DIY Easter Cross Wreath

Image
  SUPPLIES YOU WILL NEED FOR THIS WREATH: A long and short bundle of twigs (from your local craft store or gathered from outside) Large fake flowers and smaller filler flowers twine scissors and/or floral cutters hot glue gun Hobby Lobby is my go-to craft store and that’s where I found my supplies. I grabbed a bundle of twigs from there and trimmed some of them down for the horizontal part of the cross. They also had some already bundled together with a mini circular wreath attached, and those would have worked well too. The first step  is to use twine to bundle together two sets of twigs. One set should be shorter than the other. Mine were actually equal in length but I just trimmed one set later on. The next step  is to assemble the cross by joining the bundles of twigs together with more twine. At this point, I trimmed the horizontal branches. I used floral cutters for the thicker branches and scissors for the thinner ones. The last step  is attaching the flowers with hot glue. I at

Apache Acorn Stew

Image
  Here’s a recipe for the  Apache Acorn Stew  that we tasted in delight at the Festival, here adapted to serving 8-10 persons instead of a whole tribal gathering: Ingredients: 4-5 qts (or more) drinking water 1-2 lbs bigger-than-bite-size chunks of stew beef or wild elk meat 4-5 summer squash of whatever you grow (e.g.medium to large zucchini or 8-10 paddie-pan) 8-10 whole corn-on-the-cob (de-husked, broken in half) 1-3 cups prepared bread dough, pinched into ribbons and torn into 2″ pieces (you can skip this if Paleo or use a gluten free bread dough) 1/2-1cup ground Emory oak acorn flour *optional but I used 3 cloves of garlic and salt and pepper to your liking. Directions: Over an open fire in a big pot, boil beef until tender, making a rich stock.  Add chunked/diced summer squash. Keep simmering. Add torn pieces of bread dough and let puff up.  Add whole corn cobs cut in half. When everything is well-simmered and tastes great, and still on the fire, gradually stir in the acorn flour
