Farm Raised Chicken

If you would have told me - even two years ago - that this is what my family would be doing on a Saturday afternoon, I would have thought you hysterical! But none the less, here are the boys processing chickens on a hot June afternoon.



Here is our makeshift, bleached and cleaned outdoor sink. Complete with running water and side shelves to make the job easier.


And here is Charles with a finished product! This looks like a 4 pounder and should be perfect for the rotiserie or for Sunday dinner.

Maple Sugar Time

Cinnamon Swirl Bread

I am really enjoying making breads like this one for the family. This morning, everyone enjoyed a nice slice or two of cinnamon swirl bread, toasted with butter. I know that there are no additives, preservatives, msg or anything I don't want them eating. The crumble topping really adds that special something and we enjoyed it throughly!

Home Made Bagels

Don't they look yummy? Guess what, they are! Flour, water, sugar, salt, yeast and time made these yummy treats. I can't wait until morning when I toast mine and add butter and apple jelly...YUM!
