Fall Salads

As summer winds down, and days are getting shorter, it doesn’t change my love for salad! But, my salads do change! In the spring, I find a lot of foraged greens, like dandelion and nettle. As garden comes in, it’s baby zucchini, cucumbers and fresh garden greens. But there is something about a fall salad!…

Farmhouse Kitchen Mayonnaise

I have tried for many years to find a homemade mayonnaise that I liked. With complete failure! Until now. I read a blog on the technique of making homemade mayonnaise. With new gusto, determination to kick the shelf stable, chemical ladened items to the curb, and a new immersion blender, I tried again. It worked!…

Garden Frittata

Tonight’s dinner on the homestead was a frittata. It did not disappoint! I paired it with grilled wild salmon. The salmon was caught by our friends on a fishing trip. So, a very special treat! Grab your garden basket, head to the garden and gather up what you need for this delicious dish. It’s quick…

Grammie’s Baked Beans

A Saturday Night Tradition. Growing up, we had several traditions. I think of ones like, going out to cut our Christmas tree that Daddy found while hunting. Grammie’s Pink Salad on every holiday! It was a treat! Our Christmas Eve hot dog roast picnic in the living room by the fireplace and then we opened…

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…
