Transcripts. Just the word is enough to send a homeschool mom running from the room. Or is that just me?! Our oldest two kids never wanted to go to college. So I never made transcripts for them. The next two graduated in 2013 with neither one planning on going to college. Now, they are both talking about going. Our 5th that graduated in September … [Continue]
In the Kitchen with Linda & Dinner Menu
Turns out, I didn't take any food pictures last week! In my defense, it was a really busy week. Multiple doctor visits, kid activities, driving kids to and from work, church activities, and my husbands birthday! The family did get together for his birthday, and I did make him a cake. I just didn't take any pictures! In a way, that's a … [Continue]

We had a good Thanksgiving. And quite the feast! Here is my long counter filled with Thanksgiving dinner. I didn't get a picture of the buffet before everyone went through.

I put each piece in a plastic food bag, twist it, then place all of them in a freezer bag. It makes it so easy to pull out just the amount I … [Continue]
Chicken Saute with Balsamic-Dried Plum Sauce Recipe
Do you regularly include dried plums in your family's diet? I have to say that I don't. They can be eaten in many different ways. Straight out of the package, or in snack, desert, or main dish recipes. I have been learning about California Dried Plums and there are many good reasons to eat them more often. I am inspired to start serving … [Continue]

I have slack on taking pictures of our food this week. I need to get in the habit of taking pictures of everything before I start eating. We had another roast in the slow cooker with lots of vegetables last week. This one was a nice beef roast. Since everyone complains that I never make enough carrots, I used a whole 2 pound bag! The … [Continue]
