The ability to make paleo tortillas opens up a whole new world of fun recipe possibilities! Get the recipe below. Tortillas are one of those things that everybody loves... and once you go grain-free, you're sure to miss them. We eat lettuce-wrapped “tacos," but it's really not the same.

Awhile back, I did a post on shade tolerant flowers. Then, I thought to myself, what is better than shade tolerant flowers? Shade tolerant perennials, that’s what. You only have to plant them once, but still, you get year after year of color. Perfecto. First, remember that in most cases, shade tolerant doesn’t mean fully Read More >>
There's just something about opening a can of spaghetti sauce... Said no one ever. Every household needs a recipe for homemade marinara sauce because it's such a staple ingredient in many of our Italian-American dishes, such as spaghetti and lasagna. And nothing out of a can or a jar even comes close to tasting as delicious as what you can make in your own kitchen. Can I get an amen?

There's something wonderful about writing a garden diary. It's a great way to keep a record of everything you've planted. When you planted it and where you planted it. If your crop was hugely successful or a big flop! It's wonderful to look back over the years and see what you were up to.... and what the weather was doing. Planning ahead for the coming year is a crucial part of vegetable gardening. I'm sure if you're reading this you will know you need to rotate your crops for 4 years to stop the build up of pests in the soil and to stop the soil getting stripped of the same nutrients. I often refer back to my diary which has planting plans, names of favourite varieties of tomatoes I've enjoyed and ones I haven't! Photos of the first crops appearing and the greenhouse under a foot of snow. I hope this inspires you to do one of your own.
Welcome Friends! I am glad you could come because I want to show off our little rose garden today as the roses are at their peek in here.Some of our roses haven't started to bloom yet but these hardy ones are always early.. It is a small enclosed garden at the south of our Gardener's Cottage. If you are new here and would like to see inside the Gardener's Cottage click here and here. I see you took your bicycle-it does look pretty. Come on in and have a seat. The vintage wicher pistachio green chairs are pretty comfortable. The roses are climbing high this year. My angel adds some charm. I love this antique pitcher with a big bouquet and the sweet little birdhouse. Have a cup of tea and enjoy a book for awhile. It is a cozy little secluded spot-don't you think? This area is surrounded by roses(mostly Therese Bugnet) and a beautybush behind the angel. Of all the pictures I took that day(last week) this is one of my favorites. It makes me smile every time. I have been getting some garden questions lately and one day soon I will do a post on the making of our garden. If anyone has any questions-fire away and I will answer them in the post. We have a few more tours in the next five days and then a break so I will have a little more time then-although I confess it is hard to drag me indoors in summer! I am joining My Romantic Home for Show and Tell Friday and The Rose Garden in Malevik for Show Off Saturday. Take care, Carolyn

Madison, Georgia has numerous antique stores and flea markets to shop away the hours in. Also many restaurants and coffee shops are located downtown. I usually eat a fried green tomato sandwich at The Chop House. These images are from The Madison Market and garden shop next door. They sell mostly European antiques inside and have an upscale restaurant in back. To see my first post on the Madison Market in October click here. Happy Friday Olive

Valkosuklaafudgen viimeistelee itse valittu makuaine. Pikakahvi tekee fudgesta maitokahvimaisen, kirsikat tuovat kirpeyttä makean vastapainoksi ja gochujang koukuttaa nappaamaan vielä yhden palan. Minkä maun valitset?

I'm back, and I am a little sleep deprived. Back from what? you say, that would be Girl's Camp! I would like to share some of the things we made at camp. The first thing isn't really something that we made but I want to share how cool it was. See this burning log up above, my friend's husband made this out of a log. She said , that it is made with a chain saw. He started out by making a triangle wedge down the center of the log, you don't want to go through the bottom. This is already burning but you can kind of see how it is cut down the center. You then need to make a vent hole near the bottom, so it is kind of like a chimney. Then pour a little charcoal lighter fluid in the hole at the top of the log and throw in a match and you will have an eternal flame.(well it really doesn't burn forever but depending on the log it does burn about 6-8 hours.) It is really interesting because even though the inside is burning the outside remains cool and you can even pick it up and move it if you want. The girls loved it and it is kind of mesmerizing to watch. This would be great for a family reunion or even a party in your back yard, this is so fun! We also made these fun rings, made from buttons and wire. You use a 24 gauge silver wire cut a length about 1 yard long. Then find the middle of the wire and wrap it around the finger that you want to make it on,(make it a little larger than your finger) wrap it three times with the one end of the wire and three times with the other end of the wire, so that you have six strands of wire. Then take the two ends of the wire and make a little twisty tie,(like you do when you are closing a bread bag with wire.) at the top of your loop. Thread the bigger button on first by threading each hole with one end of each wire. Then thread the smaller button in the same way. Make a little twisty tie at the top of the smaller button and then make a swirl of wire for the center. Then take each end of the wire over the edge of the button and start wrapping the wire around the six strands that will be around your finger. Bring the wire down under the button and start wrapping. See how it holds the wires together. Then cut the wire ends and crimp it with some needled nose pliers so that the end of the wire will be smooth. Here are some different variations that the girls made. Aren't they so cute! The girls' loved making these and could have sat there for hours making all sorts of creations. We also made these magnet boards. We had some 12x12 pieces of wood and painted the edges white. Then use mod podge to adhere the paper. Paint on the mod podge on the board and attach a 12x12 piece scrapbook paper. Then attach an 8x8 piece of metal with some strong glue, like amazing goop, and then put whatever embellishments on that you want. I used some paper flowers and buttons on mine, I think I will make some button magnets to put on the board. Now, you have a place to display all of your cute camp pictures. We had a great time hiking, swimming, and crafting and even though it was a blast, I am so ready for a nap!
