I went to the city this week for a doctor’s appointment. I decided to do some shopping for our girl while she was at school, and I was alone. Christmas was in full swing. I have to admit. I am one who loves Christmas. I carpool three days a week. I promised the kids that…

I am a Christ follower, wife and momma.
We enjoy growing a large garden, canning up our harvest, raising our meats, enjoying farm fresh eggs, loving on our Guernsey dairy cow, Maggie Moo and her calf Dollop of Daisy.
I am a Certified Trim Healthy Mama Coach. I love living healthy, creating healthy dishes and have a few family favorites that we do enjoy on planned cross-over meals.
Our Farmhouse Kitchen will share recipes, faith, health and homesteading tips.
Blessings from our homestead

Eating In Season
Eating in season is colorful. As the season changes, the color on our plate changes too! #ourfarmhousekitchen #trimhealthymama
Fall into Comfort.
Comfort food in my opinion is not just for cold weather, raining days or when you might feel under the weather! Comfort food is meant for the entire year. As the nights get cooler and the salad items dwindling in the garden, chores are done earlier, and darkness comes at dinner time. The need for…
Sheep!
For many years, we have received a freezer lamb from our friends. It is personally my favorite meat. I have always called it the lobster of the farm! With our new homestead, sheep was on the list to be added once we had the fencing completed. I am intrigued that God refers to us as…
Gathering Food
This is one of my favorite times of year. The garden is in full swing. It is busy, but the rewards are delicious! It’s the time of year that I can meander through the garden, choosing what I will feed my family for dinner. Dinner is an exciting time. It’s a time where the entire…
Everyday Seasoning
Inspired by the hubby lovin’ seasoning from THM cookbook, I made a few tweaks to the recipe based on the taste for our family. I purchase my nutritional yeast from Trim Healthy Mama. All nutritional yeast is not created equal! Did you know that only two companies in America (Trim Healthy Mama and Sari) produce both a non-genetically-modified…
Creamy Spinach Rice
This in one of my family’s favorites. I have to make sure we have leftovers. My girl always wants it for breakfast! I do follow the Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle. This would fit into a carb fuel setting. Watch portion size as you will want just a huge bowl of it! It’s great leftover and…
Roasted Rabbit with Mushrooms
Roasted Rabbit with Creamy Spinach and Roasted Mushrooms Here’s what I love about raising rabbits. They are the easiest to raise on the homestead. They take up the least amount of space. The conversion of feed to meat is the least. So therefore, they are least costly to raise. Let’s talk about their health benefits!…
When it’s chilly, it’s time for Chili!
I don’t know about you, but I love a good bowl of chili on a chilly day! This time of year, I start my evening rounds of homestead chores about 4 pm. When the weather is cold, it takes a bit longer. It took me a couple hours the other night and when I got…
WELCOME TO THE FARM
Welcome to C&J Homestead. Happy New Year. Just like that, we are into 2026. Another year, we celebrate how good God is and his blessings on our lives. We enjoyed the Christmas season. It was quieter than usually, as family did not come in from out of town this year. But it wasn’t quiet on…
