Valentines Day Table Centerpiece

Each year our church, Elm Grove Community Church, puts on a wonderful marriage conference. I love how our congregation is wise enough to invest into the marriages in our community. Every year, I'm in charge of the Caesar Salad and some of the decorating. I usually dress the tables for the amazing food we serve before the conference. If you've never been......attending just for the food would make it worth your trip. You don't have to attend our church to attend the yearly conference. This year, we had around eighty attend the conference and it was a great time.

Here's my ticket:

Our menu this year:

Valentines 2018 Dinner

Filet Mignon 8 oz.
Baked Potatoes (Loaded!)
Caesar Salad
Tossed Salad
Mushroom with Onions and Garlic
Hot Rolls
Angel Food Strawberry Shortcake
Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Table Centerpiece for Love Day: What You'll Need

Glass Vase (Dollar Tree or Dollar Store Kind)

Burlap and Lace Wrap

Heart Beads

Floral Arrangement

Water

Good Friends to Help you Put them Together (Optional, but more fun with friends)

Hot glue the burlap around the vase and put your heart shaped beads in the bottom. The bowls to the side are candy dishes I glued some heart shaped beads on. A cute way to serve candy on Love Day.

Our floral arrangement included: Daisies, Carnations, Fern and Leather. My friends and I arranged them at Forever Yours Florist in Seiling, OK. What a fun time together. Here is the finished center piece. It sat on a square black cloth with a mirror in the center of our dinner tables. I just love pretty things.

Back to Basics with Buttermilk Cheddar Biscuits

Spring has sprung on the farm. The trees and flowers have awoke from their winter sleep with beautiful blooms. Hummingbirds have arrived to feed on my feeders and the noise coming from the trees is a wonderful melody of bird song. We were recently enchanted with a very special visit from my granddaughter, Hadlee Rose Mount. The sacred bond between a grandmother and her granddaughter is a sweet whisper of love from the depths of our souls. During Hadlee Rose's stay, we planted a lovely Queen Elizabeth Rose Bush, right outside my bedroom window. Even though we are often separated by many miles, I hear her love whisper each time I gaze upon our rose bush and I whisper back, "I love you sweet Hadlee Rose." In keeping with the simple, basic living ideas of the Morgan Family Farm, I've chose my go to homemade Buttermilk Cheddar Biscuits recipe for todays blog. Let's get started. What You'll Need: 2 Cups all-purpose flour (plus more as ne

Blueberry Scones

Scones f or the Queen Duchess of Bedford is thought to have begun the British ritual of an afternoon snack, sometime in the early 1840s. The Duchess was tired of feeling famished in the middle of the afternoon and thought a little snack, with tea, would be just the thing. The tradition of eating a light meal with company in the middle of the day became firmly entrenched in British national life. During the early years of Queen Victoria’s reign, the United Kingdom was desperate for rituals of comfort and domesticity. Afternoon tea and scones were just what they needed. How to Prepare Blueberry Scones I always premeasure all need ingredients before getting started. Timing is crucial, especially when baking, so it's much more efficient if you measure ahead of time. It saves you from stopping during the process to measure. So, the first thing I did was premeasure all ingredients. To get started, I preheated my oven to 400 degrees F. and lined a large baking pan wit
