Lamb for Easter

Looking back to the World War I era, we’ve presenting recipes for two dishes that would have been on many tables for a special event like a family’s Easter dinner. Learn how to roast lamb with garden vegetables and fresh rosemary, and get a recipe for fruit compote, a sweet concoction that takes advantage of seasonal fruits.

The Westfield Plan

McDade Westfield

The Westfield Log Home Plan by Honest Abe Log Homes, Inc. features a garage, loft and open great room. At 1,928 square feet, the Westfield is a mid-sized home, three-bedroom home perfect for raising a family or vacationing in the mountains or by the lake. The appealing exterior has a wrap-around porch with twin dormers.

The first floors’ living room has a cathedral ceiling and open floor plan. The separate kitchen flows into the open dining area. The master suite has a walk-in closet and luxury bath with a garden tub and walk-in shower. The laundry room forms a breezeway connecting a double garage.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms served by a full bath. The staircase lands onto a wide loft large enough for an office, library, craft room or sitting room, which is open to the dining and living area below.

The master bedroom, walk-in closet and bathroom stretch the entire width of the log home. In the living room there is a traditional wood burning fire, and the first floor is surrounded by a porch area.

The dining area leads through to a laundry room that is also accessible from the porch area outside, which in turn leads through to a garage. To the second floor, there are two bedrooms, a bathroom and a loft area which overlooks the living room area below.

Pictured here are two homes customized using the Westfield plan. Read more about these homes, and download the plan here.
