Hello and Welcome!

Our own little community here in Montana is beginning to open up! Much like another springtime to look to for a little outdoor time, fresh flowers, and the promise of sunshine and good times with family and friends. 

Gardens are being planted, farmer's markets are opening, and social outings planned. I hope these next weeks as they unfold, bring back some joy to your neighborhoods, your family, and you. This has been a trying time for so many. May health and happiness increase as the days go by! I am glad you have joined us today. 

Corn Moussaka

Is your family tired of the same old ground beef recipes? Looking for something delicious, yet still affordable? If so Corn Moussaka needs to be on your dinner table!

Baked Soup with Biscuits

Got soup? Make a delicious dinner by combining homemade soup with a baked biscuit topping! You can even let the kids help make Baked Soup and Biscuits for dinner.

This baked soup idea is especially handy for those busy, busy times when everyone is hungry and there are a million other things that need to get done! Like laundry. And not to put too much on your chore list but it is yard work season! Or relaxing and getting caught up with the family about how their day went. Or even just taking a moment for yourself.
