Coleslaw 2 (no mayo version)

Mrs. Rhodes 6 Comments

A while back I shared two ways I make my cole slaw. I forgot to share another one I make from time to time. This one is a vinegar based recipe that’s good for people who can’t use or don’t like mayonnaise. It also holds up better for outdoor BBQs.

Oil and Vinegar Cole Slaw

14-16 oz. Bag Coleslaw mix

1/4 cup White or Apple Cider Vinegar

2Tbsp. Sugar (or adjust amount for other sweetner of choice)

2 Tbsp. Oil

1 tsp. Celery Seeds

1/4 tsp. Sea salt (or salt of choice)

1/8 tsp. White or black pepper

Directions:

In a large bowl add vinegar, sugar (or substitute), oil, celery seeds, salt and pepper. Mix well until combined. Pour Coleslaw mix in and toss until all of the slaw is moisturized. Transfer to an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Bless the Lord, O my soul

Psalms 103:1-5

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
3 Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Be humble, pray, and seek His face

–2 Chronicles 7

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”

Homemade Breakfast Sausage

Mrs. Rhodes 6 Comments

I have made my own breakfast sausage many times using ground pork (for pork sausage), ground beef (for beef sausage), ground venison, ground chicken, and ground turkey (for chicken or turkey sausage). I have even done a 1/2 and 1/2 mix with beef and pork, beef and venison, or chicken (or turkey) and pork. They all come out tasty and much cheaper than buying name-brand sausages filled with MSG and other unhealthy additives. Once you see how easy this is to make you’ll wonder why you haven’t tried this before.

Homemade Breakfast Sausage

Ingredients:
1.5 lbs. ground pork, venison, beef, turkey, or chicken (can use any ground meat of your liking)
1 tsp. Salt (I like sea or Real Salt)
1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. ground sage
1 tsp. regular or smoked paprika
2 tsp. brown sugar (or Maple Syrup- see note below)
3/4 tsp. thyme
½ tsp. garlic powder
½ tsp. ground fennel seed (optional)
1/4 tsp. marjoram
1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (use more to make it spicy if you’d like)
1 Tbsp. olive oil (if using only venison, chicken, or turkey)

Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl. The flavors blend in better if you make this a few hours ahead of time. After mixing in a bowl, cover and chill (or refrigerate it overnight) before cooking. When ready to cook, shape into 8-9 patties and cook in a heated skillet with a little olive oil (if using chicken or turkey) about 4-5 minutes per side or until done. Serve with your breakfast, or freeze cooked sausage in Ziploc bags for later use. These are good with biscuits!

Being a confident Homemaker

Mrs. Rhodes Leave a comment

Although some may say otherwise, many women feel the pressure to justify their decision to be a homemaker. Add not having any children in the home (for whatever reason), and that’s a whole other problem in itself. You don’t have to feel like you made the wrong decision to choose homemaking as your calling. You also don’t have to currently have children at home to justify being a homemaker. There are many reasons why that is the case, but it does not make any difference. Quiet the voices all around you, be at peace, and boldly live out God’s plan for you despite what others may think.
