creations. May God Bless each of you in the new year - we are glad you are making the journey with us. Stay tuned as we will have a give away later this month - don't miss it!!Collyott Farmshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10443928011235673207noreply@blogger.com2
