    What's for dinner?

    Been working up "on sale" ground beef, Xtra lean! On sale way less than 80%...so, I have some fresh, packaged in flat 1# and/or pre formed burgers. Saved $2.50 a #. Saved some out for a meatloaf tonight. Haven't made one in a while, nice change. Should be last of winter meat stock ups...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Congrats on that new grandbaby! Your chickens are lovingly spoiled. 🤭 Mine won't get to see that set up --- nope. They go into their appointed barns or not 🤷. But our weather much milder here. Sorry you guys couldn't get the updated blood work wanted. Guess they only want to monitor their...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    Free apples make good everything! :lol: Read today that they've produced a yeast that can be made into the casein of milk -- for vegan cheese! NOT gonna ever replace Mother Natures own fresh milk from my goats, & others cows! Dang. Like cloning. 🥴 Vegans -- just don't eat cheeses!!! :old...

    Are we living our dream?

    Every little bit helps -- at least here it does! 😉. The frozen into house freezer should help. Accessible! Makes it see & useable.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Cold start and cool day. Significant north wind. Mostly an inside day due to 20 mph winds. I did load up all trash and took to dump. 👍👍 Good girl! 🤣. Thinking oven meal tonight.

    Embracing Winter on the Homestead: A Seasonal Journey

    When the grasses die in the fields you "find things" :lol: clean them up. You do fence work, feed lots of hay. My area gets very little snow (thankfully!!!) and normally only a few days of hard freeze. If it happens, you break ice, tote hot water...grumble! Always keep a couple weeks of...

    What's for dinner?

    I like potato soup. Tasty comfort. Brings back memories of years back. Grands grew a lot of them -- big family, hard times, good food. 🥰

    Are we living our dream?

    Depending on type of corn you can make corn meal & flour for the house. 👍 Extra chickens could be butchered if you don't need eggs, or if old hens. We know those make the best broth, chicken & dumplings, etc. 😊 Yeah, I know you know. 🤣 I hope you get the pain managed. :hugs :fl

    Are you turning you whole garden containers? I remember you had a big garden in pics a few yrs back. All gardening is work but, containers do better with weed control usually. 🤷 I'll do a couple this spring & compare to work with old style.

    What are your go-to tips for making the most of your harvest each season?

    It's nice to have extra to share -- especially if the folks appreciate the gifts. I've had neighbors who not only appreciated but truly needed the extras. So I share with people, trade with friends when we have a crop not produce or only want "a few". And I have animals that are always...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    With meats I'm always suspicious of a bit of fat getting onto rim during processing...as they vent. :idunno it's often a mystery. My table stays full of jars during canning, while waiting a couple days for positive seal checks before storing away. Phobia.
