I have tried so many dinner roll recipes over the years, and I could never find one that I really loved. I eventually found a recipe online that was pretty close to what I wanted, but it still wasn’t quite there. So, like I tend to do, I started messing with it. I made themContinue reading “Farmhouse Dinner Rolls”

Homemade Amish White Bread
Sometimes you don’t need to mess with a good thing too much. I got this Amish white bread recipe from my friend Sarah N., and it has quickly become one of those recipes I find myself going back to over and over again. I did have to tweak the method a little bit to workContinue reading “Homemade Amish White Bread”
What Harvest Season Really Looks Like for Our Family
Fall is one of our favorite times of year, but around here, fall also means harvest, and harvest changes just about everything about our normal routine. For several weeks, life becomes a balancing act. I’m making sure Carson is fed throughout the day, trying to make sure he’s getting enough sleep and taking care ofContinue reading “What Harvest Season Really Looks Like for Our Family”
What We’re Preserving this Fall
Fall preserving has officially started around here, although apparently no one told our tomato plants that summer is ending. We are still going strong with tomatoes, and honestly, I don’t see the end quite yet. We’ve been making salsa, spaghetti sauce, and tomato basil soup, and we’ll keep going as long as the tomatoes do.Continue reading “What We’re Preserving this Fall”
Beef to Butterflies
I feel like we’re always raising something around here. Whether it’s a calf that will eventually grow into a full-sized beef cow, vegetables that started as tiny seeds and will eventually fill our pantry shelves, or, most recently, tiny monarch caterpillars, there always seems to be something around here that needs fed, watered, checked on,Continue reading “Beef to Butterflies”
Late Summer on the Farm
Sometimes I feel like calving season is never actually over around here. Our lives seem to revolve around seasons—planting, side dressing, calving, chickens, harvest, and knowing when cattle and hogs will be ready to be processed. One season seems to run right into the next, and before we know it, we’re starting all over again.Continue reading “Late Summer on the Farm”
Italian Garlic and Herb Bread
I recently got the most amazing Amish white bread recipe from my friend Sarah N., and ever since, I’ve been playing around with it and making different versions of my own, adding a little of this, taking away a little of that, and seeing what I can come up with. Italian Garlic & Herb BreadContinue reading “Italian Garlic and Herb Bread”
Creamy Spinach Artichoke Chicken Alfredo
I love a good challenge of turning one meal into two and making the work I’ve already done stretch a little further. I think every mom knows how much time goes into simply thinking about what to make for supper, let alone actually making it. “What’s for supper?” is an everyday question in our house, and I’mContinue reading “Creamy Spinach Artichoke Chicken Alfredo”
What We’re Doing in the August Garden
Green beans, green beans, green beans! We have green beans coming out of our ears this year. We have already put up more than 100 quarts, and they are still coming! We’ve canned them, blanched and frozen them, and given plenty away to family and friends. When the garden gives us more than we could possiblyContinue reading “What We’re Doing in the August Garden”
Easy Overnight Sourdough Pancakes
When I was 20, I decided to make my own sourdough starter because I couldn’t find anyone who had one. I worked at it for about three months, following recipes to a T and I never succeeded. I later learned why. I had been keeping my starter by the window in the winter, thinking itContinue reading “Easy Overnight Sourdough Pancakes”
