Welcome

Welcome Friends!! This little blog is for all my friends and family that have requested I share my recipes and other homemaking ideas… As most of you know, we moved onto a 64 acre farm about two years ago… we still have our Family Nights, but now many of us live up here on the farm: Mom and Dad live with Lanny and I, Paula built her house in one of the existing barns, Robbie and Molly built inside the big barn by us… You can check it all out on our blog the Johnson Gap Chronicles… Anyway, I am still fermenting and brewing all over my kitchen, but our Tuesday night dinners are not as large as they used to be. All the grands except 2 are grown, have jobs, live in other cities, and with the recent Covid insanity (and our daughter-in-laws heart transplant) James and Tasha are not out much lately. We just move on and look forward to better days. Thanks for peeking in… check back now and then and I promise to add new recipes and ideas as I am inspired :-) God bless!!

Homemade Vaseline

This is a terrific alternative to vaseline and comes from LittleHouseLiving.com

Homemade Natural Vaseline

Description: When we have a cold and one very runny stuffed up nose there isn't anything better than a nice smear of petroleum jelly across the sore, red, chaffed spots.

Well, except the petroleum part.

Lucky for all of us, it turns out that a homemade, all natural version of "Vaseline" is super easy to whip up! Here's all you need:

Ingredients:
1 ounce Beeswax (Around ⅛ C. A Little More If You Want It Softer)
½ C. Olive Oil

Directions: 

Mix the ingredients together in a small mason jar and set it in a saucepan of water -  heat on a very low heat until the beeswax has melted. While it's warm, pour into a jar or another container. Use as you would Vaseline! This recipe makes enough to put in a little jelly jar.
