Feeling under the weather? Perhaps you just need some good, old-fashioned rest and a comforting bowl of warm soup! My Great-Grandmother always had the best remedies for illness. My Mom often mentions the warm drink she would make when she realized you might be catching a cold. I can’t remember what exactly was in it, but it was warm and…

I’ve been feeling a little under the weather for the past few weeks. Nothing too bad, but definitely not normal. We thought it was probably time to confirm what we suspected: It looks like baby Lambert #11 will be joining our family in 2011! God is so good! Everyone here is excited. The younger children are already debating whether we…
Garlic Smashed Potatoes
Growing up, I guess I always took for granted that my Mom always made mashed potatoes from real (whole!) potatoes. They were so yummy…I always looked forward to them when they were being served.
