Rieska Bread Recipe
Rieska bread is a delicious Finnish flatbread. This Rieska bread recipe is a perfect side to soups and stews. Or you can enjoy it with butter and jam, peanut butter, or honey on it. I tend to make Rieska when I am making soups and in particular this beef stew recipe. It is absolutely delicious, light and fluffy! What Type of Pan to Use? I like to use a baking stone when I make Rieska bread. The baking stone gives it a crispy crust while leaving the inside soft and delicious! I use this Pampered Chef baking stone, but purchasing…
Sun Voyager Gulfstream Motorhome Project
Last summer we purchased a 1992 Sun Voyager Gulfstream Class A Motorhome. We purchased the RV knowing we had a very big project on our hands. But we got it for a deal and it had a diesel Cummins engine (apparently this is a good thing 😆). This is a project that we are very excited to get started on! Why Renovate a Motorhome? Campers and especially motorhomes can be very expensive. When we purchased our first motorhome, we purchased it at a great price, fixed it up, and sold it making a profit. So we want to do that…
Beef Stew with Leftover Roast Beef
Today I am going to share our family’s favorite beef stew that is made with leftover roast beef.

This easy roast beef stew is a meal that you can easily prepare for your family and…
Simple Christmas Wreath for Front Door
I am sharing my Simple Grapevine Christmas Wreath that I made for the front door. This Christmas season I am craving simplicity and less clutter. Starting with the Christmas wreaths – I have kept them simple with a pop of red which is perfect for this holiday season. For a front door wreath, I like to use a grapevine wreath. This is for a few reasons, but mainly because it will hang nicely on a command hook and will not get blown off by the wind. (hang on while I go check on my wreath right now 😆). Another reason…
DIY Hoop Christmas Wreath
Today I am going to show you How to Make a DIY Hoop Christmas Wreath. This Christmas Season gives me all of the feelings to create some new Simple Christmas Decor. A Hoop Christmas Wreath seemed to be the perfect way to add a little simplicity to the Christmas Cheer around the house. To make this wreath, I am going to use the supplies that I am surrounded with. And that is live tree branches. One of the many plus sides to living in Northern MI! Lots and lots of selection of pine and cedar trees. I am going to…
Dark Green Rustic Modern Kitchen Island
I am excited to finally be able to share our new dark green kitchen island! I have been wanting a change in our kitchen for a while. Upgrading our kitchen island was the perfect way to create a rustic modern kitchen style that I had been looking for. Modern Rustic Kitchen Design Our previous kitchen island was always a temporary solution. The cabinet was the lower portion of a hutch with a wood butcher block countertop attached. A few years ago, I painted the cabinet green and stenciled the back portion of it for a farmhouse kitchen look. You can…
