I used to post regularly on Fridays with updates on what we had been doing as a family, things I had pinned, recipes or crafts I had tried, etc. I still want to do that, but in order to hold myself accountable to simple living I want to focus more on what I'm doing to …

Friday File 35
This has been quite the week for me. I've been sick with the flu that wouldn't leave. I used essential oils to help with my breathing, vitamin C powder to give myself megadoses of this vitamin and the occasional ibuprofen when the aches and headache just felt too overwhelming. I finally feeling like I'm getting …
Time to do the Dishes
Breakfast is over so it's time to clean the kitchen. This has been a fun week, and I hope you have discovered some new menus for your breakfasts. I didn't talk about meats - bacon, sausage, etc. - or drinks. Everyone has their own preferences for these. For that matter, I didn't really get into …
Breakfast Time – Eggs
We're down to the end of our week about "Breakfast Time". I've enjoyed doing this series. My family has enjoyed having some variety in their breakfasts so I could take pictures of different breakfasts. So now we come to eggs. Eggs are a perfect breakfast food. They can be fast to prepare and are full …
Breakfast Time – Cold Cereal

But when the waitress comes I always end up getting the pancakes. What can I say? I love pancakes - buttered …
Breakfast Time – French Toast
French toast is something I don't often make which is kind of funny because I loved this as a child and teenager. I still like French toast, but we eat bread pretty much every day for lunch so I don't much feel like having it at breakfast too. I've put together a list of …
Breakfast Time – Muffins
I had something else planned for this post about muffins, but it fell through. I'll have to work on getting it put together at a later date. In the meantime, I searched the internet and came up with a list of muffin recipe and ideas plus added my favourite muffin recipe at the end. Did …
Breakfast in Literature
Quite often food is mentioned in literature. We relate to people when they eat because it's one way we relate to each other in life as well. One book in particular comes to mind - Farmer Boy - by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The meals Almanzo and his family eat are often described dish after delicious …
Breakfast Time – Oatmeal
Oatmeal - I love it. For me it is absolutely the best breakfast. We like to have steel cut oats. They're less processed than rolled oats and therefore more nutritious. Right now our supplier is out so we are enjoying rolled oats instead. I have found that a ratio of two to one works …
