We are in the final throws of getting ready for my daughter’s wedding. How did it get here so fast? It seemed so far away back at Christmas when they got engaged. Ack! So obviously my mind has been elsewhere. Today’s Establish a House post is brought to you by one of our favorite foods. […]

Rainbow Pancakes {Hot Cakes}
I can’t believe I haven’t ever shared our hot cake recipe. It makes the best pancakes! You can use either white flour or whole wheat flour. If you use wheat flour make sure to substitute brown sugar for the regular sugar. On St. Patrick’s Day I decided to make rainbow pancakes for lunch, but I […]
Garlic Parmesan Knots
We ate at a local pizzeria this past Wednesday to celebrate Semisweet’s 14th birthday. These garlic parmesan knots were ordered as an appetizer. They were so good we decided to try and replicate them here at home. I think I like our version much better! Garlic Parmesan Knots 1/2 batch buttermilk roll dough1 cup grated […]

Pumpkin Muffins
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. Nothing beats having fresh pumpkin puree to […]
Spiced Pumpkin Waffles
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 […]
Multi Grain Pan Rolls
I haven’t made these delicious rolls in a while. For some reason I’ve been thinking about fall, even though it’s 100 degrees and muggy outside, and these rolls came to mind. They are very healthy, very filling, and oh-so-yummy. Initially made with three different grains: oatmeal, bulgur, and wheat, many times I substitute cooked seven-grain […]
Navajo Fry Bread
Pueblo Fry Bread, Indian Fry Bread….this goes by many names but we call it Navajo Fry Bread because we got the recipe from our good friends the Blackwaters. He is Navajo (grew up living in a hogan and everything!). She’s half Paiute, half Shoshone. We loved eating at their house because of the wonderful fry […]
