I have tried to make ribs many ways (in the oven, straight on the grill) but the most tender, moist and delicious ribs I have ever made were done in the slow cooker. So, it's my new way of making them and they turn out amazing EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. They are messy and you need a million napkins on the table but I promise that this Slow Cooker Tender Pork Ribs recipe will soon become a family favorite. And you can even start them at 1 pm and have super tender meat on the table by 5 pm. It's ... View the Post

Today for the Art of Homemaking Hannie and I are sharing one of our ... View the Post

I found that my cookies and cakes never came out right...they were either flat pancakes on the cookie sheet or they turned out hard as rocks. But over the years I *think* I have tried and found some recipes that work super well for higher altitudes. Although there is one that I am still lacking....a moist and dense chocolate cake recipe made from scratch. That one is still a ... View the Post
The Art of Homemaking: Homemade White Bread Recipe
On Monday I promised you my homemade white bread recipe and today I am delivering good on my promise. I really love this bread recipe because it turns out every time and is easy enough to still make for dinner if I start it by 4 pm.

And the best part about it.....I can make the kids eat leftovers (or soup!) if there is a loaf or two of fresh bread to go with it ;) A mom's dream... Homemade White Bread ... View the Post
