We wrap all of these in plastic wrap, cover them with foil and label them before we place them into the freezer. www.LinesFromTheVine.com

I’m sharing our favorite baked oatmeal recipe. It was given to us by a very good friend. There are those friends who have just been there forever. They may not be part of your life every single day but they are in your heart. Such is life with my friend, Sheryl. More than 20 years ago, she was part of…

Slime

(You may have to mix it some with your fingers.) *This slime will not stain your fingers after it has been mixed well! Also, the longer it’s worked, the…

This Week on Pinterest- Room Deodorizers

Tracy / October 30, 2012

I’ve very much enjoyed making our own cleaning and personal products. Following last week’s post on deodorant and toothpaste, we decided to try this recipe for homemade room deodorizers. I happened to have the heart shaped silicon molds. Target almost always has these for a dollar or two in their dollar section at the front of the store. I know…

Freezer Meals- Baked Fajitas

Tracy / August 15, 2012

Pumpkin Pie

Tracy / November 8, 2010

Most of my family knows what my absolute favorite food in the world is… my Great-Grandmother used to make the BEST pumpkin pie. She always kept them wrapped in the freezer for me and would pop them out at various times of the year. It made me feel so special — I know she did this for other family members…

Hot Cocoa

Tracy / October 25, 2010

Courtney comes to me at least once a week and asks if I would like her to make me a little “somethin’ somethin”. I’m not a coffee drinker, so a cup of hot cocoa in the mornings once or twice a week is quite a treat! When I was a little girl, I would spend many summer days with my…

1-2-3-4 Birthday Cake/ Mama’s Quicker Frosting

Tracy / September 20, 2010

“Birthday season” is upon us. This is my absolute favorite birthday cake recipe! It’s pretty generic and can be adapted by adding nuts, or changing the flavoring just a bit. I love Paula Deen’s recipes anyway, but this is one of her best! 1-2-3-4 Birthday Cake 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature 2 cups sugar 4 eggs 3…
