Brandied Cranberry Sauce

I like cranberry sauce quite a bit.  I especially like a few tablespoons in my homemade goat yogurt.  I bought several bags of cranberries when they were on sale around Thanksgiving and froze them.  Over the weekend I got around to making and canning up some sauce.  And not just any cranberry sauce – a [...]

No More Shame

December 24, 2011

I don’t normally talk about these kinds of things here at Two Frog Home, but it is time.  For a long time I wanted to keep it private because I was ashamed but you know what I don’t want to be ashamed any longer.  I don’t want to be ashamed of who I am, who [...]
