Shalom Y’all,
One thing I want to do more consistently is update my blog with personal entries. A dear friend of mine, Sylvia Britton of the Christian Homekeeper Network sent me this idea today and I love it! That structure helps me from rambling on too much (oh dear, am I already rambling? ), [...]

Today I topped the crust with local venison that I had slowcooked with organic fire-roasted diced tomatoes, garlic and organic Tamari. I added baby spinach and mozzarella. Deee-Lish!
Look for the recipe on [...]

Braiding the Challah

Braiding the Challah
