You will find here a continually growing resource of recipes, ideas, and suggestions for blessing your family--as well as friends & extended family & others--with creations from your kitchen.

Being an artist, I see baking and cooking as another art form, as another way to express myself creatively. And it is an art form that is open to *anyone.* Follow directions, use a timer [I *always* do!], and you will be a "kitchen arteest" in no time!

I once read that it is believed by some in the scientific community that the love and care that goes into hand-prepared foods incorporates something that cannot be duplicated in restaurant or packaged meals . . . something that adds to the well-being of those we cook for. While not wanting to sound the least bit hocus-pocus, I believe this could very well be the case. I believe our God has left us with plenty of "invisibles" to discover in our world [oxygen was one of them long, long ago!], and this may just be one. With this knowledge, I am inspired even more to express my love to my family and others through the foods I create in my kitchen. I am always so blessed when I see how some mere food I've created brings another person immense joy.

Let your kitchen be a ministry!

God bless,
Jim'n'Cari

*~*~*A MERRY CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR YOU*~*~*
After receiving special requests for some of my Christmas recipes, I decided to do a special Moose Trail Acres Christmas Goodies Cookbook to share with our friends and website visitors.

To get a quick view of the recipes in the online version, go to
MTA Christmas Goodies Cookbook.

If you would like an MS Word document that you can save to your computer and print the actual cookbook, click below.
Printable MTA Christmas Goodies Cookbook.

And as one more option for those who just want a quick and easy way to save or copy or quickly print the recipes, I offer a simple Notepad text version.

As a special treat for Autumn (and Winter), I offer this recipe for Spiced Orange Cider. I keep this simmering in a crock most days throughout autumn and winter.

SPICED ORANGE CIDER
3 qts. apple juice or cider
3 qts. orange juice
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. allspice

Combine all and heat to simmering. Serve in cozy mugs, and enjoy!


The following sections will be added soon, and will be updated from time-to-time, so please check back!

Menu Planning
Suggestions, ideas, and a downloadable form or two for planning menus. Having a plan takes away a lot of the fret and worry of home-cooked meals--and it saves on the budget.

Packing Lunches
It can be tough to pack delicious, nutritious lunches on a daily basis and still have a great variety.

Takeout Outreach
There are so many ways we can reach out to others with our kitchen creations to bring blessings into their lives.
