This week has been extremely busy gathering the last of the harvest from the orchard and garden. We’ve been making pearsauce galore to can, pulling onions to cure, storing butternut squash, acorn squash, and spaghetti squash, and last, but not least, baking pumpkins to puree for the freezer.

Easy Reversible Poncho

October 8, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} Leave a Comment

I love this time of year when there’s a nippiness to the air. It also heralds the poncho sewing season at our house. We’ve been sewing these for years not only for my girls but also as gifts. They are easy to sew, taking only 1 hour for the inexperienced sewer. All sizes are girls’ […]

When I first made these a couple of weeks ago I was worried my family wouldn’t like them. My fears were set to rest however when Special Dark (the pickiest of the bunch) came and started licking the batter from his fingers, over and over again! These are not too pumpkin-y. In fact I heard […]

Boston Cream Cupcakes

September 19, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} Leave a Comment

Every once in a while when I feel like being wicked I like to eat eclairs, or twinkies, or cupcakes that have cream filling. These cupcakes don’t have the typical fatty sugary filling, instead it is just pudding. These are so easy to make my daughters, Brownie and Fudge, followed the recipe themselves. Boston Cream […]

September 16, 2009 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 12 Comments

Aren’t these pumpkins cute? Call me cheap. Or frugal. But they are made by wrapping a roll of toilet paper with fabric. The girls are wanting to decorate for fall. I was going through our fall decorations and realized we needed some new ones but didn’t want to take a ton of time to actually […]

Raspberry Rhubarb Freezer Jam

We love both the tart taste of rhubarb and the sweet taste of raspberries. What better way to combine the two than in a jam? This recipe has the perfect balance of sweet and tart. We used rhubarb we had in the freezer from my SIL’s crop this spring. Raspberry Rhubarb Freezer Jam 6 cups […]
