##### [Vegetarian/Vegan Rice and Bean Casserole](https://thecraftyhomemaker.com/blog/vegetarian-vegan-rice-and-bean-casserole)

Growing up my mom used to make a wonderful rice casserole. except she used ground beef as the base. I thought I'd change up the recipe and I thought I'd bring you along with me as I'm making a vegetarian version of my mom's rice casserole.

##### [How To Make Homemade All Natural Dish Soap 2.0](https://thecraftyhomemaker.com/blog/how-to-make-homemade-all-natural-dish-soap-2-0)

I know I have made a previous video on making dish soap before but this is a much better version. And it did thicken up more after it had cooled down so this is now a great dish soap recipe. Link to the book I got this from is listed below.

##### [Matchstick Old West Town](https://thecraftyhomemaker.com/blog/matchstick-old-west-town)

This was another very fun village to make and there were a couple of buildings that I have never made before so it was fun creating these new ones.
