It is our family tradition to watch a "Little House on the Prairie" episode every Sunday. Gregg's grandma had given us some money and we purchased the whole set! Anyway, I pulled some beef cubes out of the freezer from our quarter cow and made beef stew. I didn't have enough time to make bread so I tried my hand at biscuits...the boys just gobbled it up. I even served strawberry freezer jam on the biscuits. Ma Ingalls is known for her cooking and she did everything from scratch...just like I did?!??! Except I didn't cook on a fire...and some other small details:-)
I even got out our nice dishes for the occasion. I know, I'm a nut!

How funny! I've been thinking of getting the Little House DVDs as well as Bonanza for our family. So far I've started collecting The Waltons - well, I've got season 1. LOL
The meal looks lovely and I'm sure it was yummy. Enjoy those dishes!!! I try to pull out my china at least once a month - why let it sit and never get used? I'd much rather enjoy it and serve my family + it makes everyone feel festive and special.
I really like your themed dinner! The self-sufficiency charm of LHOTP has always appealed to me too :)
We watched a Little House episode last night, too! We watched "The Camp Out" when the Oleson family joined the Ingalls family on their family camp out.
Dinner looks yummy. Beautiful plate!
I just came across your page and had to say hello! I am also a homeschooling mommy and enjoy the wonderful life of homemaking! :) Have a beautiful and blessed day!
Sounds like fun! We love Little House in our family too. We found a Little House cook book at our library and each child got to pick out something to make.
Blessings,
Amanda
