Jam

Every fall my mom and I make jam.

it's heaven.

It's also a lot of work, and takes most of a day, but we don't mind.

Last year we made Raspberry jam, it has taken me a whole year to eat it.

This year we branched out and made:

Triple berry

Strawberry

Peach-Raspberry

 

This is one of the first things I learned to do as a wife, and mother that

makes me feel... domestic.

 

But it's mostly selfish because I do it so my oatmeal tastes

AMAZING!

 

 

I didn't take a single picture of the finished jam,

but I'm not sharing so it wouldn't really be fair anyway :)

Pear Pie

What do you do with extra pears after bottling? Make Pear Pie of course.  I got this recipe from Scott's family and it is delish!!!! 

Sinful Sunday

Sunday I made this!!

Last Sunday we had Stake conference (Sept 11), I really debated about going.  I like Stake Conference, but with a baby it's just so hard.  I know from now on it will always be crazy on Sunday's and I just need to go and see how little man does, but for now, a restful Sunday at home felt nice. 

Not to be wasteful with my time I found this website with a recipe for Peanut butter Fudge Trifle!!!!!

 This was amazing! I took it to my folks house, because I knew I would eat it all by myself if it was left here.  it was so rich and yummy and amazing.... I may have to make another...

 Along with my awesome dessert making skills you can see my awesome gardening skills.  We planted 8 stalks of corn, 7 got blown over by the wind, 1 grew to full plant "adulthood" and produced one ear of corn... that never got any kernels... it was sad.  Clearly I have missed my calling as a farmer.

The mess!!  Totally worth it!!
