And, thank you for this recipe ~ sounds delicious!

Some friends of mine and I found a "local" farm (within easy driving distance, but not here in town) who raises free-range chickens, so we purchase them regularly as a group. Talk about some good-for-you, immune -building broth! (I even bought the feet, shhh!) I put a bit of it up, and we ate a big pot of chicken and dumplin's last night, too. I'm hoping this will come in handy this winter. <BR/><BR/>You're right, it's so easy, it surprised me when I started making it. It is sad that we've forgotten so much! But it has been fun for us to re-learn, and it sounds like it was fun for y'all, too! Sometimes you just crave a slow-cooked, homemade meal, you know?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792610671000365706.post-72071090755226353562007-10-31T22:44:00.000-04:002007-10-31T22:44:00.000-04:00Kate - thanks for the recipe.

We have eliminated hydrogenated oils and are working on high fructose corn syrup now. Everything seems to have it. <BR/><BR/>My "poor" 5 year old had her first Oreo today at a party...bet they thought that was strange :)Mary@notbefore7https://www.blogger.com/profile/17294717852179643696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792610671000365706.post-55606746184626201492007-10-30T07:27:00.000-04:002007-10-30T07:27:00.000-04:00whenever I read your blog I am given a glimpse int...whenever I read your blog I am given a glimpse into the perfect homeschooling world, that does not involve yelling and screaming....seriously..you give me hope that they will indeed learn something some day ;)Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627173421027289789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792610671000365706.post-30325058347923591772007-10-30T07:00:00.000-04:002007-10-30T07:00:00.000-04:00I have chicken soup on the menu TODAY...how perfec...I have chicken soup on the menu TODAY...how perfect is your timing! I agree with you and from the back row...~ a thunderous AMEN!<BR/><BR/>I try, really try to stay on the outside of those asiles...sometimes I am pulled in by an unknown force! BUT..it's critical for all of us...we need to be healthy and food choices are a HUGE part of it, and not just the 'boxed low fat food'....back to 'real' food...good for your soul food..Hey, we are as busy as anyone and a drive thru window or frozen pizza would be easier most days...but I am committed to this one!!<BR/><BR/>Have you read Nourishing Traditions? Some of it is a bit too deep for me...but she really hits to the heart of the matter...<BR/><BR/>great post Kate...and the new picture is adorable!!<BR/>~lorilorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17533409277703652869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792610671000365706.post-28737906520179489532007-10-29T18:42:00.000-04:002007-10-29T18:42:00.000-04:00What wonderful life skills you are giving your chi...What wonderful life skills you are giving your children. I lack so much in this area. We try to eat as healthy as possible, but convenience definitely plays a huge role in our lives.

It's been a while since I've been able to make the rounds of blogdom and come over your way. ;)<BR/><BR/>I love this, though I must confess I am one of those that falls into the "convenience" category. NOT that I want to. I think the whole "from scratch" thing intimidates me. and I'm not easily intimidated! But I think...what if it gets too expensive? what if it's not good enough? what if I don't have the time? blah blah blah<BR/><BR/>But you're right. We are what we eat. And I've been mulling this whole "from scratch" thing around in my head for some time now. So I may just bite the bullet and try that recipe of yours.<BR/><BR/>My husband...who is from a homeschooling family of 8...was raised on making everything like that. So I know he'll definitely be a help and a support in this. :)Christinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200547170096475624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792610671000365706.post-68814180285138419492007-10-29T12:28:00.000-04:002007-10-29T12:28:00.000-04:00Kate, thanks for sharing your challenge!

Yesterday he made a "stone soup" recipe that was fabulous. We can be pretty hit-or-miss with the healthy versus processed foods but we're definitely making progress.
