We've been enjoying this sweet relish for years. Most barbecues at our house include a jar of this delectable condiment and it's just not the same without it. We also love this sweet relish on sandwiches, it really sends them over the top. If you've never had a home canned sweet relish in your life you are missing out. Don't even bother with the store junk because it doesn't even stand a chance of comparison. And guess what else is so awesome about this recipe? You can make it with either cucumbers OR zucchini! That's right zucchini. And we've made it both ways and there really isn't a lot of difference in the final product. It's just. Plain. Awesome. Oh and look at these jars. Aren't they stunningly beautiful? There's something just gorgeous about jars of home canned anything. Aren't they beautiful? Before I share the recipe let me just remind you that if you're new to canning, please read over the points from the canning introductio...

How's your summer going? We've been having a lot of success with our summer plan . Of course things are never perfect, but there's been a lot of fun filled activities that everyone's enjoyed. We got this idea for homemade slime from a trip to the library actually. In one of their programs they made this for the kids to touch and as soon as we got home we had to whip up a batch ourselves. I love it because it's so easy to make, in fact my 6-year old made it himself with just a little help. He's spent many happy hours playing with this since. Hurray for cheap fun!

Okay remember last month when I was complaining of the heat ? Yeah that was nothing. And remember those dreams of happily sipping mango slushies while the kids frolick peacefully in the sunshine? Yeah well at least I've got the slushie part down. We're still working on the peacefully frolicking part I'm afraid. Are you in the same boat? Never fear because now you can practice even more with these watermelon slushies. Seriously these are so good.  I have to admit I was a little wary of them when I first saw the recipe. Let me try to explain. We're kind of watermelon snobs in our family. Not kidding. My Mom is a watermelon lover. People have called her Watermelly as a nickname. This is kind of a tangent but she and and I had a watermelon contest on the 4th of July. We didn't plan it or anything, but I should have realized there was no way I should mess with her expertise. We both picked out watermelons from two different stores and we opened them both to see which was...

One of the things I hate most during the summer is heating up the hot oven to cook. We have a kitchen air conditioner unit, but I try to use natural methods of cooling my house to avoid having to turn it on. That's just one of the reasons I'm so excited to share this wonderful bread recipe with you that I've only recently discovered. It's amazing and you can cook it using a skillet without needing to heat up your oven. Isn't that awesome? My kids all cheer when they hear I'm making this bread. They LOVE LOVE LOVE it! And I do too. Are you're wondering what Naan is? It's a traditional Indian flatbread that's soft and chewy and absolutely delicious. The traditional baking method is a lot different than I'll show you here, but this method makes delicious bread and is a lot easier to do at home. Naan Bread (Indian Flatbread) Printable Recipe INGREDIENTS: 1-1/2 Cups milk 1 tsp. sugar 1 tsp. salt 2 Cups whole-wheat flour 1/2 tsp. instant yeast 1-2 Cup...
