I am not putting down those who want to work outside the home but I am grateful that I remain home. Its been tight but now I have found another reason for me to continue doing so. It is easier for me to make food from scratch, using products that don't contain a lot of preservatives, then it...

To Grandmother's house we go. Well, I will be a grandmother the end of Ocotober or early Novemember so the song fits. LOL I should point out that my oldest son started early with his family. I am going to be a youngish grandmother. :) MissNorth, having to move so many times due to the military...

I think that West Virginia is a beautiful state and somewhere that I would love to reside. I really like the Appalachians and I would imagine that West Virginia gets cold in the winter. I lived in Iowa and I might be strange but I like some snow. I don't need snow or mountains to be happy, but...

Thank you Koxx. :)

My husband won't be done with his education for another year, so I have plenty of time to compare and plan. I am wide open as far as what states that I could live in. None of my preferences are set in stone. I've already lived in almost evey part of the country except the northeast. My hubby...

I have no preference about weather. Granted, I'd like four season but it isn't necessary. I want a few chickens, a garden and maybe a pig for food.

Once my hubby is done with his education, we plan on moving. We are looking at several states now. Providing that he can find work in said state, which ones have the most inexpensive land. We'd like 5-10 acres.

My goodness, I know of no one who eats as much junk food as that American family did. I think that NPR is playing into the stereotypes of Americans. I don't know how much that I spend at the grocery store on food alone because we don't buy just food at the grocery store. I am guessing...

I haven't been on this forum in a long while and had forgotten about this thread. Thanks. I will have to try some of these recipes They all sound yummy. :drool

This year I am using sonlight and really enjoying it. I like the variety of books that the company supplies and I feel that my girls really are understanding history. Sonlight is expensive though. In years past, I couldn't afford a curriculum. I used the library for history and science. If you...

It is an interesting idea and the woman certainly sounds like she would be nice to know. But I have four kids, two of which are teenagers and three dogs, plus a husband. That would be a bit small for all of us. I live in a 2500sq foot house now though and it is too large for us. I could go...

This isn't exactly a recipe but it works when you run out of regular syrup. Pop a couple Tablespoons of your favorite jam in the microwave fro 10-25 seconds, thin with a little water and pour over the pancakes. It is actually very good and little kids love flavored syrup.

I use the alton brown recipe but I add some onion powder.

Thank you. That sounds like it might work!

I love her site, but I don't think that she has a recipe that makes enough loaves. Really, my kids LOVE homemade bread! I bet I could go through a loaf every day!

My children love my homemade bread but that snack on it. THey can go through a whole loaf in a day! I am trying to stop buying store bought bread but I just don't have the energy to make bread every day. So, is there a easy recipe that makes a LOT of loaves-maybe seven-at once? Trying to...

I live in NC. My husband and I looked into regulations for selling eggs at Farmers Markets. NC has wonderful rules for small farmers. Yes, there is some regulation but it is fair. So, I am blessed to live in a state that allows smaller farmers to sell their meat directly to the consumer.

I am from the backyard chicken forum(same name) and thank you for starting this thread! I agree with everything that you have said. I am a live and let live sort of person. I was surprised at how defensive some of the factory farmers got on BYC when others said that they were doing things...
