Thanks for stopping by! I'm Magi, a scratch cooking, homeschooling mama, learning to raise good kids, good food, and good fun on our teeny-tiny little farm!
Oh my. We have been on a bit of a wacky cake kick. We love the classic cake, but we’ve been playing with the recipe, and have some variations that are to die for! Actually “we” is a misnomer. I hardly get involved at all […]
I can’t believe it hasn’t occurred to me to share this recipe before now. I literally tell someone how to make this at least once a month. The conversation goes something like this: Friend: I would eat white rice at home, if only I could make it […]
Awhile back I mentioned that I was working on a recipe for wheat and sugar free peanut butter cookies. I think I’ve got it tasty enough to share. The original recipe called for sugar, eggs and peanut butter, but I always try to find ways to […]

Welcome back to my pantry cooking series! As I mentioned in week one, cooking from the pantry helps us minimize grocery store runs, and take-out meals, as well as being handy if we just don’t want to leave home. One thing I find worth mentioning though, […]
One of my personal goals has been to learn how to cook from my pantry. It really helps us to be able to shop less often, which cuts out many impulse purchases. It also helps us eat fewer box and bag type meals. I thought it’d be fun […]
