Vegetable Soup

The day that I make a big pot of vegetable soup is the same day that I clean out my refrigerator. Any coincidence in these two activities is purely intentional.

FYI Bread Bakers

Adding Hemp, Chia, and Flax seeds to my whole wheat bread is a big success! The seeds add nutrition and a great nutty flavor.

Jalapeno Corn Bread

Plain Corn bread is boring. My Jalapeno Corn bread with chopped Jalapenos, real corn, chopped onions, and gluten free corn meal is a beautiful thing, especially when served dripping with butter and honey!

Burners Needed

I need more burners on my stove top! There are only four and that is NOT near enough this time of year. Right now, one burner has a pot of bean soup, one burner is bubbling away with pickled Jalapeno peppers being canned, and two burners contain tomato sauce. There is another five gallon bucket […]

Tomato Update

Tomato sauce bubbling away on the stove is a happy thing.  I think that the Giant Italian Paste tomatoes make the best sauce. They do not have as many seeds as other varieties and the sauce thickens quickly.  It smells good in here. I take the green tomato stems out to my chickens. It is […]

Cut-Offs

The tomatoes are finally abundant enough to do some serious sauce! It’s about time! The extreme hot weather has been good for something. Cutting off an old pair of jeans into shorts improves my comfort zone. I would not wear them anywhere except the garden and the kitchen, but they sure do help to keep […]

Celebrating the Elderberry

My kitchen is the center for the Elderberry celebration. What comes out of it will be Elderberry Syrup (flu and cold prevention and treatment), Elderberry Jam, and Elderberry pie (to make Bob happy). The first picking and cleaning was last night. It takes longer to remove the berries from the stems than it does to […]

Chicken Soup

I wasn’t feeling well, so I called a friend and asked her to pray. She prayed and arrived with homemade chicken soup. What a blessing! The Body of Christ in operation is a beautiful thing.

Seasons

The tiny cabbage seeds have come full circle. They grew into huge green cabbages in the main garden. The next step, was to turn them into sour kraut. Today, I will be canning the kraut.  Since moving to the farm, twenty years ago, I have learned to appreciate and to celebrate each season of things.  […]
