There is a great need in our homes for a enriching, exciting children’s bookshelf. If you place a high value on a healthy imagination and inner strength of character, here’s a fabulous list of books for younger children through middle grades.

Celebrate With Festive Chocolate Cranberry Bishop’s Bread
I’ve been waiting ever since last Christmas to give you this mouth-watering Bishop’s bread family recipe which I served along with my fabulous stress-free turkey this Thanksgiving.
And just in case you think this Bishop’s bread is your great-grandmother’s typical heavy fruitcake, think again!
You would be wrong!
There is a distinction between my chocolate cranberry Bishop’s bread and the kind of fruit cake that people make jokes about and pass onto relatives year after year.

We Love Mama’s Quinoa Pizza Bites: Gluten-Free
As the weather heads into fall, I’m collecting recipes that are perfect for cooler days with football/ultimate frisbee in the backyard or a gathering of friends and family. I plan to triple this recipe often and freeze these delectable pizza bites for impromptu use.
As we’ve thought more about going in the direction of Gluten-Free, we discovered quinoa, and we’re crazy about it! We love the taste and the texture – it has a nutty feel to it making it a little crunchy.

Quinoa is a superfood.
This easy and hearty finger snack is perfect if you love pizza, and who doesn’t!

I planted seeds this April, enjoyed watching them spring up in the windowsill, have forgotten to water them for 7-8 days at a time, and 6 months later my little lemon tree forest is luxuriously green and smells fantastic. Best of all, they bear the exciting possibility of fruit!

How to Build A Durable Wind & Weather-Resistant Trellis
Anytime but the dead of winter is a great time to build a center-piece for your garden – a durable, eye-pleasing trellis!
Here are instructions to build a simple arched trellis that will be very strong as well as beautiful. You will leave this one in place all year around. It holds up to high winds – we know because we have had 70-75 mph winds several times during spring and fall tornado-like storms.
We added our trellises between two of our 4’x 8′ raised beds, but there are so many ways this can be done!
Building A Strong Trellis
Check the cattle panel sizes available in your area at the local Tractor Supply, Rural King, or farm store, etc. Ask for 36-38″ wide x 16′ long. This gives more than enough room to walk under, yet easy to reach beans, squash, or melons when you are ready to harvest. …
