Antiquing we shall go

Do you go antique shopping? As long as I can remember I have been an antique shopper. The little town I grew up in has another little town near by that claims to be the "Antique Capitol of the World". Growing up the town was full of antique stores, I am not sure if it still is or not.

The little town I now live in has two antique stores. I have my favorite of the two and I can't really tell you why it is my favorite but it is. There is hardly any room to walk in the store, it is busting at the seems with just stuff. Anything you might want....you can find here.

Last week I was on a mission to find some old measuring spoons to use for a project. Luckily I took my hubby with me, he is tall..I am way short. Up on one of the tip top shelves was a basket FULL of measuring spoons! I walked right passed the basket, totally didn't see it. Hubby did though, being all tall and stuff. WooHoo! I ended up getting two sets, just $0.50 each set! Sweet! I also walked out with a pastry cutter and two cookbooks. Of course, can't go antiquing and not get a cookbook!

The books I got where 'The Art of Pennsylvania Dutch Cooking' and 'Baking in a Box, Cooking in a Can'. I can't wait to try recipes from both books! I think we will have LOTS of fun with the 'Baking in a Box' book, sounds like a fun summer time project to me.

Strawberries and Cream Instant Oatmeal | Recipe

I don't know about you but, we go through oatmeal like that is the only thing to eat on this planet! Seriously a TON! My youngest would eat it for every meal and snack....every day....if I let her. Yes, the little packs can be cheap (if you can find a coupon and get them on sale) but it still adds up. I used things I already had on hand so there was no extra cost to make this. FREE is ALWAYS good! I tried before to make little packets to keep on hand but that was a complete fail. I have since reworked the recipe and am happy with the results. I decided to just keep the oatmeal in a glass container this time and scoop out what we need, when we need it. You can also make this into packets by just scooping the desired amount into zip-top bags. {Strawberries & Cream Instant Oatmeal} 12 Servings 6 Cups Quick Cook Oats 1 1/2 Cups Oat Powder 2 Cups Powdered Milk 1 - 1 1/2 Cup Sugar 1 Cup Freeze Dried Strawberries Directions f

Granny's Flitters

I love my family! There are so many things I love about each person and also about all of us as a whole. One of the things I love about my family is we love traditions. Today I am going to share just one of the many traditions we have.....FLITTERS! To me when I think of comfort food, I think of Flitters. It was a special morning to wake up to the delicious smell of flitters frying in the morning. It is one smell that every time I smell I am brought right back to childhood and great memories. I am not really sure where the name "flitters" came from or if someone just made it up. I can tell you how it got started though! My Great, Great Uncle Orville's mom (Grandma Cook) baked bread. On the days she would make extra bread dough she would invite all of her grandkids over for a flitter night. She would make her bread and then the extra dough she would roll out, cut into strips and fry up for the kids to enjoy. That tradition was then passed to my
