Sausage! It’s what’s for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This delicious hot sausage has a bit of spice, but not too much. It’s slightly hot with an undertone of sweet. And it’s made fresh by you, so you’ll know exactly what’s in it. The flavor of this sausage is slightly reminiscent of Mexican chorizo. I’ve had …
We’ve been enjoying our beautiful summer with trips to the local lakes and river for fishing. We had a few trout in the freezer and decided to invite a couple of neighbors over for a trout feast. Our off grid kitchen is perfect for barbecue. In ‘the olden days’ of my fish barbecuing experience I’d …
Yum! This is a recipe I found on Pinterest that really caught my eye. During the spring and early summer our chickens work overtime laying us lots of eggs. Finding ways to enjoy these eggs is always my goal. The inspiration recipe is Punjabi Egg Curry from My Heart Beats. At that post she links …
One day while cruising Pinterest a Salmon Curry popped up. I have a fondness for all things curry and had to check it out. The original recipe looked delicious but had many ingredients that we don’t keep on hand — in fact, some of them I’ve never even heard of! But I loved the idea …
Our first poultry raising experience started with six chicks when we lived in Oregon. The house that we bought had a chicken coop so when spring arrived we went down to the feed store and came home with an assortment of six little fluff balls. They were a few days old were quite fun. …
Hot or cold this baked custard makes a wonderful breakfast, dessert or snack! Add an extra sprinkle of nutmeg right before serving. Delicious! For several years I took a hiatus of sorts from cooking. Most of what we ate during that time was dine out, take out or frozen. On occasion I’d cook something from ‘scratch’ …
We raise ducks for eggs. About every other year we get a new batch of ducklings either from a friend who incubates or from incubating them ourselves (with our neighbor’s little incubator). The trouble with these new ducks is they won’t all be females and obviously only the females lay eggs. So we end up …
Each fall we attempt to fill our freezer with venison and antelope. If we are successful I take it as a challenge to get creative with our wild game dishes. While my absolute favorite way to enjoy game is chicken fry I certainly don’t want to make it too often. This Kombucha Stewed Venison is …
A few months ago I had one of those days when my menu plan fell apart. I happened to click on facebook and saw a post from Eat Nourishing for West African Chicken. The recipe looked delicious but I knew I could never get chicken breasts thawed out in time for dinner. Why not use …
Travel season is officially here! When my family is away from home we still strive to stick with the traditional food style of eating that we enjoy at home. By eating the way we are accustomed we can help reduce any dietary distress and feel our best while we are out enjoying ourselves. While sticking …
Most of our breakfasts are quite quick since someone is always trying to get out the door. But on weekends or days without school or work we’ll have a more leisurely breakfast. Pancakes are often requested. Due to cost, we very rarely have maple syrup with our pancakes. Sometimes I’ll make Buttermilk Syrup but …
I love to travel. As a child we didn’t have many family vacations but I do remember a couple of trips. One was a camping trip from our home in Kansas to Idaho and back. Driving most of the day and camping in a new campground at night was very fun to a young girl! …
A few years ago I discovered The Prudent Homemaker’s website. I love this site for the huge amount of frugal ideas. Brandy and her family built up food storage when times were good and had it to fall back on when times were not as good. She shares many recipes featuring her food storage plus …
This is a tasty lunch that we enjoy as often as we can. Leftover mashed potatoes combined with wild caught canned salmon and an egg or two to hold it all together makes a super easy and delicious patty. These are great fresh out of the pan or served cold making them packed lunch friendly. …
Once in a while I like to do something slightly different than our regular sourdough bread, such as Swirl Bread or Swirl Rolls. Cinnamon swirl bread is super popular with my little boy. It is takes only a few extra minutes to turn our Minimal Knead Sourdough Sandwich Bread into a swirl loaf. My bread recipe …
