Make It From Scratch - Going Home Edition

This is the final roving edition of the Make It From Scratch Carnival. Starting next week it will be appearing exclusively on its home blog at Make It From Scratch where you can find all sorts of good information, recipes and projects everyday and the carnival every Tuesday. In honor of that momentous change, I'm dubbing this the "going home" edition of the carnival and illustrating it with some interesting houses. I hope you enjoy them and all the articles featured here.


She had so many children, Mother Hubbard must have made a lot of bread. I hope she had Nerd Family Food's recipe for Buttery Rolls. These look delicious!

If she had given her kids Family Balance Sheet's brownies with homemade whipped cream for dessert I bet they would have done anything she asked!

As an alternative, she might try this mixed berry cobbler from right here at SimplyForties. It's an easy dessert to throw together!


I think you'd need some good skills to have a built a house like this one! The Smarter Wallet wants us to develop skills for managing our life so we can save money. That's something we can all use!

Imagine this bowl-shaped house filled with gluten-free lemon pasta. Beautiful and healthy, I'm sure this dish has a lovely fresh flavor. Thanks to Natural Health eZine for sharing it!



Clearly this architect has a thing for circles. I bet he'd love to make easy onion rings from The Backyard Grower.

Can you imagine flying one of Model Aviation's Boomerang model paper airplanes out of one of the upper windows of this building? I'd love to see that flight!

Speaking of windows, there are a lot of them in this building. Laura Williams has a great tip for making inexpensive curtains. Her's only cost $1! Laura also sent me the picture of the spaceship house. Thanks Laura!



I think if you built a house like this one you could probably fashion some furniture to go in it with no trouble at all. The Digerati Life thinks making furniture is a great way to save money. Can you picture your house furnished with Federal Express boxes?

Somehow I don't see anything as cute as Hot Polka Dot's "Beater Licking Good" Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes with White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting in this weird house but I bet they'd love them if they got the chance!



Isn't this house Easter-colored? Recycle Cindy has a cute and timely crocheted Easter basket. If I still had young children, I'd be whipping up a few of these!

Refreshing Design has a cute idea for decorating a nursery. This is a great idea that easily grows with the child. I think it would be right at home in this colorful house.


I think this house needs something fluffy and white to smooth out its sharp edges. How about some mashed cauliflower? Two Southern Girls promises that "cauliflower can be delicious". I don't need any prompting, I love cauliflower and if disguising it as mashed potatoes makes more people give it a try, more power to them!

As cool looking as this house, The Conscious Shopper's Kale Chips sound delicious and nutritious. I love kale and I'm going to give these a try.

That's it! Another great week at the Make It From Scratch carnival. Be sure and show the authors some love by visiting and commenting upon their articles and advertising the carnival on Twitter, Facebook and whatever other social media networks you enjoy.

Remember, as of next week the carnival will be stationary at its home site, Make It From Scratch. Encourage your blogging buddies to submit their recipes and projects along with your own!
