We love our fire pit and use it year-round. My husband has become a great fire starter but we found out that having a little help makes it less work to get the fire going.  I’ve been making these fire starter rolls for a couple of years now and they’re super easy and cost little to nothing to make.  Materials you need: Cardboard tubes Dryer Lint Cookie Tin Candles Wax paper Empty can or a wax pouring pot Essential oils, if you desire Pan with water Potholder Instructions : Create a double boiler by placing the empty can or pot in the pan with water. Make sure the can is clean and dry. Place the candle into the can/pot. Heat the water to melt the candle wax. Drop a few drops of essential oils in the hot wax and stir. (Below are some essential oils you may use if you would like to keep the mosquitos away.) Line the bottom of the tin with wax paper. Stand the cardboard tubes up on the end in the cookie tin.   Stuff some lint into each tube. Leave a bit of room to tuck the wa...

  As I was looking for my bread machine book recently, the drawer was such a mess that I decided to clean it out.  While cleaning out the drawer I found this Milk and Honey Bread recipe for bread makers.  It sounded so good I had to try it.  So, I got my bread machine out, and low and behold the book was inside the machine.  Too late, I had already decided to try this recipe.  Besides, if this recipe flopped, I had time to make my regular bread. Milk and Honey Bread Recipe Ingredients :  1 cup plus 1 TBS milk   3 TBS honey (I used my husband’s honey, Pop’s Bees )    3 TBS butter (melted) 1.5 teaspoons salt   3 cups bread flour   2 teaspoons active dry yeast (not bread machine yeast) Instructions : Add ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your bread machine manufacturer.    Settings:    Basic with Medium crust  Size: 1.5 lb This bread turned out GREAT!!   As you ...

BLT DEVILED EGGS Mom  and I decided to do something different and thought deviled eggs was a good one. We had all ingredients so thought we would give it a try. INGREDIENTS 1 dozen hard-boiled eggs peeled 1/4 cup mayonnaise 1 tablespoon honey mustard -- we made our own 4 strips candied bacon diced small -- we used plain bacon 2 handfuls small cherry tomatoes quartered 1 handful basil leaves chopped -- we used dried basil Chili powder to dust We had the ingredients, adjusted the recipe for 3 eggs,  boiled the eggs and cooked bacon in microwave. Funny story! Mom dumped the bacon on the paper towel. I said, "Make it nice." She shook her head. I said, "We are on Social media you know!" She tried to straighten it up. LOL!

Add mayo and honey mustard to the yolks and mix until well combined and sort of fluffy. Note: We advise adding ...
