I've been feeling the holiday cheer and desiring to discharge my inner home-maker...
I tried to "make," "bake," & "cook" new things this week that i've NEVER endeavored.
1st Challenge:
Home-Making raspberry jam.

My sweet friend, Kim, taught me how. Raspberries were on sale for a great price!
Turn-out: exquisite
2nd Challenge:
Home-making Cinnamon Rolls

I got to baby-sit our Friends children, Parker & Savannah, and they helped me make the rolls! They did great.
Unfortunately, after 4 unsuccessful batches, i gave up. Can it be THAT hard to make sweet rolls! Truthfully, the last batch wasn't too bad. However, this home-making challenge was too hard for me. I should have had a step-by-step coach for my first attempt..JPG)
Turn-out: unattractive tasting :(
3rd Challenge:
Home-cookin Veggies YUM!!
Turn-out: FAB
4th Challenge:
Home-Dehydrated Apples
Turn-out: Lip-smacking
5th Challenge:
Home-making Cookies
For mia-maid & neighbor gifts

Oh my! You are quite the homemaker Sarah! You almost inspired me to bake something. Maybe when we're all in CA together :). Can't wait to see you.
You just need your mama next to you to make those cinnamon rolls. Hers are to die for! (As you probably know). Trust me, this home maker thing gets a little easier each year. Keep up the practicing and you'll do great. Actually, I think you did great already. Those other dishes look wonderful.
I actually am quite impressed. It actually all looks really good, especially the vegetables. Love you lady!
I love your new healthy blog. I printed out the whole thing to hang on my fridge! You are an amazing writer and I love your positive attitude!
All of your food looks amazing! I wish I had more time to do stuff like that. And who cares what your sweet rolls look like? It's all about how they taste. And what is a snow gun? Skyler might need one!
We went private a few weeks ago. Skyler wanted to for work purposes. I went along with it, but I don't like it. Email you so I can add you and you can see our blog. costaricaelise at gmail dot com
I want one of those jams for Christmas. Can't wait till next week.
You must tell me where you got this snow gun!! And by the way... I love your new website! It's making me want to get all skinny and eat only what i can shoot and pick! :) thanks!!
