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”

Spinach Artichoke Dip
When I say I’ve spent years trying to crack the code to the perfect spinach artichoke dip, I truly mean years. There has been so much trial and error. Every version I made either tasted too sour, lacked flavor, or turned out curdled. It was never quite right. My husband and I had a favoriteContinue reading “Spinach Artichoke Dip”
Homemade Everyday Sandwich Bread
I think it’s quite comical that I love baking with yeast, because I grew up with a mother who could never quite figure it out. She could bake anything — as long as it didn’t call for yeast. The moment yeast was involved, it just never worked for her. When I started baking with yeast,Continue reading “Homemade Everyday Sandwich Bread”
The Heart Behind the Homestead
There is nothing better than waking up in the morning, making your cup of coffee, and looking out the window to see a beautiful herd of cattle standing in the golden morning sun, and simply thanking God for another day you’ve been blessed with. My husband and I always knew we would stay farmers. IContinue reading “The Heart Behind the Homestead”
