If you've read many homesteading blogs, you'll notice a theme. Many of us are inspired by the Little House on the Prairie
books. The way Laura Ingalls Wilder describes their lives way back when makes us declare random things like "I need a root cellar!" and "Honey, don't you think you could smoke our meat in a hollow tree?" and "Where can I find some good lard?" and "Let's get a milk cow!"

Pressure Cooker Cooking
Friday, January 23, 2015
Grandma gave Jeremy and me a pressure cooker
for Christmas. It is wonderful! With the pressure cooker we've been able to have real food faster. And you when cook cheaper cuts of meat in it, it comes out fall-off-the-bone tender! (Unless it doesn't have a bone; in that case it's just really tender. That's just not as catchy though, is it?) In other words, I think it will save us a lot of money.
Zucchini Bread!
Friday, January 16, 2015
Zucchini is one of the few things I can grow. (And really, saying I can grow a few things is exaggerating. It's really one of the two things I can grow.) But, I can definitely grow it. Excessively. It might not have much to do with me actually. Zucchini is one of those things that grows over night. You check it one day and the fruit it too small to harvest, and the next day it's as big as a baseball bat. Literally.
Baked Oatmeal ~ A Recipe
Sunday, January 4, 2015
Anybody run into problems thinking of something for breakfast? We love baked oatmeal around here; we have it at least once a week. It's sweet (but no refined sugar!) and filling, and pretty easy to make. I have the recipe memorized now, and it's a tweakable recipe (which I love) so you can have some fun with it!
Sweet Potato Casserole in the Crockpot
Monday, November 24, 2014
Just a quick recipe for you today!
We had an end-of-the-semester covered dish at Classical Conversations today. It was Noemi's and my first time back to CC. We had a great day, but I'm exhausted tonight!

Fermented Dill Pickles (Maybe?)
Wednesday, August 20, 2014
I'm starting to wonder if I'm a glutton for punishment, or maybe failure.
Grandma showed me another dill pickle recipe. Instead of thinking, I've already tried and failed this year, I thought, "Well, this looks promising!"

Peach Cobbler ~ Whole Foods Style
Monday, August 11, 2014
Ya'll, yum! I love good food. I really love good desserts. And when I can make a dessert that is good, really good, and made of whole foods that I don't have to feel guilty about, I'm in heaven. And I eat it all. I am pregnant after all. (Not that I wouldn't if I weren't pregnant.) I do still have to share some with the selfish people I live with. Only bad part about it.
