yummy Spinach and Strawberry Salad...

Sorry no pictures, every time we make this, I eat it all up!!! I forget to shoot a picture before. Sorry too many things to remember at meal times!!

Strawberries, we usually use 2 cartons FRESH only
Red onion, we usually use one, and slice thin
Spinach, ofcourse organic. NEVER eat non organic lettuces.... seriously your leafy greens suck up all the water and things around them... all greens need to be organic.

Slice strawberries, we like them sliced vertical {long ways} Slice onion and wash spinach.

Now for the best dressing ever!
4 T honey
2T oil, we use to use olive oil, but are now in love with grapeseed.
2T rice vinegar
3T balsamic vinegar
1t poppy seeds, Papa Bear dislikes poppy seeds, so we leave them out when he's home.
Mix, stir, whisk or shake!!
drizzle over salad when you are ready to eat, not early. Then toss.

this dressing doesn't seem like a lot, but it is. The last of our salad is dripping in it. So if you are making a smaller salad, maybe you should cut it all in half...or make extra for another salad another night! It's so good.
Not sure where I got this from, we have been eating this FOREVER!!!
Enjoy!

Sugar, oh sugar!!!

okay so as i have stated, we don't eat sugar. This being said, we do eat natural cane {also known as turbinado} sugar, honey, stevia and agava. I do try to limit this. I figure to some degree sugar is sugar, and not good, even in it's natural state. I don't want to get into a "sugar fight" with anyone! So all I am going to say, is it's quite common knowledge that sugar isn't good for you. I am a sugar lover! Always have been, I'm sure. I have a very, very, very sweet tooth. Sugar was hard for me to give up. Which is why I am so thankful for so many natural sweeteners! The reason we stopped, was knowledge, we started studying sugar, and learning about it, and we had to stop. As for our family, we had to give it up all or nothing, we are a cold turkey kind of family!!! We have tried to give up sugar, oh I don't know around 100 times!!! This time it finally stuck. The more I read, the more I study the more I am so thankful for that decision. So how di

and that's why we don't eat sugar.....

Homemade bread for our large family

making bread has been a huge part of my life as a mother... here’s the problem, don’t start making homemade bread, unless you plan on doing it forever!!! Once you eat homemade bread, it’s didficult to eat store brought breads!!! Even some of the nicest, most expensive, they just seem so dry and bland. That being said, I can make all our bread for our family of 11 (currently in the house) in about 15 minutes! (Not including the rise and bake time) I usually make it on the weekend, and then again around Wednesday or Thursday each week. Whenever I make it, I incorporate it into our dinner that night. Usually making 3 or 4 loaves of bread and 1 pan of rolls- for dinner. You see if you don’t do that, you’ll end up eating all of it the first night, right!!! No one can resist hot, fresh, homemade bread- especially with melted butter!!! 💖 So here’s the recipe, I know you’re all dying to have! This should make about 5 loaves of bread, or a mix of bread and rolls 6 cu
