We met our first goal for 25 likes on Facebook today, so we will be giving away a tube of Chicken Poop Lip Junk tomorrow morning at 10:00 AM CST, so be sure to "like" us! We will be having another drawing when we hit 100, and it will be a goodie bag of natural products. Help support our page by sharing it with others so we can hurry up and hit 100!

First recipe share

If you've never tried sausage creole (or even if you have!), you've gotta try this one. It is our family recipe (from my aunt) and after a few tweaks, I think we got it perfect. Let me know what you think!

Sweet & Spicy Sausage Creole

1 pkg sausage links (I prefer Ekrich), cut into bite size pieces
1 can Rotel
1 can diced tomatoes
4 cans water
1 small onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
3 Tbsp. brown sugar
1/3 cup worcestshire sauce (mom swears by French's!)
3 cups cooked white rice

Brown sausage in large pot. Add onions & bell peppers. Cook for 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, water, brown sugar and worcestshire. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 20 minutes (note: the longer it simmers, the spicier it will be!). When finished, add the rice and stir. Enjoy!

Here, chick chick chick...


If you've ever thought about raising chickens, head on over to http://www.backyardchickens.com/ . They are very helpful for beginners. You can order chicks by mail at http://www.idealpoultry.com/ or http://www.mcmurrayhatchery.com/ . They really do make great pets (the kids love them) and there's always the plus of getting free eggs. The picture above is of our chicken, Mama. We've had her nearly 3 years now. She's survived a racoon AND dog attack, poor thing, but she is the sweetest chicken I have yet to meet.
