With Eagerness and Delight--Challenge 1

My friend Elissa is hosting a challenge and giveaway:

“For some time now, I’ve been wanting to have a series of challenges for young women training to be keepers as home, and I’ve also been wanting to have a giveaway, so I thought, hey, I might as well combine them. My challenges will each be something to encourage my readers to work with their hands, and “seek wool and flax” with willingness, eagerness, and delight. They will encourage you in the lovely, graceful, and feminine arts of sewing, cooking/baking, decorating, letter writing, gardening and more….”

The first challenge is cooking for your family…

Mmm...fresh orange juice

Our family just juiced a bunch of oranges. Mmm, mmm, good! Too bad that drinking too much gives me a stomach ache…I could drink it all!

Recipe Demonstration Day

Yesterday, six families (including mine) got together to share recipes. Each mom made a dish or two with her daughters helping. After each dish was finished, everyone got a sample. By the time we tried everything, we were stuffed! All the food was wonderful. I can’t wait to try making some new things that were demonstrated.

My Favorite Foods

One of my favorite foods is quinoa (KEEN-wa). It is similar to rice in that you can eat it as a side dish or use it as a grain in things like waffles and pancakes. The Sue Gregg cookbooks have some of our favorite recipes. We use her blender batter recipe (which is in the free cookbook on her web site) for waffles all the time using quinoa or rice. Another of my favorite foods is buffalo. We use it the same way we would use beef, but I think it tastes much better.

A couple years ago, these would not have been on my list of favorite foods. In fact, I’ve just recently tasted them! We keep trying new foods, so keep checking back for my new favorites!
