I’ve been crocheting more items for my Grandmothers Hope Chest. That’s where I keep the things I’ve been making for my future grandchildren. I’ve got a few blankets and sweaters and booties in there so far. I can’t wait to be a grandma. 🙂
Ozeri Digital Pedometer Review
I recently received an Ozeri Digital Pedometer to review. I’ve used a few pedometers over the years. I do like to keep track of how many steps I take, and the progress I have made. The pedometers I have used in the past were not digital. If you’ve ever used a pedometer you know the ones I’m talking about. They make a clicking sound when you walk. I was always a little self concous about wearing those pedometers in public. Everybody didn’t need to hear me clicking when I walked.
That’s the first thing I noticed about this Ozeri Digital Pedometer. It’s silent! I know what some of you are thinking. “But it’s digital. It’s going to be hard to set up.” I found it very easy to set up and start using. Here are a few features of the Ozeri 4x3runnerTM Digital Pocket 3D Pedometer with Tri-Axis Technology. That’s it’s official long name.

When I made chili this week, I cooked extra hamburger to freeze. I put 2 four cup bags and 1 two cup bag in the freezer. Two cups of cooked hamburger is approximately 1 pound. Knowing that makes it easier to cook a large batch of hamburger, then measure out to freeze. This is one of my convenience foods that I like to keep on hand. It makes for quick meals.
Hannah made homemade Oreo cookies for the first time. And took this picture. They came out great. The cookie isn’t as crisp as a store bought one, but not as soft as a whoopie pie. Her siblings (and parents lol) were very happy with her cookie efforts.
On Sunday, we make breakfast for lunch. Church was cancelled because of the weather, so we had time to make it. Hannah made the biscuits, my husband made the potatoes and the eggs. I made the turkey sausage, then turned it into gravy. The turkey sausage recipe is linked below, and it’s super easy. And very tasty. When I cooked the sausage, I cooked three pounds, then divided it. 1/3 went into the gravy, and the other thirds were bagged separately for the freezer for pizza toppings.

Saturday on the Farm – Snow Day
We have had so much snow in Kentucky this year! We still had snow on the ground from Monday, when we got more snow overnight and this morning.
My husband braved the cold to take a couple of pictures. This is looking down our road this morning while it was still snowing. Our driveway is just out of the bottom right corner of the picture.
Our Homeschool Week in Review
It’s been so cold here! Even though the temp inside is staying steady, the temp outside keeps dropping. And that makes us all want to wrap up in blankets and just sit around. Either on the computer or watching movies.
Abby & Zach sure don’t want to get out of bed in the mornings, either. lol Can’t say as I blame them. We do need to get some schoolwork done, though. Instead of them getting most of their work done in the morning, they are now doing most of it in the afternoon. Even though it’s not my preferred schedule, they are getting work done. That’s all that really matters.

Since I try to eat gluten free, and I am out of my GF pizza crust, I thought I’d try one of those cauliflower pizza crust recipes floating around the internet. I did alter the recipe. lol I used a bag of frozen cauliflower instead of a head of fresh. I’ve seen several recipes, and they are all similar. Cook the cauliflower, process in food processor, add seasonings and cheese. Spread into pan, cook first. Then add toppings, and cook under broiler until cheese is melted and browned as much as you like it.
It was edible. lol Pretty decent actually, for cauliflower. Now I like cauliflower. If you don’t, don’t try this recipe. As you can taste it. No amount of toppings are going to cover the cauliflower taste. My husband, and 3 out of 4 teenagers said it was good. I’m pretty sure, though, if I served this to them instead of our regular pizza I would have a mutiny on my hands. lol
If you are trying to eat grain free, and like cauliflower, this is a way you can still enjoy pizza. Would I make it again? Yes, if I was out of my regular GF crust, and just had to have pizza. It won’t be my go to crust, though.
Ooooops! You caught me licking the chocolate pudding pan! Well, I did make homemade pudding for my daughter with the sore mouth from braces. And the pan does have to get clean somehow! lol

It’s been a busy week in my kitchen. I decided to make myself some gluten free snacks. I made Gluten Free Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies and Gluten Free Applesauce Gingerbread. By the way, I’ve linked all my gluten free recipes on one page. You’ll find it in the menu bar above. I took pictures, but now can’t find them. I think they are on my husbands cell phone. The applesauce gingerbread is great alone, but awesome paired with homemade whipped cream.
