The Unglamorous Side of Making It All

The only problem with our mostly from scratch mostly real food kitchen, is that the inner minimalist hidden inside of me feels overwhelmed if I don’t stay on top of all of it. Luckily there is always a plan and most of this will be cleaned by the end of the day.

Elk sausage patties, short ribs in the instant pot with sweet potato jo jos and chipotle aioli, dishes will rotate but they are never ending, pinto beans soaking to turn into refried beans and more for a quick dinner when needed, eggs to trade with a friend, eggs to wash and use for breakfast today, and finally-sourdough starter freshly fed and waiting for the next experiment.

I’m also going to attempt grilled chicken tenderloins for lunches, chopping veggies, and {if time permits} I’m out of sauerkraut so I want to start a new batch.

Overnight Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls

I've been tweaking this overnight sourdough cinnamon roll recipe over the last few months and I think it's finally, exactly, the way I like it. We love this for slow weekend mornings, to take to family and friends, or for special holiday get togethers. It's also the same recipe I use when making them to sell locally. I've been keeping it under wraps for no reason in particular but it's just too good not to share. I don't have a reliable kitchen scale so this recipe uses good old fashion cups and goes a lot by the feeling of the dough. It will get messy but don't be discouraged if it doesn't turn out just right the first time. No matter the flop, these cinnamon rolls will never disappoint taste wise.

Keeping up with the Sadlers

Lincoln favorite new past time, listen closely for "Dada" Dylan had cowboy day at school and could dress up and meet "real cowboys". We live in a hick town and his school was having an assembly about the cowboy way , or having character. Yes, Lincoln's bib is purplish, but it says I Love my Sister so it's ok :) Cute big boy outfit Auntie Jackie got Lincoln, while sticking out his tongue. I think it looks like a little pickle. Weird, another tongue shot, he does it a lot. While playing with a plush orange (like the fruit) it sort of landed like this and I thought it looked a little like a bikini top and snapped a pic. Hey you have to have fun with life right?

Sickness and Pregnancy

I feel yucky today. I've had a sore throat since yesterday and that doesn't help with me not wanting to do anything but at least I got some things done. I made it to Dylan's swimming lessons on time, vacuumed the house, took in Danielle's Tolo dress with my new sewing machine and got all of the snacks ready that I am supposed to bring to Mops tomorrow. So I got some things done, but I have a feeling I am going to be going to be early tonight. poopy. I am at 15 weeks now so baby is like 4.5 inches long and an ounce and a half, crazy. Haven't gained any weight yet, actually lost another pound since last check up but the doctor isn't too worried. So I guess I shouldn't be too much either. Just trying to keep up a somewhat healthy diet through all this :)
