Happy May Day, friends!!! I believe flowers to be one of God’s best gifts to this world. What variety!!! What colors!!! The detail. Ruffles and layers and intricacy. Variety! They feed our senses. Flowers bless our eyes with beauty. Sweet fragrances meet our pause-and-inhale. The gentle sway of a row of tulips breathes peace. A […]
Braided Yeast Roll Wreaths
We had snow over the weekend and it made everything so pretty and made an instant Christmas-ey feel! There were icicles hanging along the edges of the porch and they were beautiful in the morning sunlight. They fascinate me with their glassy shimmer and splendid shine. It started warming up and they began to […]
Flowered Handpies
Handpies. Isn’t the name itself enchanting? Because who doesn’t want pie you can hold in your hand?!

Because it stands to reason, if you don’t like pie, most likely you aren’t doing long Google searches for pie, […]

There are very few places where the soul is truly safe, where the knowing, the questions, the longings of the soul are welcomed, received, and listened to rather than evaluated, judged, or beaten out of us. ~ Ruth Haley Barton This quote has long been a favorite of mine and I’m pretty sure it’s on […]
Leaf Design Apple Pie

Teff Flour Chocolate Brownie Pie
One of the first thing I noticed about gluten-free recipes was the variety of flours. Rice flour. Brown rice flour. Coconut flour. Almondmeal. Flaxseed. Sweet Rice. Tapioca Flour. Teff Flour. I started a collection of different flours and I had a couple of recipes that called for Teff flour. Thing is I wasn’t finding Teff […]

In the Farmhouse Kitchen ~ Peanut Butter Pie
When my sister and her family were here, we celebrated my middle niece’s birthday. She chose peanut butter pie and peach crisp for her dessert. I had pie crusts in the freezer, so it wasn’t too hard to make a gluten-free peanut butter pie and a regular crust peanut butter pie. I took a few […]
